Anyone can build a React component. Building a fast, accessible, search-friendly front end takes more. Here is what to look for when you hire React developers.
Node.js is perfect for APIs and real-time products — when it is built by someone who understands async code, errors and production. Use this checklist.
Yes. With TypeScript, a framework like NestJS and good architecture, Node.js scales to large codebases and high traffic. Many major platforms run Node.js in production.
02
Can a Node.js developer also work on our React front end?
Many of our Node.js developers are full-stack JavaScript engineers. Mention it in your brief and we'll shortlist accordingly.
03
How do you ensure API security?
