Web engineering
We build Node.js backends in TypeScript: REST APIs for web and mobile apps, real-time features, background workers and serverless functions. For lean services we use Express 5; when a codebase needs more structure, we reach for NestJS. Every service ships with input validation, structured logging and tests, so it is ready for production from the first release.
(01)Scope
Node.js backends that stay fast under real traffic
Versioned endpoints with request validation, pagination, rate limiting and OpenAPI documentation.
Chat, live dashboards, notifications and presence with Socket.io, scaled across servers with Redis.
Queues for emails, reports, imports and webhooks, so slow work never holds up a request.
Services split out only where it pays off, talking over RabbitMQ or HTTP, each with its own deploy pipeline.
AWS Lambda or Vercel functions for spiky workloads, with cold starts and monthly costs kept in check.
Express 4 apps moved to Express 5, with native async error handling and the updated route syntax.
(02)Use cases
Auth, profiles, push notifications, payments and file uploads for React Native or Flutter apps.
Booking availability, order tracking, chat and dashboards that update the moment data changes.
Small Node.js services that sync data between Stripe, your CRM and your accounting tool, with retries and logs.
(03)Outcomes
Every project includes
(04)Process
Clear milestones, weekly demos and a daily written update, so there are no surprises at the end.
Endpoints, payloads and errors agreed in an OpenAPI spec, so frontend and mobile teams can start in parallel.
Database schema, indexes, caching and expected traffic mapped before the first route is written.
Endpoints built with automated tests, reviewed by a second developer and deployed to staging every week.
Containerized deploys, health checks, logs and alerts, so problems surface before users report them.

Our Node.js developers work by the hour or full-time, quoted to your needs. A standalone API or integration project, or a full web app MVP with a Node.js backend, gets a fixed, itemized quote after a free 30-minute call. The price depends on the number of endpoints, integrations and real-time features involved.
Express suits small services, prototypes and teams that want as little framework as possible. NestJS suits larger backends with many modules and developers, because modules and dependency injection keep the code consistent. A common pattern is NestJS for the core product and Express or plain functions for small satellite services.
Yes. Express 5 is the current release line and needs Node.js 18 or newer. Most of the work is updating route patterns for the new path-matching syntax, replacing removed methods and simplifying error handling, since rejected promises now reach your error middleware automatically. We run your tests at each step and fix whatever they catch.
For I/O-heavy work such as APIs, real-time updates and integrations, Node.js handles high concurrency well. For CPU-heavy tasks like video processing or large data analysis, we move that work to worker threads, a queue or a Python service. We load-test critical endpoints before launch so you know where the limits are.
Usually in Docker containers on AWS, Google Cloud or DigitalOcean, or as serverless functions when traffic is spiky. If your users or contracts call for Canadian hosting, we deploy to AWS’s Canada regions in Montréal or Calgary. You own the cloud account, and we document every setting.
