Node.js Development Services

End-to-end Node.js solutions from API development to enterprise-scale platforms

Custom Node.js Backend Development

We build Node.js backends from scratch using Express.js, NestJS, or Fastify—whatever fits your project. Scalable architecture designed for your specific business logic, not generic templates.

Node.js API Development

REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and WebSocket servers built with proper documentation, versioning, and rate limiting. APIs your frontend team will actually enjoy working with.

Real-Time Application Development

Chat systems, live notifications, collaborative tools, multiplayer games. Socket.io and WebSocket-based backends handling thousands of concurrent connections.

Express.js Development Services

Lean, fast APIs with Express.js when you need full control. Custom middleware, authentication flows, and integrations built exactly how you need them.

NestJS Development Services

Enterprise-grade Node.js with NestJS. TypeScript-first architecture, dependency injection, and modular design for complex applications that need structure.

Node.js Microservices Architecture

Breaking monoliths into Node.js microservices that scale independently. Docker, Kubernetes, service discovery, and event-driven communication.

Node.js Performance Optimization

V8 profiling, event loop optimization, memory leak fixes, cluster mode setup. We've made Node.js apps 10x faster by fixing what others missed.

Node.js Consulting & Audits

Not sure if Node.js is right for your project? Need a code audit? We review your architecture, identify bottlenecks, and give you a roadmap—whether you hire us or not.

Why Hire Us for Node.js Development

8+ Years of Node.js Production Experience

We've been shipping Node.js since 2016. Rocket League Garage (5M+ users), fintech platforms, healthcare apps—real production systems we still maintain today.

Deep Express.js & NestJS Expertise

We know when to use Express for lean control and when NestJS structure pays off. Plus Fastify, Koa, and the rest of the ecosystem when they're the right fit.

Full-Stack JavaScript Team

Same team handles React, React Native, and Node.js. APIs designed with frontend needs in mind from day one. No handoff gaps between contractors.

Performance-First Approach

We profile, optimize, and load test. Event loop monitoring, memory profiling, V8 optimization. We've made Node.js apps handle 10x more traffic without new servers.

DevOps Included

AWS/GCP deployment, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines—all included. Automated deployments and monitoring from day one, not afterthoughts.

Long-Term Partnership

80% of clients stay with us after launch. We maintain, optimize, and iterate. Your Node.js app is a partnership, not a one-time project.

Why Choose Node.js for Your Backend

Node.js powers Netflix, LinkedIn, Uber, and PayPal. Here's why it might be right for you:

Node.js handles thousands of concurrent connections with its non-blocking I/O model. Perfect for real-time apps, APIs with high traffic, and microservices architectures that need to scale horizontally.

Same language on frontend and backend means shared code, shared knowledge, and faster development. Your React or Vue developers can understand and contribute to the backend.

NPM has 2M+ packages. Need authentication? Passport.js. Database ORM? Prisma, Sequelize, TypeORM. Whatever you're building, there's battle-tested tooling available.

WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, and Socket.io are first-class citizens in Node.js. If your app needs live updates, notifications, or real-time sync, Node.js is the natural choice.

Hot reloading, quick iterations, and a huge talent pool. Node.js projects typically ship faster than equivalent Java or .NET projects without sacrificing quality.

Fewer servers needed for the same workload compared to traditional backends. Plus, finding Node.js developers is easier and often more affordable than specialists in other stacks.

FaQ

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that lets you run JavaScript on the server. It's known for handling many concurrent connections efficiently, making it ideal for real-time apps, APIs, and microservices. Companies like Netflix, LinkedIn, and PayPal use Node.js because it's fast, scalable, and lets teams use JavaScript across the entire stack.

Express.js is great for lean APIs where you want full control and minimal overhead. NestJS is better for enterprise applications with complex business logic—it provides structure, TypeScript support, and dependency injection out of the box. We often recommend Express for MVPs and simpler services, NestJS for larger applications with growing teams.

Yes, we do Node.js migrations regularly. We typically use a strangler fig approach—building new features in Node.js while gradually migrating existing functionality. This avoids risky big-bang rewrites and lets you see value incrementally.

Security is built into our process: input validation, SQL injection prevention, proper authentication (JWT, OAuth), rate limiting, dependency scanning, and OWASP Top 10 coverage. For sensitive applications, we conduct security audits before launch and implement additional measures like encryption at rest and in transit.

Yes, we offer staff augmentation where our developers embed in your team. They join your Slack, follow your processes, and attend your standups. It's like hiring, but faster and without the long-term commitment.

Yes, we're a full-stack team. The same developers who build your Node.js backend also work with React, Next.js, and React Native. This means APIs designed with actual frontend requirements in mind—no disconnected contractors throwing work over the wall.

A Node.js MVP typically costs $10,000-$25,000 for a 4-8 week project. Production-ready backends with proper architecture run $25,000-$60,000. Enterprise projects with microservices, compliance requirements, or legacy migration are custom-quoted based on scope. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your specific requirements.

Yes. Netflix, LinkedIn, Uber, and PayPal all use Node.js at massive scale. The key is proper architecture—clustering for multi-core utilization, caching strategies, database optimization, and horizontal scaling. We've built Node.js backends handling millions of users with 99.9% uptime.

Absolutely. We offer architecture reviews, code audits, and technical consulting. You'll get a detailed report with recommendations you can implement yourself or hire us to execute. Many clients start with consulting before committing to a development engagement.

PostgreSQL is our default for relational data—it's robust, well-supported, and scales well. MongoDB for document-oriented data or when schema flexibility matters. Redis for caching and real-time features. We choose based on your data patterns, not ideology.

We can typically start within 2 weeks. After an initial discovery call, we match you with developers who have relevant experience. You interview them, we kick off a 14-day trial, and if you're not satisfied, you pay nothing.

Real-time applications (chat, notifications, collaborative tools), high-traffic APIs, SaaS platforms, fintech backends, and gaming services. Our Rocket League Garage project handles 5M+ monthly users with real-time trading features—that's the kind of scale and complexity we're comfortable with.
