Use Node.js for Mobile Services
summary
Built a Node.js reverse proxy called the secure browser that terminates SSL at a gateway, brokers OAuth2 and NTLM dances, and fetches enterprise pages for mobile clients. Implementation uses Happy on Node and load tests with Flood. Performance tops ~500 requests/sec on a large instance but sees single-request latencies up to 30s and 17s at 100 req/s on real iOS networks, so the code works but infrastructure and VM/network constraints become the real bottlenecks.
