Is nodejs solid/stable enough for production?

PayPal, Walmart and Ebay and a lot of other companies seem to think so. http://nodejs.org/industry/

This video about how 100% of Walmart's mobile Black Friday ecommerce was handled 100% by Node on "the equivalent of two CPUs and 30 gigs of RAM" is pretty convincing.

I have recently found out that some packages can cause nodejs to crash (https://github.com/joyent/libuv/issues/1204) but that was a bit odd case (making IPC via D-Bus) so I personally consider it to be unstable. I have not tested it under load you describe but these crashes were more than enough.
