Building applications with Node.js

The Node.js reference architecture is being actively maintained by those within Red Hat and IBM who are engaged in the Node.js community, provide consulting advice and development related to Node.js for customers or have large-scale Node.js deployments.

The goal of the Node.js reference architecture is to present the team's "opinion" on what components our developers and internal teams should use when building Node.js applications and guidance for how to be successful in production with those components.

The components in this architecture are what we recommend to help internal and external customers get started based on our experience. Other components may be equally good, but these are the ones we know best.
