Node.js and MongoDB in the wild

Both Node.js and MongoDB are extremely popular and active in the development community. This is true for enterprises as well. Some of the biggest names in the Fortune 500 space have fully embraced Node.js to power their web applications.
This is due in large part to the asynchronous nature of Node.js, which makes it a great alternative for high traffic, high I/O applications such as e-commerce websites and mobile applications.

Here's just a small list of some big companies that are working with Node.js:

PayPal
LinkedIn
eBay
Walmart
Yahoo!
Microsoft
Dow Jones
Uber
New York Times

MongoDB's use in the enterprise sector is equally as impressive and widespread, with an increasing number of companies adopting the leading NoSQL database server. Here's just a small list of some big companies that are working with MongoDB:

Cisco
Craigslist Inc.
Forbes
FourSquare
Intuit
McAfee
MTV
MetLife
Shutterfly
Under Armour
