I've watched a presentation where (I think) Linkedin talked about their use of node.js. They used it as an API Gateway (http://microservices.io/patterns/apigateway.html). The main requirements for this are making a lot of service calls quickly and transforming several JSON documents into a single JSON response. Node.js is actually pretty reasonable for this.
