Node.js & API Development
WeBuildStack is a remote-first software development company in Bengaluru, India, that builds web and mobile applications and the cloud behind them. For a Node.js API, background jobs, real-time features and the integrations your product depends on: a written quote within 48 hours and an MVP in six weeks with deployment included, with team hours set to your timezone. 15+ engineers, 100+ projects.
Every front end we build sits on an API we wrote and will answer for. Week one produces the data model, an OpenAPI spec you can review before a line of business logic exists, a seeded local environment in Docker, and a staging deploy on your cloud account. Then we build the endpoints in the order your product needs them.
We build the whole stack. MVP in 6 weeks, deployment included.
What you get
- NestJS, Fastify or Express services with OpenAPI docs generated from the code, so the spec cannot drift
- PostgreSQL, MySQL or MongoDB modelled with Prisma or Drizzle, with migrations that run in CI before deploy
- Authentication with OAuth 2.0, JWT or your SSO provider, and role-based permissions checked in one place
- Queues and scheduled jobs with BullMQ, SQS or Cloud Tasks, with retries, dead-letter handling and alerts
- Razorpay and Stripe payments, SMS and email providers, maps, and ERP connectors with idempotent webhooks
How a typical Node.js project runs
- Week 1
01Scope and quote
A technical lead reads your brief, asks the awkward questions and sends a written Node.js quote within 48 hours.
- Weeks 2 to 5
02Build in weekly sprints
A demo every Friday. The tech lead reviews every pull request before it merges, and you can see the repo at any time.
- Week 6
03Launch, deployment included
We deploy to your cloud accounts, hand over the repos and a runbook. You own the code and the IP.
Where this service fits
- 01
API platforms
Versioned public and partner APIs with API keys, rate limits, usage metering and a developer portal generated from the spec.
- 02
Real-time features
Chat, live order tracking, notifications and presence over WebSockets, with reconnection and back-pressure handled, not hoped for.
- 03
Integration layers
One well-tested adapter per external system (CRM, ERP, payment gateway, courier) so a vendor change is a module swap, not a rewrite.
Node.js & API Development: common questions
Something not covered here? Ask a tech lead. We reply within one business day.
Yes, for a Node.js API, background jobs, real-time features and the integrations your product depends on. A written scope and fixed quote within 48 hours, an MVP in six weeks with deployment included, a tech lead reviewing every pull request, and code you own; the team works in your timezone from Bengaluru, India.
A modular monolith unless you already run a platform team. We organise the code by domain with clear boundaries so a module can become its own service later without a rewrite. Most products never need to split, and that is fine.
Schema validation with Zod on every input, parameterised queries only, rate limiting per key, secrets in your cloud secret manager with rotation, dependency scanning in CI, and an OWASP checklist signed off by the tech lead before each release.
The repository, the OpenAPI spec, a Postman or Bruno collection, database migration history, infrastructure as code for the deploy, and a runbook covering backups, rollbacks and the alerts we set up. Deployment to your account is part of the scope, not an add-on.
