Technology serving the productSystems and integrations

Node.js for a backend that keeps up with product and operations.

Scalability and development speed

Node.js allows using JavaScript on the server side, which speeds up development and facilitates collaboration between frontend and backend.

Decision

Technology follows the product goal

Proof

5.0 on Google and public case studies

Outcome

A backend matched to your operations and product pace

01 / Fit

Product first. Stack second.

When Node.js is the best choice

Node.js works well in projects requiring high I/O performance and rapid development.

  • REST and GraphQL APIs
  • Real-time apps (WebSockets)
  • Microservices and serverless functions
  • Apps requiring high I/O throughput
  • Projects with JavaScript-knowing team

When to consider alternatives

Node.js has its limitations - in some scenarios other solutions will be a better choice.

  • Apps requiring intensive CPU calculations (better Python/Go)
  • Projects requiring strong typing (better TypeScript + strict mode)

02 / Solution

Architecture and patterns

Node.js offers flexible architecture based on event loop and asynchronicity.

  1. 01

    Express/Fastify

    Frameworks for building API - Express for simplicity, Fastify for performance.

  2. 02

    Microservices

    Division into independent services communicating via API/RabbitMQ/Kafka.

  3. 03

    TypeScript

    Type safety throughout project, better IDE support, easier refactoring.

03 / Quality

Production readiness starts before launch.

Security and quality

Node.js requires conscious security approach - from dependencies to infrastructure.

  • Dependency Security

    npm audit, Snyk, regular updates, minimal dependencies.

  • Input Validation

    Joi/Zod for validation, sanitization, rate limiting, CORS.

  • Authentication

    JWT with refresh tokens, bcrypt for passwords, OAuth2 for SSO.

Performance and maintenance

Node.js offers excellent performance for I/O-bound apps but requires monitoring.

  • Throughput

    Node.js can handle 10k+ concurrent connections thanks to event loop.

  • Monitoring

    APM tools (New Relic, Datadog), logging (Winston, Pino), error tracking (Sentry).

04 / Delivery

How we deliver Node.js projects

Our delivery process is optimized for scalability and quality.

  1. 01

    Architecture Design (1-2 weeks)

    API design, framework selection, database architecture, scaling plan.

  2. 02

    Development (6-16 weeks)

    2-week sprints, TDD, code review, tests (Jest, Supertest), CI/CD.

FAQ

Questions before you decide

Is Node.js performant enough for production apps?

Yes, for I/O-bound apps (API, real-time) Node.js is very performant. For CPU-intensive tasks better use worker threads or other languages.
