In this episode of Running in Production, Jake Lazaroff talks about building a video rendering service with Express and Node. It runs on a few DigitalOcean servers and has been up and running in production since February 2019.
Jake goes over rendering ~30k+ videos over 2+ years, executing background tasks, sharing lots of code between the back-end and front-end, using both Stripe and PayPal, not using an ORM with PostgreSQL, setting up Blue / Green deploys with Terraform, Packer and nginx, plus tons more.
