" summary

PayPal runs a single Node app serving 350 million requests a day (peaking at 491 million on Black Friday), and the platform team pushes practices that worked: open-source modules like Mongoose matured into full-time projects, inner-source on GitHub Enterprise, CI via Travis/Circle/Jenkins pipelines, and dependency tooling (Greenkeeper/Renovate) to tame ~600,000 npm modules and apps with thousands of transitive deps; product-aligned squads require every role filled or delivery stalls.
