Node.js
Node.js powers our backend services and tooling. Its event-driven model and JavaScript ecosystem let us build APIs, workers, and automation that integrate smoothly with frontends and third-party services.
Node.js is JavaScript running on the server. It uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, which makes it well-suited for I/O-heavy workloads like APIs, file handling, and real-time features. Because we often use JavaScript or TypeScript on the front end, sharing the same language on the back end simplifies hiring, code reuse, and context switching.
We use Node.js for REST and GraphQL APIs, serverless functions (e.g. on Vercel or AWS Lambda), background jobs, and build scripts. The npm ecosystem gives us battle-tested packages for databases, auth, validation, and more, so we can ship quickly without reinventing the wheel.
- •Fast, non-blocking I/O
- •Rich ecosystem (npm)
- •APIs and microservices
- •Scripts and build tooling
Where you'll see it
Node.js backs many of our web apps and APIs. We pair it with frameworks like Express or Fastify for traditional servers, or use it inside serverless functions. It also powers our tooling: build scripts, migrations, and automation that run in CI/CD or on your machine.
- •API servers and serverless functions
- •Real-time features (WebSockets, server-sent events)
- •CLI tools and dev/build scripts
- •Compatibility with front-end JavaScript/TypeScript
