Why are web servers so complex when all they do is exchange text? This talk explores the concept of microcontroller-constrained web design, using an ESP32-S3 to host a functional blog with limited resources and high efficiency.
*About the Speaker*
Joni Hendrickson is an embedded software engineer based in Seattle, WA.
*About Teardown*
Teardown is a yearly event hosted by Crowd Supply that draws hackers, makers, and engineers from across the US (and the world) to meet together in Portland, Oregon. Teardown is about the practice of hardware: prototyping, manufacturing, testing, disassembling, and circumventing, all while having fun. Teardown attendees can expect lively talks, demos, art installations, hands-on workshops, fiendish puzzles, and lots of good food. Check it out! crowdsupply.com/teardown
