I wonder if all Heroku addons - that are currently working for Rails - will work for Node.js once the support is there?
And what is the ETA for the launch of Node.js support?

Reset to default 6Node.js is now officially supported on Heroku.
Several addons currently require specific ruby gems to be installed so I think Node.js will have its own separate set of addons.
As for launch, to my knowledge there is no ETA yet.
Whether or not an addon will work with node is going to specific to the addon itself, probably whether the addon requires a Ruby lib to work.
I'm currently using Loggly, RedisToGo, Mongolab, and RabbitMQ via Addons all with node.
It is supported by CEDAR stack on heroku
All you have to do is put into .gitignore node_modules directory and create Procfile eg.
web: node web.js
This is just a mand to startup your application.
Important thing is that you should layout your app as node_module i wrote a blog post about it http://no-fucking-idea./blog/2012/04/23/building-node-dot-js-module-using-npm/ So you can look it up.
url explaining how to deploy is here: https://devcenter.heroku./articles/nodejs
Have fun!
