Walmart: Black Friday with Server Side Rendering

[kpdecker]

I'd like to do a run down of what happens this Black Friday for Walmart as this year will be our first running our server side rendering platform, Fruit Loops and Hapi under load.

I plan to cover:

• The prep work that we did
• Some of the key changes we had to make to optimize the codebase for client vs. server rendering concerns.
• Some of the pitfalls that can occur when doing CPU-heavy tasks on Node at scale
• A postmortem on how we performed on this coming Black Friday. The content here will be a surprise even to myself.
