Clash of the Titans: Releasing the Kraken
summary
Claim: swapping JSP/Java Spring for a NodeJS-centered stack plus DustJS, Bootstrap, GitHub, Bower and an internal npm registry cuts prototype-to-payment time from months to days. A skunk‑works Hermes prototype hits a working mobile checkout and processes payments in three days, replacing a prior six‑week text change cycle; a parallel rollout runs wallet on Java and Node until Node proves itself. Engineering hardens Node in a project called Kraken production hardening and ships incremental UX tests weekly.
