Heroku does have experimental Node support if anyone is interested:<p><a href="http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2010/9/20/an_update_on_heroku_node_js_support/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2010/9/20/an_update_on_herok...</a><p>And Joyent's Node service is pretty good too:<p><a href="https://no.de/" rel="nofollow">https://no.de/</a>
Yea, I got tired of waiting for Heroku and Joyent invitations so I created NodeFu and open sourced it so that others could have fun too! The repo is at <a href="http://github.com/chrismatthieu/nodefu" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/chrismatthieu/nodefu</a>
If its free, who is footing the EC2 bill?<p>Which gives me the idea: it'd be cool to have a service like this and have it use a user-provided AWS account.<p>So you could use a service like this to automatically manage the EC2 instances, and then if you need to take control to expand your instances' functionality you just stop using the service.<p>Just a thought...
Logo and company name seems very similar to <a href="http://www.nodejitsu.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.nodejitsu.com</a> It's also curious NodeFu seem to be using some of Nodejitsu's open-source offerings to make this work. ( <a href="https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy</a> and <a href="https://github.com/indexzero/forever" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/indexzero/forever</a> ).<p>Are NodeFu and Nodejitsu the same company?
New blog post just released: NodeFu - Free Hosting of Your Node.JS Apps In The Cloud! <a href="http://t.co/iHIuTtb" rel="nofollow">http://t.co/iHIuTtb</a> < It's a step-by-step example for deploying a @Tropo node.js communications application on NodeFu!
NodeFu has just surpassed 150 hosted node.js applications since the launch on yesterday - <a href="http://nodefu.com/status" rel="nofollow">http://nodefu.com/status</a>
Has anything of significance actually been developed on Node yet? Seems like there is a lot of excitement about it (like the early Rails days), but I haven't seen any sites announcing they're written in it.
It looks like this story made it to Mashable! <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/chrismatthieu/status/27435153945010176" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/#!/chrismatthieu/status/27435153945010176</a>
New NodeFu blog post (Node.js Coming of Age) spotted at <a href="http://www.voiceingov.org/blog/?p=2228" rel="nofollow">http://www.voiceingov.org/blog/?p=2228</a>
I like the name... nothing wrong with it.<p>And congrats for the initiative !<p>Learning some Ruby now but next step is Node.js, then I will try it out.
