The creator of Node.js said it best himself, that his afraid people associate Node.js with scalability out of the box due to the single threaded asynchronous nature, that there exists something magical about it that would suddenly make your app scalable because it's riddled with async code.
I now use Flask and Python instead of Node.js and it's a total pain reliever. Not having to deal with Javascript is a win on the server side (JS on client side is enough) and the python stack is good enough to handle every bit of Node.js
Truth is, Node.js is in a bubble. I find it that even people who have never programmed before insisting that their new website be written in Node.js.... It reminded me of the dot com bubble, when your grandma would explain to you her rationale for buying dot com stocks (they had no idea).
