Nodejitsu is incredibly unreliable. I use them only because they are so cheap and quick. Anything of value should not be hosted on Nodejitsu. This disappoints me greatly as Nodejitsu is a company i want to love.
- Deployments often fail with a nonspecific 500 error. I'd say near 50% of my deploys end up failing because of this.
- Downtime occurs at random times. It's usually just a few minutes (maybe 10)
- In the past I've had problems with certain routes always returning 500 errors when loaded in groups, but not alone. This problem hasn't happened for a while.
- The admin panel is at its best only "kind of" responsive. Most of the time it's a complete mystery as to whether commands issued there ever make it out to your instance(s).
