At the moment, I need to write a backend for an online game written in C ++, due to the fact that there are currently no official client libraries for Netty to work with pluses, I think to take Node.Js. Tell me, is Node.Js suitable for writing a game server? the server must process requests of about 2000 clients, is it possible to squeeze more out of the node?

2000 is not much. If you are a little versed in the development of scalable services, it is not a problem to write such a backend on a node.

This is generally a ridiculous figure that you can get on a VPS or even check on your laptop. habrahabr.ru/post/123154 And I squeezed out more than a million on a physical computer with a 40-core xeon with 256 memory.

You can squeeze more, but the link to Alexander Shtuchkin's experiment is a bit incorrect.
He had just a million simultaneous connections, one-time. This is not the same as maintaining a connection of a million clients in real time.
If you don't have a realtime MMO, there is no problem at all.

If you're good at Node, why not?
In addition, projects on it scale well.
