" summary

Advocates Node.js for server-side JavaScript, cites PayPal 100% productivity gain and Walmart <1% CPU on Black Friday, and demos a tiny Express app that reads package.json to show Trace (open Beta) and microservice monitoring. Recommends npm init, "use strict", error-first callbacks, JSON.parse inside try/catch, Express error handlers, staying on the latest LTS, weekly dependency updates using ncu (npm-check-updates), unit/integration tests before upgrades, and notes npm publishing policies after the left-pad incident.
