Node.js development
Node.js back ends that connect everything
Node.js APIs, integrations and back-end services that tie your website, store, CRM and tools together, built in TypeScript to be fast, secure and easy to extend.
What you walk away with
- Node.js service in TypeScript
- Documented REST or GraphQL API
- Integrations with your tools
- Tests, logging and monitoring
- Deployment and handover
Is Node.js the right fit?
We build on several platforms, so we'll tell you straight when another one suits you better.
(a great fit when)
- Your website or app needs its own API
- Several tools need to share data in real time
- You're building a Shopify or HubSpot app or custom integration
- You want AI or automation steps running behind your product
(we'd point you elsewhere if)
- You just need a website your team can editLook at Webflow
- No-code tools like Zapier would already do the jobLook at AI & Automation
What we build on Node.js

- 01
APIs & back ends
REST and GraphQL APIs for websites, mobile apps and dashboards.
- 02
Integrations
Your CRM, store, payments, ERP and marketing tools passing data on their own.
- 03
Shopify & HubSpot apps
Custom apps, webhooks and middleware for the platforms you already use.

Real-time features
Live updates, notifications and chat with WebSockets.
- 05
AI services
Back ends that call AI models to summarise, sort, draft and answer.
- 06
Performance & rescue
Audits, refactors and scaling for Node.js services under strain.
How a build runs
Four stages, with your sign-off at the end of each.
- Step 01
Map
The data, the systems involved and what should happen when.
- Step 02
Design
API contracts and data models agreed before building.
- Step 03
Build
TypeScript services with tests, logging and error handling.
- Step 04
Run
Deployment, monitoring and documentation your team can follow.
After launch, we stay
APIs and integrations work quietly in the background until they stop. We monitor them, keep the servers patched and fix problems before your team notices.
Server management
Operating system, Node.js LTS upgrades, SSL and firewall rules kept current.
Monitoring & alerts
Uptime, error rates and failed jobs watched around the clock.
Dependency & security updates
Packages audited and updated in small, tested releases.
Third-party API changes
When Shopify, HubSpot or a payment provider changes its API, we update the integration ahead of the deadline.
Backups & scaling
Database backups, and more capacity when traffic grows.
Logs & reports
Clear logs and a monthly report on health, incidents and fixes.
Annual maintenance contract
One agreement, the whole year covered
- One fixed yearly fee, agreed upfront
- Support hours every month for fixes and changes
- Agreed response times, with urgent issues first
- A monthly report of what was done and what's next
- The same team that knows your build

Our guides to getting Node.js right.
Common questions
Which databases and hosting do you use with Node.js?+
Usually PostgreSQL or MySQL, with Redis where speed matters, hosted on AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean or Vercel depending on your setup.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?+
Yes. Most of our Node.js work connects tools that already exist: CRMs, stores, payment gateways, ERPs and internal databases.
Do you build Shopify or HubSpot apps?+
Yes, including private apps, webhooks and middleware that keep the platform in sync with the rest of your business.
Can we hire a dedicated Node.js developer from India?+
Yes, for a project or on a monthly retainer, with overlapping hours for US, UK, European and Australian teams.
Do you offer Node.js server maintenance and support?+
Yes. On a monthly plan or an annual maintenance contract (AMC), we manage the servers, monitor APIs and jobs, apply security updates and keep integrations working when third-party APIs change.
