What does a Node.js backend do for your product?
It holds the data and the business rules your app depends on, and answers requests from a website, a mobile app or another system. Node.js suits work with many small connections at once: APIs, chat, webhooks and bots. For heavy number crunching another language can fit better, and I will say so before you pay for the wrong tool.
Which Node.js package fits the job?
| Your goal | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| An API for a web or mobile frontend | REST API or Mobile app backend | Auth, database, validation and docs your frontend team can follow |
| Users talking to each other live | Real-time chat app | Socket.IO rooms, presence and saved history |
| Two systems kept in sync | Webhook and integration service | Signed webhooks, retries and a queue so events are not lost |
| A bot for your community or customers | Telegram or Discord bot | Commands, buttons and moderator controls |
| An old Node app on an unsupported version | API migration and upgrade | Current LTS, patched dependencies and tests |
| An app that works locally but has no server | VPS deployment with PM2 and Nginx | HTTPS, restarts on reboot and a repeatable deploy |
What should you send before work begins?
A list of what the API or app must do, written as user actions, plus any existing repository, a sample database export stripped of personal data, and test-mode keys for the services it talks to. For deployment I need SSH access to the server, or a new VPS created in your name. I work only on accounts you own.
What is outside the package price?
Server and database hosting, third-party API usage, SMS and push fees, and paid monitoring tools, all billed to you by those providers. Data collection packages use only sources that allow it: I check robots.txt and the terms first, and I do not bypass logins, paywalls or CAPTCHAs. Traffic beyond what a plan load-tests may need extra infrastructure work.
How ordering a package works
-
1
Choose a plan
Pick Starter, Business or Premium and pay once by card, PayPal or crypto. The price on the page is the price.
-
2
Send your content
A project opens for your order. Send your text, logo, photos and any logins I need there.
-
3
I build it
I build on a private staging link you can open on your phone, with updates as I go.
-
4
Launch and handover
After your approval the site goes live on your domain, and every login is yours.
One-time price, no monthly fee from me
You pay for the build once. Your domain and hosting are registered in your name and renewed with your hosting provider, who bills you directly. I add nothing on top, and the site keeps running whether or not you hire me again.
What I do not build
Gambling and adult websites, and sites that sell content without the rights to it. Need something not listed? Ask for a custom quote.
Questions about node.js apps and apis
Do you use Express or NestJS?
Express for small, focused services such as a webhook receiver or a bot, because there is less to learn and maintain. NestJS for larger APIs with many modules, where its structure, dependency injection and decorators keep a growing codebase organized. Both are written in TypeScript, and I explain the choice before starting.
Which database will you use?
PostgreSQL by default, or MySQL or MongoDB when your project already uses one. Schema changes go through migrations with Prisma or Drizzle, so every change is versioned in Git. Redis is added when the work needs queues, caching or shared state between several server processes.
Will the API come with documentation?
Yes. Every API package includes an OpenAPI description generated from the code, viewable in Swagger UI, so frontend and mobile developers can try each endpoint. The README covers setup, environment variables and deployment. Larger plans add a Postman collection and a short runbook for whoever keeps the service running.
