Small NodeJS stuff runs on the same droplet, while more extensive stuff needs a dedicated one, so it doesn't compete for resources. I do NodeJS almost exclusively, and you can easily manage Node apps with PM2, etc.
I mean, it's not really advisable to run some mission critical stuff on the same droplet as everything else. If shit hits the fan, you better have hourly backups at hand.
