Node.js development services

APIs, real-time services and ingestion workers built for throughput and observability.

Our position

Node earns its place on I/O-bound work: APIs, real-time connections, streaming ingestion, orchestration between services. It handles concurrency well and blocks badly, so the discipline is knowing which is which.

We build typed end to end, validate at every boundary, and put queues in front of anything that could be slow. CPU-heavy work goes to a worker or a different runtime entirely rather than starving the event loop.

Questions

Node.js, specifically.

Node or Python for our backend?

Node when the workload is I/O-bound and a shared TypeScript language across front and back end has real team value. Python when the work is data or ML-adjacent. Many of our systems run both, split along that line.

How do you handle long-running work?

Out of the request path entirely. A durable queue with retries, idempotency and dead-letter handling, plus a way to inspect and replay failures rather than losing them.
