Node.js Backend & API Development
Robust, scalable server-side solutions — REST APIs, webhooks, and integrations built to production standards.
A reliable backend is the foundation every successful digital product is built on. I design and build Node.js server-side systems that are clean, well-documented, and easy to maintain — from simple REST APIs powering a mobile app to complex webhook processors connecting multiple third-party services.
Start a Project- REST API design & development
- Express.js server architecture
- Database integration (MySQL, MongoDB)
- Authentication & authorisation (JWT, OAuth)
- Webhook & third-party API integration
- Cron jobs & background processing
How It Works
The Process
01
API Design & Contract
Endpoints, data models, authentication strategy, and error handling conventions agreed and documented in an OpenAPI spec before development begins.
02
Database Schema
Schema design and migration strategy for MySQL or MongoDB, optimised for your query patterns and indexing requirements.
03
Server Development
Express.js application built with clean separation of routes, controllers, services, and middleware — fully unit-tested.
04
Integrations & Auth
Third-party API connections, OAuth flows, JWT authentication, rate limiting, and input validation implemented securely.
05
Deployment & Monitoring
Production deployment with process management (PM2), environment configuration, logging, and uptime monitoring.
