Last year, Trevor Norris spoke at UtahJS on the Birth and Evolution of Async Hooks. Async Hooks is a feature that–after over three years of development–finally landed in the Node.js 8.x release line, and has now shipped as an LTS feature with Node.js 8 "Carbon" LTS.

In his talk Trevor goes over a few key subjects:

• The history of Async Hooks, from the beginning
• How the set of "features" for the Async Hooks API was defined
• The trials and tribulations of implementing and landing the features over four years
• The roadblocks and surprises while implementing Async Hooks
