A Joyent Case Study
Nodejitsu is a global Platform-as-a-Service built entirely on Node.js that simplifies deployment for developers so they don't have to worry about operating systems or stacks. As Nodejitsu scaled, it needed a cloud partner with deep Node.js expertise, easy account management, better performance at low price points, and high reliability to support rapid customer growth.
Nodejitsu chose Joyent for its SmartOS platform and Node.js-savvy team, gaining an OS optimized for cloud workloads, powerful performance features (CPU/RAM “zones” with burst capability), and deep visibility via DTrace. The move cut server provisioning from as long as 10 minutes to as little as 30 seconds and delivered improved stability, scalability, and faster time-to-market for developers.
