I did a similar thing by rewriting the entire Renaissance Framework server-side code in node.js. It is quite neat - each RPGLE server program can be replaced by a node.js module that is simply "require"ed at run-time. The developers (all RPG backgrounds) just have to write the server programs as modules based on a boilerplate and it just plugs right in. The client side is identical for the RPG and node instances so nothing to learn. It can use any database supported by the Waterline ORM and uses Redis for session data and to replace data queues.

Subject: [WEB400] powerEXT for node.js
Hi all,
I started testing node.js like anyone else but couldn’t figure out how to manage a whole application, node.js seems to be very nerdy where everybody is chasing what NPM’s to use but I found very few descriptions on how to handle node.js in a production environment and how to chop up code in small Apps like I know it from ILE CGI on IBM i.
So I decided to build my own ‘package’ based on the experience from CGIDEV2 and powerEXT Core that both hide the complexity of handle HTTP requests in and out and complex string operations.
The result can be read about here
http://powerext.com/core.htm
I will make it available for download as soon I have testet the ‘package’
on IBM i and made a simple installation procedure for I - but my plan is that it should run as a base environment on any platform that runs node.js and it is therefore developed on a Windows PC.
Feel free to comment …
