- nodesummit 2013!!

A two-day conference in San Francisco bringing together some of the leading Node.js experts and speakers.

eBay Groupon PayPal !Linkedin Walmart . . . . .

PayPal wrote the same app twice in Node and Java - !

Node was 2x requests/sec, 33% less code, 35% less response time.

PayPal is concentrating on training for their developers to help understand functional and asynchronous coding.

2014, eBay will be using node for the front end, !and Scala / Java for the services.

Both LinkedIn and Groupon !moved from a Rails stack to Node.js

Groupon's node Layout Service returns a "partial rendered" mustache template which the client node app can fish the rendering

"We moved from serving static files on a CDN to generated templates on Node and it was twice as fast.” 

Biggest mind switch !in deploying node is . . . . .

Ruby on Rails is like a minivan. It has all the features. Node is like a Ferrari.!!

Developers go at 200mph but then they crash.

The harder transition was not from Ruby and Java to node, it was from OO to functional programming.

The 250-500 ms node process start / stop time has been a huge benefit at LinkedIn and Groupon.

Fast deployment is a huge advantage for node. !Hard to deploy multiple times a day when it takes 2 hours each time.

Node restarts so quickly crashed aren't a big deal.

If you want to transition to node.js!Take it slow try it out with a few apps.

Framework . . . . .

Why there are so many Java frameworks ?Programmers are lazy and don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Node is not Java.

using Node . . . . .

If your business is changing, if you want to try new things and stay agile, node is ideal.

Small, reusable modules, unix philosophy, and not investing too much in frameworks.

Join an opensource project - stalk server or yours!with Node again.
