Node.js

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

With Getup you can easily deploy and run Node.js applications using your favorite framework and databases. Auto-Scale to millions of users without breaking a sweat about server setup and administration. Forget about servers and focus on the code.

Simplify the lifecycle

Deploying Node.js application with MySQL is as easy as it can be:

$ rhc app-create App nodejs-0.10 mysql-5.1

The command will create your gear (server), install and configure Node.js, MySQL and git repository on the server. Access your application on the web at http://App-namespace.getup.io - HTTPS works just fine as well, and all applications have a SSL certificate.

Auto scale

What about scale? Don't worry about it, we are specialists in high traffic, simple add the -s parameter when creating your application and voilá - the platform will scale your application.

$ rhc app-create App nodejs-0.10 -s

The scalability is based on simultaneous connections. The platform will add new gears every time your application receives a traffic spike, automatically.
