Node.js Development
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime for building fast, event-driven backend services, commonly used for real-time features and API layers.
Why We Use It
Node.js suits workloads with high concurrency and real-time requirements — using the same language on the client and server can also simplify a JavaScript-heavy stack.
Our Expertise
Where a project's architecture calls for it, we build Node.js services for real-time features and API layers alongside React or mobile front ends.
Use Cases
Typical Use Cases
Real-Time Features
Live notifications, chat and collaborative features requiring persistent connections.
API Layers for JS-Based Stacks
Backend services for React or mobile applications built in a unified JavaScript stack.
Lightweight Microservices
Focused services handling a specific piece of a larger system.
How It Fits Our Architecture
Node.js typically serves as an API or real-time service layer, often paired with MongoDB or PostgreSQL, deployed in Docker containers alongside the rest of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
When a workload is highly concurrent or real-time — for standard web application backends, PHP or Python are often just as effective and simpler to operate.
Yes — it is common to run a Node.js service for a specific real-time feature alongside a PHP-based main application.
It depends on the data model — MongoDB is a common pairing for flexible document data, while PostgreSQL fits relational data equally well.
