So, Apigee had this exact service. They did something pretty cool, it seems they implemented nearly all (!) of the Nodejs APIs in a JVM variant, then designed them to run on demand [0]. I actually ported an Express app to Apigee's service, to run webhooks and ETL. It worked flawlessly. The one downside was that they kept their own internal registry of compatible packages and there was no way they could keep up with the Nodejs ecosystem even with few holes in their API. I still have a ton of hope that Google does something smart with this, I actually wanted to pay Apigee for their service, but their pricing started at an Enterprise tier and none of my projects made it that far.... yet. Something to think about. [0]: http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/overview-nodejs-apigee-edge http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/overview-nodejs-...
