SATURN 2018

PayPal Checkout recently adopted a platform-centric approach and started re-architecting its web platform to become more robust, scalable and performant. At the same time, it ensured that development teams can iterate quickly over features. Along the way, we learned some handy architectural patterns that allow for large-scale platform design and maximum code reuse.
This talk will broadly cover state management, caching and performance optimizations, building a flexible and scalable web server atop microservices, and discipline and DevOps practices that allow multiple teams to iterate quickly on the full-stack codebase.
