Living the GNU/Linux dream
summary
Yandex frontend infrastructure packages Node.js services as reproducible deb packages split into three artifacts: static (JS/CSS/images), dynamic (the app plus init scripts) and a separate config package. Build runs npm install before creating the .deb, includes node_modules inside the package, and uses maintainer/installer scripts to set up daemons, logs and logrotate. Deployment uses Make targets and an automated CI that builds and pushes to testing; downsides are high setup complexity, dependency-hell, strong admin coordination and ongoing Docker experiments.
