Platform as a Service provider Engine Yard is now offering Node.js on the Engine Yard Cloud. Readers of this blog already know, Node.js is a JavaScript based software development platform that runs in server environments. The Engine Yard Cloud is a highly configurable system allowing deployment of Ruby on Rails, PHP and now Node.js applications. The company claims its system "is optimized for building applications that scale to meet the requirements of startups to large enterprises".
