Walmart must be considered a small corporation then. Good to know.

Help us out, those of us who remain unenlightened:

1.which app(s) did Walmart build with nothing but Node on the back end?

2.How has it worked out? Are they happy with that software?

3. Any internal plans to rebuild with something else, or are they going to use Node in even more places in the near future?

Honest questions.

A good place to start is this quora link[1] that has many further links to read.

That Quora post perfectly illustrates my confusion with all the claims about Node: every example of Node usage there is 3 to 5 years old, as far as I can tell.

I'm really interested in what large-scale production apps, commercial or in-house enterprise, are currently using Node on the server? For sure, not just misinterpretation and wishful thinking?
