Supercharging Node with Kraken

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

PayPal moves large parts of its web layer to Node and KrakenJS, using KrakenJS modules: makara, lusca, adaro, kappa to handle localization, security, Dust templating and an internal npm proxy. A checkout flow that handles ~$3.5B/year and a wallet rewrite go from prototype to production; two Node engineers match a five‑person Java team while Node shows several‑times higher throughput versus Java’s ~11–15 pages/s on five cores. The stack reduces code, headcount and deploy cycle friction.
