OpenJS World

Netflix runs a mission-critical serverless Node.js platform that powers Netflix user interface on all devices. This serverless platform enables a seamless streaming experience around the world. Now, this platform is evolving to power a growing ecosystem of web applications that support Netflix's content production.

The platform is highly optimized to large scale, high-throughput applications. In contrast, content production applications have a small footprint and very different requirements around security, IPC and observability.

How did Netflix increase the scope of the platform while maintaining maximum code reusability? Which techniques were used to isolate changes while minimizing the risk to streaming services? In this session you will learn the approach that the Node platform team took to answer those questions and how it enables them to move faster without breaking things.
