The Node.js story at Netflix -- how we scaled our Node.js stack to 60 million subscribers
Abstract
Building services in Node.js is easy. Running and supporting them at scale in
production is hard. At Netflix, we embarked on a journey to use Node and its
ecosystem of modules as the foundation to build a new website for millions of
our subscribers.
In this talk, I will share our experiences building and scaling our Node stack
-- the foundation of our web UI. Along the way, find out about the
methodology, tools and modules we used. Peer behind the curtain as I tell the
story about how we optimized CPU utilization, fixed memory leaks, and increased
visibility. You'll learn how and why we built our Node stack to be both
observable and resilient -- attributes which help us avoid and quickly mitigate
issues in production.
