Node.js development
Node.js, for the systems that have to answer quickly.
Node suits APIs and real-time work: a lot of small requests, a lot of waiting on other systems, one language across the whole stack. It is also easy to build into something nobody can maintain, which is the part we take seriously.
CrazyVerse's provisioning and billing system runs on Node.js.
Overview
Node.js, the way we do it
Node is the right tool when your system spends its life talking to other systems: taking an order, calling a payment provider, writing a record, telling three other services it happened. It handles that shape of work well, and it lets one team move between the front end and the back end without switching language.
The risk is the ecosystem. A Node project can accumulate hundreds of dependencies nobody chose deliberately. We keep the dependency list short and justified, type it end to end, and structure it so a new developer can find where anything happens.
What's included
What you actually get
- APIs and services that hold up under a lot of small, concurrent requests
- TypeScript throughout, so a change breaks the build rather than production
- A dependency list kept short and deliberate, and patched
- Structured so features have an obvious home rather than accumulating in one file
- Deployed on infrastructure we configure and monitor
How we work
Five steps, no surprises
- 01
We talk
A call or a WhatsApp thread. You tell us what is not working; we tell you honestly whether we are the right people.
- 02
We scope it
A written plan with what you get, what it costs and how long it takes. Fixed, so there are no surprises later.
- 03
We build it
You see it as it goes, not at the end. Changes are cheap while it is still being built.
- 04
We put it live
On infrastructure we set up and secure, tested before the launch date.
- 05
We keep it running
Updates, monitoring and someone who answers. Most clients stay on a monthly agreement.
Questions
About node.js
Node or PHP for our API?
Node where the work is many small requests and real-time updates; PHP where you already have a PHP estate and a team who knows it. Both are fine choices, and we will tell you which suits your situation rather than which is fashionable.
Do you use TypeScript?
Yes, on anything that will be maintained. The cost is a few days at the start; the return is that a whole class of mistake fails the build instead of reaching a customer.
Can you take over an existing Node project?
Yes. We start by reading it and reporting what we find, including the dependency situation, before quoting on features.
