http://venturebeat.com/2011/08/16/linkedin-node/ For what it's worth, I have also heard Jeff from Paypal at this years' MLOC-JS conference. As I've understood it, they're using Node as a web tier, the various heavy-weight backend is still handled in Java and others. But the takeaway for me there was that they "won over Java on the business arguments, not technical" - meaning much much faster iterations over the old Java flow and ability to respond to (business) requests and implement them daily, almost hourly, over weeks it would take in Java. There are a few articles of how their prototype was developed in paralell with a Java team. What I remember from the talk is that Java team had 7 people, Node.js had 3, and the Node team was done sooner and their code had much more throughput and was even a bit faster then Java, in what they used it for. -- Zlatko -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
