2. Gossamer Albatross
“The problem is, we don’t
understand the problem”.

3. nearForm & Node.js
50+ production systems since 2011.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.

4. Design for Iteration
Rapid innovation requires rapid
feedback cycles.

5. Design for Measurement
Rapid innovation requires evidence
from data to guide the iterations.

6. PayPal
Rapid innovation of UI with Node.js.
Iterate on user experience data.

7. Enterprise Node.js
Rapid adoption reflects real results.

8. Why is Node.js so Effective?
It breaks down the barriers to rapid
innovation by delivering value early.

9. Development Speed
How many quarters does it take to
deliver a CEO initiative?

10. Develop Faster with Node.js
Empirical fact: projects are
delivered in half the time.

11. Technical Debt
Traditional platforms mean lots of
complex buggy code.

12. Node.js means Less Code
Less code means less debt.
Fewer bugs. Easier to change.

13. Coding at the Speed of Tar
Collaboration needs ceremonial
overhead when you’re top heavy.

14. Small Pieces, Loosely Coupled
Node.js modules are the perfect
software component.

15. Legacy Integration
Complex, brittle, political, and
slow failure.

16. Node.js is Network Glue
Designed to play nice with
everyone on the network.

17. The Monolith
Massive, immovable, unchangeable.
Traditional enterprise architecture.

18. Node.js ♥ Microservices
Small. Agile. Adaptable.
Modern enterprise architecture.

19. London School of Marketing
A digital transformation initiative
delivered by Node.js.

20. The Challenge
12 week deadline; 3 companies;
6 countries; 10.5 timezone hours;
9 developers, of which:
6 had no Node.js;
5 had never met;
3 new hires;
and 3 spoke no english.

21. What Happened?
Node.js made rapid iterations work
by providing a low friction platform.

22. Node.js: Rapid Digital Innovation
Developers are more productive.
Less code, so more value sooner.
Practical, effective code re-use.
Integrates with anything.
Perfect for microservices.
