I think this is more reflective of the shift in how code and development teams are being organized rather than JavaScript "eating the world." Now that many shops have separate back-end and front-end focused teams, a lot of API development is moving to node so that the front-end focused JS developers can maintain the APIs they consume themselves. Also, while languages like Java are very good at helping large teams manage equally large codebases, deploying microserves and organizing code into smaller-more self-contained pieces make it easier to use things like javascript for individual services.
