When to choose custom Node.js development
Node.js is a server-side platform great for building scalable, real-time, mobile, and web applications, including chatbots, games, or video streaming software. Want to take a closer look?
(If you don’t really need or want to take a closer look, go ahead and skip this part. We’re just doing this because our SEO person asked us to. Okay, if you’re not really familiar with Node.js, you’ll likely learn a thing or two. But you can head right to our services list. Or, better yet, straight to the contact form ;))
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, backend JavaScript runtime environment designed to build scalable network applications. It runs on the V8 engine and executes JavaScript code outside a web browser.
The thing about Node.js, apart from it sharing a lot of the benefits of JavaScript, is that it’s super fast. Because it runs as a single thread, it doesn’t cause memory overrun. Which is why it’s great for high-traffic, data-intensive, and easily scalable applications running on distributed devices.
Node.js is perfect for real-time, push-based applications, though it’s also used for traditional websites and backend API services. And speaking of the backend, one of the benefits of using Node.js is definitely the fact that it can be used both on the frontend and the backend. So you can often hire one full-stack developer to create your app (and possibly save time and budget in the software development process.)
But – as with almost anything in software development – whether Node.js is in fact the best choice for your current software project will heavily depend on your actual, specific needs and requirements, including what your customers and users want and need. Which is precisely why – before we tell you that you should choose Node.js for your next app – we’ll need to talk to you first to examine your needs and suggest a solution that fits them, Node.js or else.
And this, btw, is exactly what we’ll start with if we do a project together.
The benefits of custom Node.js development
- High-performing
Node.js improves an app’s response time, which translates into a considerable boost in performance, especially compared to other languages like, e.g., Python.
- Easily scalable
The way Node.js is built as an event-based language, it allows you to quickly scale your apps with lots of new features and room to grow (and new markets to conquer.)
- Cost-effective
Apart from helping your app scale, the fact that it has an extensive package management library with thousands of options ready to add also helps cut down the development cost (and time.)
- Real-time
Speaking of time, there’s no lag between the user’s request and the server processing that request with Node.js, which guarantees real-time communication that’s always in sync.
- Cross-platform
A large portion of the Node.js code for mobile apps can be transferred to desktop apps, again saving you time and cost (also considering the fact that you can use it for both your app’s frontend and backend).
- Community-supported
As with any open-source language, Node.js has a large, super-engaged online community of developers, helping constantly improve it and grow its capabilities.
Why choose DeSmart as your Node.js development company
At DeSmart, we can offer our clients a unique combination of almost 20 years of experience with expertise in the latest tech. Yes, we’ve been in the market for a really long time, and we’ve used that time to get really good at what we do. Instead of just growing into industry dinosaurs following the same ways, regardless of where the market is going.
One of the reasons for this is that we chose a different path than many of our fellow software houses and decided not to focus on the so-called exponential growth.

And all that time, you’ll be in touch directly with the people who create your software AND understand your business. And that’s without having to wait days for an email reply and all the usual back and forth you might know from other software development projects.
Instead, we’ll work together as a team to find the best solutions for the specific needs of your project and your customers, with your business goals always in mind.
