Running Theia Applications Without a Backend - A Browser-Only Approach

Learn how to run Theia applications without a backend in this 25-minute conference talk from TheiaCon 2023. Discover the new "browser-only" target that transforms Theia into a static website, eliminating the need for complex cloud infrastructure and reducing hosting costs. Explore the architecture behind this innovative approach as Stefan Dirix from EclipseSource demonstrates how to deploy Theia-based applications directly to CDNs, Github pages, or any web server. Gain insights into practical use cases, implementation strategies, and potential cost savings while understanding the evolution from traditional browser and electron targets to this streamlined browser-only solution.
