Node.js development for APIs and services that stay responsive
Centricone builds Node.js backends: typed APIs, integration layers between systems that never spoke, and real-time services — with the profiling and memory discipline this runtime demands in production.
What we build
What we build with Node.js
Typed APIs with contracts that hold
REST or GraphQL with schema-driven types shared to the client, so a breaking change fails a build rather than a customer's screen.
Integration layers between systems
The middle tier that stitches an ERP, a payment provider, and a storefront together — with retries, idempotency, and dead-letter handling designed in.
Real-time features that scale sideways
WebSocket and event-driven services built so that adding capacity is adding instances, not rewriting the connection model.
When Node.js is the right call — and when it is not
We would rather talk you out of a stack than deliver the wrong one well.
Reach for it when
- I/O-heavy workloads: APIs, integrations, streaming, and real-time messaging
- Teams already writing TypeScript on the frontend who benefit from one language
- Serverless and edge deployments, where startup time matters
Pick something else when
- CPU-bound work — image processing, heavy analytics, large-scale numeric work
- Teams with deep .NET or Java expertise and no reason to leave it
- Workloads needing true multi-threading rather than concurrency across processes
What we normally run alongside it
No stack is one tool. These are the pieces that usually show up with Node.js on our projects.
- TypeScript
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Fastify
- Prisma
- Docker
Need people rather than a project?
We place Node.js engineers into your own team on contract or contract-to-hire.
