What technology did you use to build it? Or generate the PDF that fast?

It's built on node.js, there's a great command line tool called wkhtmltopdf:

I have an invoicing pipeline in the form of a Python command-line "wizard", which is effectively in interactive form, which then fills a restructured text document, which gets turned into HTML before becoming a PDF via wkhtml2pdf. However, wkhtml2pdf is kind of CPU hungry and not that fast. How did you make that scale?
