Looks really cool, but I wouldn't go so far as to classify NodeJS as a "toy" solution. Using your definition, Sinatra is a "toy" solution, as is default PHP.

None of those have "deployment processes, multi version processes, system setup, server tuning, database scaling, backup processes, security policies, monitoring, profiling, admin console etc, etc." baked in either.
- gmosx 16y agoOk, it was a 'play' of words. I wanted to point out that after you put 90% of the effort to create an application you need to put 90% effort to actually deploy it in production. Google App Engine helps here. But the fact that AppengineJS (and Rhino/RingoJS that powers it) runs on GAE is a distinctive advantage IMO.
