James Bellenger, Twitter | Node Summit 2017
summary
Twitter ships Twitter Lite, a Progressive Web App and small Node.js server that relaunches the mobile web experience three months after GA and targets emerging markets with slow connections. The stack is a single JavaScript codebase running client and server, the back end is rewritten on Node.js, engineers see much faster development (recompile in about one second vs minutes), daily releases from a team growing from ~12–15 to ~25, a 30 percent faster launch and an app that fits under 600 kilobytes for low-data users.
