> Node.js sounds like a liability in this case.

that depends on what types of dependencies you're talking about

if you're talking about upstream servers/services, yep absolutely

but node.js dependencies (as in, libraries and packages), don't magically update by themselves. there's no reason node.js is a liability here unless you coordinate updating your service and status page dependencies at exactly the same time (which seems.. idiotic?)
