Comment on Walmart Node.js Memory Leak

Comments

I assume that they can restart the server at intervals or use load balancing. A few months of developer timer for something like this seems excessive unless he was working on something else as well.

As a former software engineer at Walmart I can tell you that a few months for something like that is nothing to them. They employ several thousand devs at the home office. Having one of them focus on a bug like this isn't an issue in terms of time or money. In their minds its worth it given the scale of the enterprise.
