I've been working on my free time with node.js quite heavily, but I really wanted to know how many of you have real projects with node.js that are already deployed and working.

Do node.js reach all your expectations?

Mine is www.parkuik.com, just a wiki-like parking finder with an upcoming cool android app :)

The real-time dashboard for W3Counter runs on node.js [1].

I also put together Bookmarkly [2] when I was learning Backbone.js; the server-side of it is node.js. The code's on github [3].

I have a number of webservesr running on my host, each listening on 127.0.0.1 - this means I get security, as each webserver is running under its own UID.

Rather than using apache + mod_proxy to route incoming requests I wrote a HTTP reverse-proxy using node:

Otherwise I wrote a deamon which listens for UDP messages and inserts them into a redis set. This allows me to send messages like "User logged in", "User logged out", and display them in real-time for a dashboard. The following article was written to demonstrate the concept:
