The Road to Node
summary
MercadoLibre migrated front-end work to Node using a standardized Nordic Docker image to unify environments across 1,500 developers and 4,600 repositories, and split packages into nordic and nordic-core. They built Ragnar (an augmented Express) that provides bundled auth, i18n and clustering, and added middleware to render server-side React (res.render -> React components) for shared universal views; removing react-router on the server drastically reduced render latency and sped local boot times.
