I feel no shame at admitting we are no good at creating eye-catching designs, hence no fancy stuff, just a simple design and straight to the point. We had to do away with magento system because it wasn't good at handling a lot of load. We also had to come up with a in-house solution and were pretty impressed with exciting prospect Node.js offered.

The current single server app is capable of handling twice the traffic with much ease what multiple servers we had magento running on were not able to. Site speed improved, user engagement improved a lot, better conversion rates, backend consoles became faster, the list goes on. Yes, we could line up more servers, tune the servers to handle more load, we chose to spend time/effort in Node.js rather.

He-he, I believe, if Your e-commerce solution will have such load - You may easily hire as many developers and do as many databases, simultaneously as You wish :)

    Dear all,

    We at Urbantouch (www.urbantouch.com <http://www.urbantouch.com>),
    an Indian e-commerce startup,
    have built a tailor-made node.js e-commerce platform/frontend/crm,
    logistics backend.

    It's been 6 months we ditched magento platform for the home-grown
    node.js setup, needless to say we're delighted with the performance.
    It's an expressjs application supplemented by numerous node modules,
    mysql, redis, last but not least, a lot of node.js goodies! We are
    thrilled with the fact that we were able to go into production in
    quick
    span of time with a young team.

    Regards,
    Vinayak
