Pretty much the same case here, I've abandoned LAMP stack completely. There's no need anymore, I am tired of having to google how to setup Apache config on some esoteric distro to see it fail when traffic spikes, I am not getting the best bang for the buck but with NodeJS, everything is so much easier.

(Though, of course, there are plenty of other alternatives to LAMP -- I find Nginx, Postgres, and Ruby or Python preferable in pretty much every way).

  I think having NodeJS serve up static content is a waste of time, and that's not its intended use case. So I'm with you. I set my server up with nginx serving up static content, and when an API call is made nginx proxies to my Node app.

    Why is it a waste of time? There are plenty of good solutions now like Hipache.
