Node.js

Scalable server-side JavaScript

Node.js runs our backends: the APIs behind web and mobile apps, the integrations with Xero and CRMs, and the scheduled jobs that send invoices and reminders. Because it is JavaScript, the developer who built a screen can also build the API behind it, and TypeScript types can be shared across both. Node handles many simultaneous connections well, which suits live notifications and chat. For heavy number-crunching or machine learning work, another language is often the better tool.

Key Capabilities

RESTful & GraphQL APIs
Real-Time WebSocket Applications
Microservices Architecture
Database Integration (PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
Authentication & Authorisation
Queue Systems & Background Jobs

Why Choose Node.js

Full-Stack JavaScript

One language across the frontend and backend, so one team covers both and code can be shared between them.

Good at Waiting

Node does not sit idle while a database or third-party API responds, so one server can handle many requests at once.

Scalable Architecture

When traffic grows, we add more servers running the same code rather than rewriting it.

What We Build With Node.js

API Development

REST and GraphQL APIs behind your web and mobile apps, with authentication and logging.

Real-Time Applications

Chat, live notifications and dashboards that update without a page refresh.

Data Processing

Imports, exports and syncs that move data between your systems on a schedule.

Automation Services

Scheduled jobs and workflow automation, with logs that show what ran and when.
