Node.js specialists for your dedicated team.

Where Node.js fits in a long-term product team.

Node suits services whose work is mostly waiting. An API aggregating three upstream calls, a websocket layer holding thousands of idle connections, a webhook receiver: in each case, concurrency matters more than raw computation. It also lets a team share language and tooling with the browser, which is a real saving on a small team.

It fails in a recognisable way: one CPU-heavy operation on the event loop stalls every other request on that instance. Teams usually discover this under load, which is why load behaviour is best established early, well before launch.

What your dedicated team does with Node.js.

Node services tend to multiply. What starts as one API becomes four small services because they are cheap to create, and after two years it is hard to say which of them matter. A team that was there when each one was written can answer that from memory.

When the deployment and observability of those services becomes the constraint, dedicated cloud and DevOps team capacity joins on the same agreement, adjusted at the monthly cycle.

Common Node.js use cases.

• An API gateway over older systems One well-shaped interface in front of several legacy services, without touching the systems underneath.
• Real-time features Notifications, presence and live updates, where holding many idle connections cheaply is the requirement.
• One language across the stack A small team sharing conventions and utility code between browser and server, with one ecosystem to maintain.

Adding Node.js skills to your team.

Node.js specialists join through a dedicated software development team, most often alongside frontend developers on the same agreement.

Node.js work is assigned to dedicated, full-time specialists who work remotely in your repositories and are managed by us. It is the model behind every offshore team at Azendo, and how companies hire software developers without running the recruiting themselves.
