History
Nodejitsu was founded in by Charlie Robbins, Marak Squires, and Paolo Fragomeni. Coined "the original Node.js platform as a service", Nodejitsu partnered with Joyent on. Joyent took a shot at a Node.js platform as a service previously. As of, Joyent no longer offers the No.de platform as a service, and instead recommends Nodejitsu.On May 22, 2013, Nodejitsu acquired IrisCouch. The IrisCouch team has merged with the Nodejitsu team during this acquisition, introducing Jeff Jackson as the new chief operations officer and Jason Smith as the new chief technical officer. IrisCouch will also be blended into Nodejitsu's current platform to provide an all-in-one platform for deploying Node.js applications, as well as provisioning CouchDB and Redis databases. This also means that IrisNPM will be shut down and merged into Nodejitsu's platform. Nodejitsu will still be allowing private NPM repositories, but there is not a pricing model for these databases or NPM repositories yet.
On June 4 and 5, 2013, Nodejitsu was featured in The New York Times and TechCrunch for being one of the first companies that has been invested in by Bloomberg Beta, a new $75 million start-up investment fund headed by former IGN executive Roy Bahat.
In February 2015, Nodejitsu announced that they have been acquired by GoDaddy and will be exiting the PaaS business.
