It controls serving of probably more than 50% of world smartphone to internet data traffic. That is pretty successful.

It handles tens of billions of messages per day for Whatsapp, that is successful.

Riak and RabbitMQ handle a lot of data and messages for many companies.

Ejabberd and derivatives are probably the default enterprise chat/XMPP backends.

If anything one can argue it is more successful than any of those technologies.

What are node's success stories? Paypal, Walmart, New York times. I haven't been following but those are ones I remember using it.
