We've been doing tons of research into the Netflix methodology and teams are highly compartmentalized (albeit communicate richly). This means that when you ask "What do you do at Netflix?" you should really be asking "What does team X do at Netflix?" or "Does any team at Netflix do X?"
For instance, unless things have changed or I have the story wrong, JVM is used for the streaming because that's the tool which that team chose. The other teams merely communicate with it over an API (regardless of client language).
