Stop duplicating your backend logic for iOS and Android 🫸 Node.js on mobile is finally a reality with Bare Runtime — a lightweight, modular alternative to Node, Deno, and Bun designed for native-speed execution.
In this talk, Tony Gorez (Holepunch) breaks down how to achieve Zero-Bridge performance by offloading heavy JS logic into Bare Worklets, giving your React Native apps a massive architectural upgrade without the typical overhead.
What’s under the hood:
✪ The Mobile Runtime Gap: Why Node, Deno, and Bun fail on mobile and how Bare fills the void.
✪ Bare vs. The World: A direct comparison of runtime footprints and module flexibility.
✪ Zero-Bridge Architecture: Using Bare Worklets and IPC to offload CPU-intensive tasks from the UI thread.
✪ NAPI & Native Addons: Building high-performance cross-platform modules with GSTL.
✪ Real-world Case Study: How Holepunch shares 100% of business logic between Desktop and Mobile.
✪ The "Less is More" Philosophy: Why a minimalist core is the secret to zero-heartbreak upgrades.
🔥 Tony Gorez is a Systems Engineer at Holepunch and a core Bare runtime developer. A security expert and ex-Postman engineer, he specializes in high-performance JS infrastructure and reverse engineering. Tony shares his deep-system insights with the global community through his platform, Reverse Society.
This talk was recorded at Node Congress 2026.
