I'll chime in here although I might be a bit biased ( co-founder of Nodejitsu).
I'm always glad to see more attention to node.js, but it's a bit discouraging to see something like this with no substance to back it up.
The Nodejitsu team has been working on our node.js platform as a service for a while now, and we've released a bunch of open-source software back to the community along the way.
I'd much rather have access to a well structured library (node.js) where sockets and http are first class citizens, opposed to being forced into a solution or having to write C or bash.
Haven't seen you online in a while, let's get you into the beta! I sent you a message on github, hit me back.
