I have worked with a few customers on large and small projects that
interface with MS, Google, Paypal, Braintree, Amazon, Magento, etc.

What is used in the background for a specific task is transparent. Even
with CGI. The "company x uses node" is a bit deceiving. It's just echoed
by those pushing node as they end all solution. They did it with Java as
well. (Billions of devices use Java!)

I could just as easily list 100 companies, just as big, that use RPG. Does
that make RPG "better"? No.

Can you tell viewing a web page, or using a web services what is used in
the background (CGI or otherwise)? No. Should you care? No.

And I can't say I'm impressed at all with the services we've interfaced
with, especially for the sandboxes (minus Google, they're actually the best
service provider I've worked with, even the sandbox environments).

If it were that scalable you would hope for much better performance in a
sandbox environment that what I've experienced with the very very large
application providers.
