Backend Engineering

Node.js APIs and services built for production.

Fastify, NestJS, tRPC — modern TypeScript backends with observability, caching, and reliability baked in from the first commit.

Delivery model
  • Fixed-price proposals
  • Senior engineers only
  • Weekly progress updates
  • Two weeks post-launch support
Why RPMStack for Node.js Development

Three principles we don't compromise on.

01

TypeScript end-to-end

Shared types from database to UI. No runtime surprises.

02

Observability-first

OpenTelemetry, structured logging, and error tracking wired up before the first feature ships.

03

Framework-appropriate

Fastify for lean APIs. NestJS for large team dev. tRPC when the client is Next.js. We don't force one hammer.

What we build

Concrete deliverables. No hand-waving.

  • REST and GraphQL APIs
  • tRPC full-stack apps
  • Event-driven microservices
  • Real-time systems (WebSocket / Socket.io)
  • Background job workers (BullMQ)
  • Serverless functions (Lambda, Vercel Functions)

What we reach for.

Data model + API contract → Iterative delivery → Observability wiring → Load testing → Launch → SLO monitoring.

FAQ

Common questions.

Fastify, Express, or NestJS?

+

Fastify for lean, fast APIs where team size stays small. NestJS when you have 5+ backend engineers and want opinionated structure. Express only for legacy maintenance.

Do you build microservices?

+

Rarely, and only when they're justified. We push back on premature microservice splits — they usually cost more than they save until you're at real scale.
