The complexity isn't likely completely free.. but could be incredibly useful for a lot of universal rendering scenarios... the above the fold content loading, and the component render caching server-side is particularly interesting.

Now if Walmart.com just didn't look quite so hideous... but that's another issue...

The tech stack for electrode is definitely interesting, and looking forward to playing around with it.

I hope you like it! I personally think that the above the fold content, server side caching, and redux-router-engine will make a positive impact on the server side rendering react community. We saw HUGE gains in performance using these.

We are working on a blog post that goes through the performance numbers we saw on the live site.

I also think Electrode Explorer will be popular for bigger companies that have many components.

P.S. I'm from the Electrode team.

Thanks for the reply, yeah, from what I've read and seen so far it definitely looks interesting... And seems to resolve a lot of the issues I had very early on with ismorphic^wuniversal rendering back when Yahoo's fluxible app had just come out. The render caching seems very cool as well, making up for the general double-render for fetching data triggered from the component.

Right now at the day job I'm stuck in angular 1.x hell, though my contract is up in a couple weeks and looking for something in the React space again. Too much angular work in Phoenix to avoid completely though.

Aside: wish I could get a hold of a hiring manager there if you have space for new people, have never even gotten a callback from walmart labs, and would love to work for your org.

Your contact information is in your HN profile, I'll have our recruiters ping you with the opportunities we have available @WalmartLabs.

Added more contact info, thanks... I'm @tracker1 on github and npm as well.
