5. What Nodejitsu is
    it’s a PAAS (acronym that stands for Platform as a Service)
    PAAS (together with IAAS and SAAS) is a type of service model in the cloud
   computing industry
    we make deploying and scaling web applications a breeze
    the end customer doesn’t have to worry about hardware management
   and hosting configuration

6. What’s so special about it?
    it’s the first platform entirely built on and for node.js
    pretty much everything that composes it is open source on Github
    highly community-focused (we love going to and sponsoring confs)
    multiple clouds (Rackspace, Joyent, Azure, ..)

8. The early phases
   the technology wasn’t production ready, first year
   was spent evangelizing node to make sure it
   became more used and mature.
    Nodejitsu is founded
    $ node –v
   v0.2.0
   2010
   2011
   2012/13

9. Private Beta
    Nodejitsu is founded
    $ node –v
   v0.2.0
   2010
   2011
   2012/13
    private beta
    $ node –v
   v0.4.0
   all the libraries were opensourced, distributed and
   maintained in order to make node more
   appealing to coders
   “we first built the ecosystem and then the
   business”

10. Public beta and Individual Plans
     public beta / paid plans
     $ node –v
    v0.6.0-v0.8.0
     Nodejitsu is founded
     $ node –v
    v0.2.0
    2010
    2011
    2012/13
     private beta
     $ node –v
    v0.4.0
    other libraries were opensourced (pkgcloud and
    winstond amongst them) and Continuos
    Deployment with Github integration was added.
    Nodejitsu now hosts open source projects for free
    (https://opensource.jit.su)
