Big Node Sites

[Zac Tolley]

Anyone know of any large scale heavy traffic high profile web sites using NodeJS, preferably in the UK?

I ask as I'm about to put live a site for a very high profile company and it should be receiving quite a lot of traffic

There was similar question on Quora a couple of years ago http://www.quora.com/Node-js/What-companies-are-using-Node-js-in-production. So you could read the answers by engineers from PayPal, Yahoo, Yandex and etc.

I was thinking about this so decided to count the ones I know. I counted 26 sites that are well-known brands that I’m certain have large scale production traffic on their Node.js deployments. There are surely more that have not revealed themselves either publicly or privately to us at SL. There are also some lesser-known organizations and startups with big scale and plenty of well-known companies with modest scale.

It would be great for the whole community if more of those people working at scale or at well-known organizations would make their stories public. It would help the many developers trying to get approval to use Node at their organization who are faced with “but only Paypal, Walmart Labs & Yahoo use Node” from their coworkers. 

Recently I looked up a bunch of the companies I know are using Node to see if they’d publicly disclosed it anywhere. Sometimes they’ll have a job posting or it’ll be on someone’s resume. For example, one can find references to Siemens, Dell, Sony & Citi this way. If one is trying to convince a more traditional group outside of silicon valley, those kinds of names can help it feel more safe than quoting Groupon, Voxer & eBay. There are plenty plenty more.

You can add Brightcove to any such list.  It's public knowledge in various job postings, although I don't think we've specified anywhere which projects are using it.  There's quite a few.  The one I work on is our new player service backend, powered by Video.js on the client side and using Node.js for its backend API services.  Brightcove might be a helpful reference for a variety of media and marketing companies, because we have many of them as customers: https://www.brightcove.com/en/customers

@Zac:

While we (Tinder) are not hosted in the UK- we certainly do a lot of traffic there :)

Microsoft runs node in production at large scale for several services. VS Online and Azure Mobile Services are two very public examples.
