Node.js development services
Businesses looking to build attractive, high-performing, and scalable apps often turn to Node.js. This innovative technology allows teams to use the incredibly popular programming language JavaScript on the server-side. This makes the app development process faster, more cost-effective, and innovative since Node.js is always up-to-date with the latest trends.
Our development teams used Node.js in projects realized for companies operating across many industries. We know how to use this powerful tool to build fast and scalable web applications.
What is Node.js?
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for JavaScript. It’s basically a backend technology that allows developers to write server-side code using JavaScript.
Node.js comes in handy, especially for apps that are highly-scalable, data-intensive, and available in real-time. The speed it is known for comes from its use of an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. That’s why the technology offers such a great opportunity to boost the performance of development teams.
This is why Node.js has become so popular among startups and tech giants alike. Companies like Netflix, Uber, Microsoft, and eBay have built their apps with the help of this technology.
Benefits of Node.js
Top speed
It supports the handling of concurrent requests, making apps lightning fast when performing multiple operations at the same time. It also accelerates the development process, allowing teams to build high-performing apps quickly
Scalability
The event-based model brought by Node.js also boosts the scalability and performance of applications. The technology is known for scaling better than JavaScript frameworks
Lightweight
It makes apps lightweight, but also efficient in dealing with data-intensive, real-time tasks - some of which might be running across a number of distributed devices
Flexibility
Another perk is more freedom to build the app just like you want. It doesn't restrict developers by many different rules, and guidelines like other JavaScript frameworks often do
Active community
Node.js is surrounded by a vibrant community of passionate developers who are constantly working to keep it up-to-date with the latest trends
Unique features
Node.js comes with a host of features that make it a unique tool on the JavaScript landscape. Moreover, it can deliver a robust server-side web application using a wide range of tools
Building Node.js applications
Internet of Things (IoT)
Node.js is an excellent technology for IoT since it can easily process multiple concurrent requests and events generated by thousands or even millions of devices connected to the network. Thanks to its event-driven architecture and low memory requirements, its servers can handle I/O-heavy operations that are usually part of IoT implementations. Integration as software into single-board controllers such as Arduino is easy
Real-time collaboration apps
The asynchronous and event-based architecture is also a great fit for all sorts of apps that allow users to collaborate on something. Such applications usually see many events and I/O requests occurring at the same time - for example, several users editing the same paragraph. Node.js can easily update the collaboration environment to enable all users to get a single, coherent representation of the application - like Yammer or Trello, which both use it as their backend
Single-Page Applications (SPAs)
Thanks to the efficient handling of asynchronous calls and heavy I/O workloads, Node.js is also great for building SPAs. Its event loop allows delaying multiple concurrent requests from the client to streamline the transitions between views and ensure easy data updates. The fact that it is written in the same language as many popular JavaScript frameworks (Ember, Meteor, React, Angular) helps too - because these tools are widely used in building SPAs. Less context switching means faster development
Real-time chats
Real-time chat applications can take on many different forms, from one-to-one or group chats powered by technologies such as instant messaging (IM) or Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Node.js is a great pick for this type of application because it offers all of the basic functionalities for building real-time chats
Streaming applications
Another great implementation of Node.js thanks to its native Stream API. Specifically, it comes with an interface of readable and writable streams which are processed and monitored efficiently. Moreover, they don't require caching and temporary data - all they need is an open connection that allows streaming application data from one location to another
Microservices architecture
It is also a great solution for building microservices and creating easy-to-use APIs which connect them. Its repository offers Express and Koa frameworks that help developers to mount several server instances for every microservice and then design routing addresses for them. Teams can create very flexible modules responsible for specific parts of the application and integrate Node.js with Docker easily
Team up with Concise Software
Our developers have a lot of experience in using Node.js as a backend to web applications developed for various industries. We know how to make the most of its incredible features to accelerate the process of building your app, make it cost-effective and smooth, and ensure that your app is equipped with everything it needs to manage a high volume of concurrent tasks
Flexible development process
Every technology partnership requires a degree of flexibility. That's why we're always ready to adjust our process to fully meet your business needs (even if we're devoted to Scrum in our regular workflows!)
Transparent communication
We use project management and collaboration tools that allow us to keep you updated about your project. Moreover, we show the results of work during regular demo sessions. You will get access to the project's code repository as well
Experience
We have delivered many web development projects to companies operating across sectors such as automotive, finance, and retail. Our teams worked on enterprise-grade applications and digital startup products. We know what it takes to build an application that brings tangible business results
Focus on quality
We invest in Quality Assurance that includes automated testing, test-driven development, and peer code review. These elements are critical parts of our development process. The code we deliver is clean and meets industry standards
