Breaking the Monolith with Node and Docker at Netflix

Explore the journey of migrating from a monolithic data API service to well-isolated microservices using Node.js and Docker containers at Netflix. Learn about the implementation of a Node.js platform as a service, which streamlines debugging, testing, and deployment processes. Discover how this transition improved developer productivity by allowing UI engineers to focus on core business logic. Gain insights into the use of Restify, route management, and Connect-style middleware. Understand the benefits of simplified environment setup, streamlined workflow with tooling, and enhanced operational visibility. Delve into infrastructure integration topics such as Atlas request/response count, server restart count, CPU and heap usage, real-time query server log, distributed request tracing, and shadow testing in production.
