Core Runtime

Node.js

A core runtime we ship with for APIs, BFFs, real-time features, and integration layers. Node.js keeps product teams moving quickly when JavaScript and TypeScript already power the frontend.

Why we ship with Node.js

Node.js gives product teams a fast backend runtime for APIs, BFFs, and integration layers when the same JavaScript or TypeScript model already powers the user experience.

Ship full-stack features faster

Shared language and shared tooling reduce handoff friction between frontend, API, and server-side product work.

Fit naturally between systems

Node.js is a strong fit for API gateways, webhook handlers, third-party integrations, and real-time surfaces that sit close to the product.

How we use it to ship products

We use Node.js where it keeps delivery fast without hiding operational risk: product APIs, real-time paths, jobs, and integration-heavy workflows.

APIs and BFF layers

REST, GraphQL, and backend-for-frontend layers that shape data for web and mobile clients.

Real-time product features

WebSockets, event streams, notifications, and collaboration features with clear fallbacks.

Integrations and webhooks

Payment events, CRM syncs, partner APIs, and webhook processors that are safe to retry.

Workers and serverless jobs

Queue consumers, scheduled tasks, and serverless handlers with observability around every external call.

Our delivery principles with Node.js

Practical choices that keep Node.js services clear, testable, and production-ready.

Type the contracts

TypeScript, schema validation, and explicit DTOs keep client and server changes aligned before they reach production.

Keep the event loop honest

We isolate slow work, watch latency, and choose queues or workers when CPU-heavy tasks do not belong in the request path.

Make retries safe

Webhooks, integrations, and jobs need idempotency, durable state, and clear failure modes before traffic shows up.

Observe the edges

Logs, metrics, traces, and alerts focus on external APIs, queues, and database calls where most production surprises happen.

Node.js works best when the surrounding contracts, data stores, and delivery path are just as intentional.
