What We Build

Everything We Do With Node.js

From high-throughput APIs to real-time collaborative tools — our Node.js capabilities span the full spectrum of modern backend development.

High-Performance REST APIs
Express and Fastify APIs handling thousands of concurrent requests — rate limiting, JWT auth, versioning and Swagger documentation included.
🔄
Real-Time Applications
WebSocket and Socket.io powered apps: live chat, real-time dashboards, collaborative tools, notifications and live data feeds.
🏗️
Microservices Architecture
Event-driven microservices with RabbitMQ or Kafka message queues — scalable, independently deployable services for complex systems.
🤖
AI & LLM Integration
Node.js backends that integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and custom ML models — streaming responses, tool calling, RAG pipelines.
📦
GraphQL APIs
Apollo Server and GraphQL subscriptions — type-safe APIs with real-time capabilities, ideal for complex data relationships and frontend flexibility.
🔗
Third-Party Integrations
Payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe), SMS (Twilio, MSG91), email (SendGrid), CRM and ERP integrations — cleanly abstracted and well-tested.
🌐
Full-Stack Next.js / React
End-to-end JavaScript applications with Next.js on the frontend and Node.js on the backend — shared types, unified codebase, fast delivery.
🛒
E-commerce Backends
Product catalogues, inventory management, order processing, GST invoicing and Razorpay/Stripe integrations built on Express + MongoDB or PostgreSQL.
📊
Data Processing Pipelines
ETL pipelines, scheduled jobs (node-cron), file processing (CSV, Excel, PDF) and webhook consumers that handle high volumes reliably.
Why Node.js?

When Node.js Is The Right Choice

Node.js isn't the right tool for every job — but for specific categories of applications it's genuinely superior. Here's when we recommend it.

Real-time features are central

Live chat, multiplayer, collaborative editing, live dashboards — Node's non-blocking I/O handles thousands of concurrent WebSocket connections efficiently.

Full JavaScript team

When your frontend is React/Vue/Next.js, a Node.js backend lets your team share code, types and logic — dramatically reducing duplication.

Microservices architecture

Node services start fast, use minimal memory and deploy independently — ideal for event-driven microservices that need to scale horizontally.

High-concurrency I/O

APIs that call multiple external services simultaneously — Node's async/await model handles parallel I/O far more efficiently than synchronous frameworks.

Our Process

How We Deliver Node.js Projects

Structured, milestone-driven development with full visibility into progress at every stage.

Discuss Your Project →
01
API Design & Schema

We design your API contracts (OpenAPI 3.0) and database schema before writing code — agreeing on endpoints, request/response shapes and data models upfront.

02
TypeScript Architecture Setup

Project scaffolding with strict TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, Husky pre-commit hooks, and folder structure conventions established from day one.

03
Core Feature Development

Authentication, authorisation, database models and core business logic built with weekly demos on a staging environment you can access.

04
Integration & Real-Time Layer

Third-party integrations, WebSocket implementation, queue workers and background jobs — all built and tested in isolation before integration.

05
Testing & Load Testing

Jest unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage), k6 or Artillery load testing to validate performance under expected concurrent user loads.

06
Deployment & Monitoring

Dockerised deployment with PM2 process management, GitHub Actions CI/CD, structured logging (Winston/Pino) and error monitoring (Sentry).

FAQ

Node.js Development Questions

Should I use Node.js or Laravel for my project?
It depends on your project type. Node.js excels for real-time features (chat, live updates), JavaScript-native teams and microservices. Laravel is often better for standard business applications, e-commerce and projects where rapid feature development is the priority. We're happy to recommend the right choice for your specific project on a discovery call.
Do you use TypeScript or plain JavaScript?
We default to TypeScript for all new Node.js projects. The type safety catches bugs at compile time, makes refactoring safer, and means any developer who inherits the code understands it faster. Plain JavaScript is available for legacy codebases or when you have a specific reason to avoid TypeScript.
Can you handle real-time features for thousands of simultaneous users?
Yes. Node.js's event-driven architecture is specifically designed for high-concurrency I/O. We've built systems handling 10,000+ concurrent WebSocket connections on a single DigitalOcean droplet. For larger scale, we implement horizontal scaling with a Redis adapter and load balancers.
What databases do you use with Node.js?
Our defaults are PostgreSQL (relational data with Prisma ORM) and MongoDB (document data with Mongoose). We add Redis for caching, sessions and pub/sub. The database choice is always driven by your data structure and query patterns — we'll recommend the right option during discovery.
