a few people and i spend our time working on such a framework:
https://github.com/bigcompany/big/ and
https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/383-big. the original creator
of the project was behind the late hook.io
(https://npmjs.org/package/hook.io) which had a lot of features for
running distributed nodes of a single app, so once we have the core
features implemented in big we will surely finish implementing the
distributed features. we're not yet ready for production so give us at
least half a year, maybe a year, maybe more. hopefully sooner i'll be
able to release some alpha apps like https://github.com/ahdinosaur/bigspace.

cheers,
dinosaur
