I think we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Please excuse me for drawing this discussion out if it's tedious for you.
What specifically do we disagree about, from your perspective?
I've made assertions about walmart.com relying on Apache, IIS, Java web
services, IBM i back-end database services. I've express something about
the scope of those services. But I've never disagreed with your assertions
about Walmart's use of Node and React to implement some dynamic aspects of
their e-commerce UI.
I've asserted that Walmart's e-commerce operations entails hundreds, or
thousands of servers across the globe, which are often rented from 3rd
party PAAS providers. My understanding is that they route client traffic to
servers that are located close to clients. I've been attempting to expand
your understanding of the type of processing performed by walmart.com,
about how the pieces fit together, their relevance, and how Node fits into
the overall landscape.
Is that what you disagree with me about?
I've indicated that I disagree with your assertion that Walmart "quit"
Java. It appears that we may disagree about Node playing a comparatively
small role, given the overall functional scope of Walmart's e-commerce and
line-of-business applications.
From a functional perspective, all we know is that Walmart has implemented
a handful of e-commerce functions that generate the UI for things such as
"add to cart" and "checkout". Do you believe they are doing more than that
with Node?
