In this episode of Running in Production, Jack Slingerland goes over building his platform with Express / Node. It handles 2.5+ million requests a day and hosting costs about $65 / month on DigitalOcean for 2 web servers and a few other things. It’s been up and running since early 2015.
Jack wrote 100,000+ lines of code on his own in his spare time. We talked about buildings monoliths, switching from Apache to nginx during a 10 hour car ride, keeping your deployments as simple as possible (even with zero down time) and a whole lot more.
