Node.js Development Services

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
