Node.js Development
When Node.js Makes Sense
Node.js isn't always the right choice—but when it is, nothing else comes close. Real-time features, high-concurrency APIs, and full-stack JavaScript teams thrive on Node.
Netflix uses Node.js to serve 200+ million subscribers. LinkedIn cut their server count by 90% after switching to Node. PayPal saw double the requests per second with 35% faster response times.
We've built Node.js backends for consumer apps, real-time dashboards, and IoT platforms. We know when to use it—and when to recommend something else.
They were part of our product team, rather than just an outsourced delivery engagement. When we ran into issues, they could help us brainstorm the solution.
Node.js Products We've Shipped
Real-time, high-throughput, full-stack
Real-Time Dashboard
Live data visualization processing thousands of events per second with WebSocket connections.
IoT Gateway
Node.js services bridging hardware devices with cloud infrastructure in real-time.
Consumer Apps
Full-stack JavaScript applications with React frontends and Node.js APIs.
Event-Driven Architecture
Node.js excels at I/O-heavy workloads.
Database queries, API calls, file operations—Node's non-blocking event loop handles these efficiently. One Node server can handle thousands of concurrent connections that would choke traditional threaded architectures.
For real-time features, there's no better choice. Socket.io or native WebSockets integrate seamlessly. Your users see updates instantly.
Full-Stack JavaScript
One language. One team. Faster shipping.
When your React frontend team can also work on the Node.js backend, knowledge transfer is instant. Shared TypeScript types between client and server catch bugs at compile time. Shared utilities eliminate duplication.
We've seen startups ship 40% faster with full-stack JavaScript compared to mixed-language stacks. Fewer context switches, better code sharing.
ClearSummit creates elegant solutions to challenges we threw at them with a minimal learning curve. They have a rare talent of understanding what they're building.
How We Work
Validate the Choice
Node.js isn't always the answer. We start by understanding your requirements—real-time needs, team skills, scaling expectations. If Python or Go would serve you better, we'll tell you.
Architecture Before Code
API design, database schema, service boundaries. We use TypeScript by default for type safety. NestJS for enterprise structure or Express for lightweight APIs.
Iterative Development
2-week sprints with working deployments. You test real features every cycle. We catch performance issues before they become problems.
Deploy & Monitor
AWS, Heroku, or containerized deployments. We handle CI/CD, monitoring, and the inevitable scaling challenges. Node.js scales horizontally—we design for it from day one.

Modern JavaScript tools that scale.
Node.js vs. Python: The Honest Answer
Choose Node.js if: You need real-time features. Your team knows JavaScript. You want full-stack code sharing. You have high I/O concurrency requirements.
Choose Python/Django if: You need built-in admin and auth. You have complex business logic. You want the most mature ecosystem for web apps. You're doing data science or ML.
We build with both. We recommend what fits your product, not our preferences.
