We have been experimenting with using Realm as the backing database for our Express based website. Not something we have been ready to put into production yet, but the dev experience of having direct access to all your objects right there in node with no networking overhead has sure been amazing.

That is really cool! We definitely see a lot of potential in this use-case, especially at scale. For example, you could use the Realm Object Server to synchronize the Realms used in the web server. If you need several servers, all the state coordination is then handled for you. Could be quite helpful, especially if the web servers are wrapped in containers.
