What I Learned Building

I've written about JS modules in the past.

While I think OP's link is quite informative, I think it suffers from the same oversight as most others on this topic has - confusing JS modules with Web components.

The JS world is split in 2 right now - client and server - for good reason because they are 2 very different domains with very different requirements. While a node package will work just fine by itself on the server, reusable code written for the browser usually doesn't work on its own. Some will require the window/document/location/whatever host object to be present, while others, mostly UI components, have to rely on other things like CSS and some minimal markup to work. Guess what? Most reusable browser code is NOT a JS module, they are Web components. As such, no pure JS solution with solve the dependency management problem on the browser. A proper solution must be able to package up different kinds of resources that constitute a whole Web component nicely for consumption. Having the One True Way to manage JS dependency is just a small part of it, in which any solution will do (tho I agree with the article OP linked to suggests, CommonJS style is the more tasteful choice for now before ES6 lands).

As far as I know, Browserify, Ender and Bower fail at the above totally, utterly, completely. Only Component and Volo seem to be on the right track as the moment I think.

Since you brought up Amazon, I thought I would share Andy Dunn's (Founder of Bonobos) article on competing with Amazon. https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/d233f02d52a5 The article concludes that at some point you are inevitably going to go head-to-head with Amazon and their business already has scale to take advantage of many opportunities. Where they are weak or have chinks in their armor, they have made great acquisitions in terms of functions (e.g. customer service via Zappos) and verticals (e.g. baby products via Diapers.com/6pm via female accessories, etc.).

Elasticsearch or Solr would be better than Mongodb for Logs.

Hell if you actually care about your log and want to search it use Solr or Elasticsearch NOT Mongodb.

If you want to store even more data just use Cassandra and index it with Solr or Elasticsearch.

Cassandra have faster write than read, it's perfect for logs.

You can decentralize logging system too, there are architecture layout out there with elasticsearch and such (example: https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/e855bc08975d).

MongoDB is a poor choice, in general for anything in my personal opinion.

This is a win for us all, for sure!
