Platformatic Watt is an open-source Node.js application server that runs any Node.js application (in any framework) inside worker threads, providing multi-core scaling, auto-healing, and built-in observability. It is a monorepo of composable tools for building, running, and orchestrating HTTP services, API gateways, and frontends on a single runtime.

Use cases

• run my nodejs app across multiple cpu cores
• scale a node.js application server in kubernetes
• add observability and health checks to node services
• consolidate microservices and bffs into one process
• build rest and graphql apis with fastify
• auto-restart crashed node workers without downtime
• reduce p95 latency for a single-threaded node app

When to choose

• you run Node.js services in containers and need multi-core utilization and stability
• you want out-of-the-box logging, metrics, tracing, and profiling outside your app process
• you want to compose HTTP services, API gateways, and frontends into one runtime

When to avoid

• you need a runtime outside the Node.js ecosystem
• your app is a simple low-traffic service where a plain process manager suffices
• you require a fully managed platform rather than self-operated open-source tooling
