Moved away from 
good old java
Changing the way we work 
• CSS, HTML and even JS in Java 
• Later replaced by JSP for templating 
• Open Source Stack 
• Bootstrap for frontend 
• JavaScript templating via Dust 
• Project Delorean: V8 in PayPal’s C++ stack 
• Rhino: JS for PayPal’s Java stack

Results 
• Team sizes decreased 
• Doubled requests per second 
• 35% decrease in average response time 
• Lines of code shrunk by factor 3 to 5 
• Increased development pace 
• Full stack JS investment
Thank you!
