Node.js Backend & API Development

We build Node.js backends and APIs for SaaS platforms and system integrations - Express for straightforward services, NestJS when a larger production system needs more structure than Express gives you by default.

What we build

What We Actually Build With Node.js

  • REST APIs and backend services on Node.js/Express for new SaaS products
  • NestJS-based backends for larger systems that need real architectural structure
  • Integration layers connecting third-party APIs, AI services, and existing business systems
  • Node.js services paired with a Python FastAPI layer for AI/ML-heavy workloads

Technical depth

Node.js Work We Actually Do

Express API services

Lightweight, well-structured REST APIs for products where Express's simplicity is the right fit.

NestJS for larger systems

Module-based NestJS architecture for backends that have outgrown a flat Express app - used on our AxiomFin fund administration platform.

Third-party and AI API integration

Wiring OpenAI and other external APIs into a Node.js backend as part of the product, not a bolted-on feature.

Node.js + Python service composition

Node.js handling the API/application layer while a Python FastAPI service handles ML or data-processing workloads it's better suited for.

Redis-backed caching and session handling

Redis paired with Node.js backends for caching and state that doesn't belong in the primary database.

How we approach it

Migration & Implementation Patterns

01

Design the API surface around the integrations and consumers it actually needs to support.

02

Choose Express or NestJS based on the system's real complexity, not by default.

03

Separate concerns - application logic, integration logic, and any ML/data-processing workload - into services suited to each.

04

Build in error handling and observability for integration points, since third-party APIs are the most common failure point.

05

Load-test integration and API layers before launch, not just the primary user-facing paths.
