depending on your node.js version. nodejs has a cluster mode. before that tools like pm2 had cluster | loadbalancing modes. But yeah you can easily run as many instances of the node.js app on your 60 virtual cores. Let node use half of those. Then the rest for db, monitoring. Then have a load balance ie nginx. --Edit also node.js now has Workers e.g for instances where you need to do CPU bound work. Remember node.js is really fast. most apps out there won't be able to use it to the max.
