Comment on Help Scale NPM

Comments

But I thought node was web scale.

Edit: Yep that was a lame joke. Anyhow, take my money, I love NPM and use it daily.

Well, benchmarks show it's not more webscale than an plain old JEE app , or a go app or even javascript on the JVM ( http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ ). By the way java 8 comes with a new js engine i believe,might be interesting to see if node get ported to the jvm with it.

Yes, it will be able to serve more concurrent requests than your typical python/ruby/php app.

But npm doesnt even seem to run on node, looks like it is a couch app. I dont know how it performs.
