We've been using Node at Factual since 3.x (we used to use Ruby/Sinatra). Our node stack (minus the data store) can push about 800 req/sec on an EC2 medium. After one small hitch early on (a slow socket leak when making client requests), its been rock solid. The community and support, while not as vast as Ruby's, has been awesome and growing very rapidly.
Without getting into too much detail about trade-offs: We actually use RoR for a lot of our internal CRUD; Rails is just great these kinds of things. For your app, if you need a lot of concurrency, quick response times and need to play tricks like chatting and other socket.io-ish things, I would say that Node is a compelling choice. -Jeff On Wednesday, August 22, 2012 10:42:00 PM UTC-7, Hitesh Joshi wrote: > > I know this question have been asked many times, but my concern is , Is > nodejs ready for Heavy programming networking applications?
