I worked in PayPal's mobile team for a few months last year (acqui-hire). I can confirm that as of two years ago, everything you said is true, but as of last year the groundwork was laid for everything in this article being true today.

I used the PayPal Node stuff in its infancy (i.e., before anything was working). At that point it was a thirdhand tarball being passed around. Even in its preliminary state it was about 500% less shitty than using the old stuff (Sparta, JSP, etc).

I am glad to see that the (small, relatively insulated) team could deliver. I expect this migration will make many PP engineers obsolete, but I don't have a problem with that.

Is there anywhere I can read about the technologies that PayPal is using in production ?

New hire orientation!

Seriously though, I doubt it. Most of it is very in-house.
