Did you find alternatives in Node.js ?

For my Chat app, i use PHP to authorize, store the sent messages in MongoDB and push to APE Server.
I'm not happy with this solution : I'd like to get rid of PHP in this workflow.
But since I use MongoDB to store messages, I can't stick to APE Server.

Did you heard or use a Node.js or Ruby alternative to APE-Server (almost as easy and complete) ?

I have deprecated Ape for favor of NODE.JS and socket.io which its a very stable and works with thousand of connections.. Low memory consumption and scalability..
Being sockets there main protocol used it falls back to other methods like json-p or others..
I am using it with node-mysql , no PHP at all involved , save messages to mysql and retrieve them when user connects so they have history...

I am so happy with it can't complain at all.. (its being actively maintained Guillermo Rauch) new version 1.0 is coming and is time to update..

regards.

Thanks UTAN,

There's also Socks.js, which should be compared to Engine.io (Socket.io is built on top of Engine.io)
More informations on : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sockjs/WSIdcY14ciI

But yes, Socket.io seems to be the easiest solution.
By easy, I mean high level abstraction, which is fine by me to start a business.

Yeah, I am thinking in refactoring my app to use engine.io but I want it to mature more so to speak.. beside even updating to latest socket.io my current code should be compatible so I am not much in a rush to update and start using engine.io

Was hard to switch from Ape to Node because Ape taught me lots of event driving way to think...

Since you guys are considering alternative based on the node.js runtime, faye should be considered
