20 HAPI Minutes
summary
Walmart builds a Node layer over hundreds of legacy Java SOAP endpoints to power mobile apps, gets it into production with 4–6 ms latency, and solves distribution, deployment and testing by turning services into NPM-backed modules. The team uses happy plugin architecture to attach endpoints to labeled servers and ships apps using just package.json and config.json, enabling fast, distributed deployments, configurable test VMs, and measurable production analytics.
