Wow, didn't realize I was a designer. Could've sworn I'd gotten that degree in CS.
If using Node on your backend is causing "millions per year" your app is too complicated for it to be written in Node. You're trying to street race in a smart car. Javascript is a silly language, sure, but you can't escape it on the front-end and using it on the backend when you can has some pretty undeniable advantages.
