RESTful API Development
High-performance Node.js REST APIs with proper versioning, authentication, rate limiting, and OpenAPI documentation — the default shape for product backends we ship.
We build scalable Node.js backends — RESTful APIs, GraphQL servers, real-time WebSocket systems, and microservices — using TypeScript, Express, NestJS, and Fastify.

What We Build
Production applications across product types — scoped to your users, stack, and growth stage.
6 product types — compare what we ship with Node.js in production.
High-performance Node.js REST APIs with proper versioning, authentication, rate limiting, and OpenAPI documentation — the default shape for product backends we ship.
WebSocket-powered chat, notifications, live dashboards, and collaborative tools using Socket.io or native WebSocket when fan-out and low-latency updates matter.
Apollo Server or Pothos GraphQL implementations with DataLoader, subscriptions, and schema-first design for clients that need flexible queries.
Node.js-based microservices with message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka), service discovery, and inter-service communication across bounded contexts.
Node.js BFF layers aggregating data from multiple upstream services into optimised responses for specific frontend clients — web, mobile, or both.
Node.js scripts, CLIs, and automation tools for developer workflows, data pipelines, and DevOps tooling where a shared TypeScript stack helps.
WHY CODEFLAMME
We know the hesitation. Here's exactly how we're different.
No account managers relaying messages. You're in direct contact with the founder and senior engineers on your project — every sprint, every decision.
The team that scopes your project is the team that ships it. We don't swap engineers mid-project to free them up for someone else.
Your idea and IP are protected from the first real conversation — not after contracts are signed.
Every line of code, every design file, transfers to you on delivery. No licensing, no retained rights, no surprises.
Our Capabilities
Core delivery areas for Node.js — architecture, implementation, and production hardening.
RESTful API design with proper resource modelling, HTTP semantics, error handling conventions, and versioning strategy.
JWT, OAuth 2.0, session-based auth, and RBAC implementation across Node.js REST and GraphQL APIs.
Prisma, TypeORM, Drizzle, and Knex integration with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis — including query optimisation and connection pooling.
Event loop profiling, cluster mode, worker threads, connection pool tuning, and caching strategy for high-throughput Node.js applications.
Structured error handling, Winston/Pino logging, Sentry integration, and distributed tracing for production Node.js services.
Jest, Supertest, and Vitest for unit and integration testing of Node.js APIs — including test database setup and teardown.
When to Choose
Decision scenarios where Node.js is the strongest fit — and why it earns the recommendation.
Primary use case
Node.js allows your frontend JavaScript developers to contribute to backend code, reducing team silos in smaller organisations without forcing a second language.
Scenario
Node.js's event-driven, non-blocking architecture is specifically well-suited to real-time applications with many concurrent connections and chatty I/O.
Scenario
Node.js has the largest package ecosystem (npm) and fastest onboarding time of any backend runtime for JavaScript developers already shipping UI.
Scenario
Node.js is ideal for Backend-for-Frontend layers that aggregate and transform data from multiple upstream APIs for specific client needs and payloads.
In Practice
API shapes we deliver with Node.js, when we choose Express vs NestJS, and how TypeScript and integrations fit the delivery.
Typical Node.js deliveries are product APIs: authenticated REST services for SaaS, WebSocket gateways for live notifications and collaborative boards, GraphQL layers for flexible client queries, and BFF services that reshape upstream data for web or mobile clients. We also ship worker processes for queues — email, exports, webhook fan-out — alongside the request path, with structured logging and OpenAPI docs as standard delivery artefacts.
We favour Node.js when the workload is I/O-bound, the team is already TypeScript-fluent, or real-time concurrency matters. NestJS is the default for structured enterprise APIs; Express or Fastify for smaller services or scripts. Python remains the better fit when ML libraries dominate the domain. These backends commonly integrate payment providers, CRM webhooks, identity providers, and cloud queues on AWS or GCP, and sit behind React, Next.js, or mobile clients. Shared TypeScript DTOs keep those clients and the API in sync as schemas evolve across releases.
For larger APIs we use NestJS modules, DI, and typed DTOs so structure stays consistent as the surface area grows.
Strict TypeScript is our Node.js default — shared types between handlers, clients, and OpenAPI-generated contracts where useful.
Node services often sit at the centre of third-party integrations — webhooks, OAuth, and reliable retry semantics included.
