I thought LinkedIn was using node? Or was that only ever in their mobile app?



That was just the mobile app. It mostly just acted as a gateway to the other backend systems.


It was only the mobile API server. Shameless self promotion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4615429


LinkedIn is a bit scattered when it comes to technology. They also made a big dog and pony show about how the vast majority of their mobile app is built in HTML5, and why that is the best way to do it. A few months later they made a lot of noise about rewriting much of it in native, and why that is the best way to do it. We had an internal debate about whether to use the wrapped web or native, and it was humorous seeing both sides using LinkedIn, and their vigorous arguments, as the foundation of their positions.
