Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the whole point of Node.js was not to meltdown.

Are there some recommend resources I could learn more from about the out of the box scaling vs tactics and strategies that benefit growth? I love learning how this problem is tackled anywhere. :)

There's only so much load any piece of software running on a given and finished set of resources can handle properly... Once limits are reached, things will misbehave.

I agree completely, have lots of experience in complex hosting.

With all software having it's limits (assuming hw is relative) has a starting and ending point of when you need to start tweaking it, and in what direction. I was hoping to read more about that.
