If its free, who is footing the EC2 bill? Which gives me the idea: it'd be cool to have a service like this and have it use a user-provided AWS account. 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. Just a thought...

Logo and company name seems very similar to http://www.nodejitsu.com It's also curious NodeFu seem to be using some of Nodejitsu's open-source offerings to make this work. ( https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy and https://github.com/indexzero/forever ). Are NodeFu and Nodejitsu the same company?

Heroku does have experimental Node support if anyone is interested: http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2010/9/20/an_update_on_herok... And Joyent's Node service is pretty good too: https://no.de/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

NodeFu is not a company but rather an open source project. It does use the http-proxy module - https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy

I'm even more confused now. Is NodeFu the open-source offering for Nodejitsu? If NodeFu isn't a company, how can it be the "heroku for node.js".
