I think the 'big application' bit is what challenges many people. From what I understand, Netflix is essential a huge group of micro-services, and I 'think' this is where Node.js shines.

What are your thoughts on that? When you're developing a service at Netflix, does it feel like you're building a single large application? Does the mentality of micro-services change how you approach code and therefore the validity of the original posts arguments?

He said they write services with the JVM, nodejs just for the frontend, at their scale I doubt they will change from the JVM to nodejs for services.
