Node.js Development
Fast APIs, real-time features, and backend systems that handle actual traffic
JavaScript on the Server, Done Right
Node.js is excellent for I/O-heavy workloads: APIs serving thousands of requests, real-time applications with websockets, and microservices that need to respond quickly. It's not the right choice for every project, but when it fits, it fits well.
We've been building Node.js applications since 2011, back when npm had 5,000 packages instead of 2 million. We know the ecosystem, the gotchas, and how to structure projects that stay maintainable as they grow.
Our Node.js Services
API Development
REST or GraphQL, whichever fits your use case. We build APIs with proper error handling, validation, rate limiting, and documentation. The kind you can hand off to a frontend team without apologies.
Microservices Architecture
Sometimes you need microservices. Sometimes a monolith is fine. We'll give you an honest assessment of which pattern fits your actual scale, and build it properly either way.
Real-Time Applications
Websockets for live updates, chat systems, collaborative editing, and anything else that needs instant feedback. We handle the reconnection logic, room management, and scaling across servers.
Database Integration
PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis: we wire up your data layer with proper connection pooling, query optimization, and migrations. No ORM magic that generates terrible SQL.
Authentication & Security
JWT, OAuth2, session management, role-based access. Authentication that actually works and doesn't leave gaping security holes.
Performance Optimization
Slow endpoints usually have one or two problems causing most of the pain. We profile, find them, and fix them. Then we add caching and monitoring so they stay fixed.

Why Node.js?
Non-Blocking I/O
Node handles many simultaneous connections without spinning up threads for each one. Good for APIs, bad for heavy computation. We'll tell you which you have.
Same Language, Front to Back
JavaScript on both ends means shared validation logic, types, and fewer context switches for your team. It's a real productivity win when it applies.
npm: Blessing and Curse
2 million packages available. Most of them are fine. Some are abandoned or insecure. We know which dependencies are worth taking on.
TypeScript by Default
We write TypeScript, not JavaScript. Compile-time type checking catches bugs before production. The tooling has matured; the excuses haven't.
Why Choose Convective?
We Build for Production
Demo code is easy. Production code handles errors, logs properly, shuts down gracefully, and doesn't leak memory. We know the difference.
Security Is Built In
Input validation, parameterized queries, rate limiting, dependency auditing: all standard. We don't ship code with obvious vulnerabilities.
We Fix Slow Things
Node.js performance issues usually come from blocking operations, N+1 queries, or missing indexes. We find them. Then we fix them.
DevOps Knowledge Included
Docker, CI/CD, cloud deployment: we handle the infrastructure side too. One team that can take your code from laptop to production.
