But who deploys node in a single instance? There's documentation all over the place which tells you how to load balance over several instances - and it's easy to do so. This is my point, the node is cancer article was pure troll.
I still think you may not understand what modern schedulers end up doing here.
Node isn't a bad technology and I don't hate it. Well, I personally hate working in the event-loop paradigm (due to abundant experience) but that's no discredit to Node, which simply is what it is. The hype is toxic. The hype is basically full of flat-out lies. It teaches people that the state-of-the-art as of 1990 or so is the state of the art today. The hype claims Node is blazing a new path in the field of concurrency, when in fact it's traveling a 4-lane highway with fast food and hotels, while putting blindfolds on its partisans to hide them from the fact they're actually smack dab in the middle of civilization.
