I still hesitate to even consider deploying rails or node.js applications.
It's just too many things to learn and keep up to date with.
Of course if you already develop in rails or node.js or run some other services already that might not be an issue.
But to me - unless it is apt-gettable - a standalone binary (typical go), war or jar file has a huge advantage.
