If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build a massively scalable NoSQL database from scratch — in real time — clear your schedule. On December 12th at 9am EST, John A. De Goes is going live with a high-stakes, high-speed coding challenge: create a production-grade NoSQL database in just two hours, using nothing but TypeScript and the power of the Golem runtime.
Yes, you read that right. Two hours. TypeScript. A distributed system. Built live.
Why This Stream Is a Must-Watch
This isn’t your average “let’s build a to-do app” livestream. John will be leaning on Golem, an open-source runtime designed for:
- Durable memory — so your data actually survives the rough and tumble of distributed execution
- Transactional code execution — because consistency matters
- Automatic fault tolerance — ensuring the system stays alive even when everything else doesn’t
It’s the kind of infrastructure normally hidden behind sleek cloud dashboards, but on this stream, you’ll see it wielded directly, bare-metal style.
The Countdown Is On
As the clock ticks down from two hours to zero, viewers can expect:
- Serious architectural thinking
- Distributed systems wizardry
- A healthy dose of TypeScript improvisation
- And probably a moment or two of panic
You’re encouraged to bring your best reactions:
‍Cheer John on as he assembles a database under pressure… or poke fun at his TypeScript rookie mistakes. Both are in the spirit of the event.
Whether you're a systems engineer, a TypeScript fan, a Golem enthusiast, or just someone who loves watching developers sweat in real time, this is one livestream you won’t want to miss. Grab a seat. Bring the popcorn. And prepare to witness distributed systems engineering at full throttle.
Set your reminder: December 12th, 9am EST. See you there. Join us!
