Node.js on multi-core machines

Question

Node.js looks interesting, BUT I must miss something - isn\'t Node.js tuned only to run on a single process and thread?

Then how does it scale for m

Answer 1

Multi-node harnesses all the cores that you may have.
Have a look at http://github.com/kriszyp/multi-node.

For simpler needs, you can start up multiple copies of node on different port numbers and put a load balancer in front of them.
