Frequently asked
How much does it cost to hire Node.js developers?
Dedicated Node.js engineers are billed monthly and cost well below a comparable in-house backend hire in the US or UK. We share a rate once we understand your scope.
Can your Node developers work with our existing frontend?
Yes — we build backends to fit your existing web or mobile app, or provide the full stack if you need it.
Do you handle real-time features and payments?
Yes. Websocket/real-time systems and Stripe (including Connect payouts) are core strengths, with the reliability work to match.
Which Node frameworks do you use?
Commonly Express and NestJS with TypeScript, chosen to fit the project. We prioritize maintainability over framework fashion.
