online Node.js server

Question

Is Node.js mature enough to make entire web applications in it? I mean entirely in Node.js. I read somewhere that for some reason there should be (for example) nginx behind

Answer 1

in my opinion this isnt true anymore. you can do two things:

1. use script like "forever" to monitor your node instance.

2. use this: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.12/api/process.html#event_uncaughtException_ to catch all exceptions that are not catched earlier
