Custom Node.js Software Development Services
Custom Node.js development services bring JavaScript to the full web technology stack. Come find out what scalable, performant Node.js solutions can do for your business.
Node.js Development Services
Node.js is a cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that makes it possible to execute JavaScript outside of a web browser. Developers use Node.js to write a wide range of server-side software.
Since its launch in 2009, Node.js has become a cornerstone of web development. In 2021, engineers worldwide ranked Node.js as the second-most in-demand skill in the web development tech stack, right behind HTML itself. Integrio's advanced Node.js development team can handle projects of any scale, in any industry.

Advantages and Disadvantages
of Using Node.js Technology
The core technical features of Node.js are that it is threadless, non-blocking, and event-driven. Instead of using multiple OS threads to handle network requests, it employs an asynchronous, event-driven architecture to do things like fetch data or download images while waiting for other operations to complete. Like an adroit chef in a busy kitchen, Node.js juggles tasks very efficiently.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Server scalability:
In Node.js, thousands of concurrent connections can be supported on a single-thread event loop, significantly outperforming traditional threaded servers while using less memory. When Netflix surged to over 182 million subscribers, it turned to Node.js web servers to handle the traffic.
"Callback Hell":
Unskilled programmers often lapse into writing thorny nested callbacks, producing code that's hard to read and raising the risk of cascading errors. To ensure best practices are followed, it's important to hire experienced Node.js developers.
Cross-platform portability:
Node.js enjoys official support on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. In the cloud, an array of Node.js hosting options are available on dominant platforms like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Heroku.
CPU bottlenecks:
Node.js is stellar for I/O-intensive applications like video streaming or collaboration, but threaded technologies like Java can distribute CPU resources better in computationally demanding jobs like cryptography and image processing.
Development agility:
Node.js's "JavaScript everywhere" approach makes it possible to write applications with the same syntax in the back-end as the front, and Node.js developers and engineers benefit from robust Node.js frameworks like Express, Hapi, and MeteorJS. All this makes for faster time-to-market.
Support & documentation:
Node.js is relatively new. Although its resources are plentiful and its capabilities bleeding-edge, documentation and support are still maturing.

As with any powerful tool, Node.js is best at the work it was designed for. Understanding its strengths and limitations is key to successful project planning.
Nodejs development solutions
Node.js is an ideal back-end choice for projects ranging from mobile apps to SaaS solutions. Integrio Systems offers industry-leading custom Node.js development services for any web application.
Real-time applications
I/O-intensive applications are Node.js's forte, which makes it the standout choice for any custom software product that needs to be able to respond in real time. This can include video streaming, VoIP, instant messaging, collaborative project management, medical imaging, fraud detection, and (particularly in today's highly dynamic markets) business intelligence.
Startup product development
Because it lends itself to agile development practices, Node.js is a good option for startups who need to be able to bring an MVP to market on a tight budget and respond to feedback fast.
Enterprise web applications
Conventional wisdom holds that ERP and CRM systems are CPU-intensive, but as computational power rises in the client and database layers, some businesses are finding that I/O is their server-side performance bottleneck. Quality Node.js web development services can make that limitation a thing of the past.
Internet of Things (IoT)
The IoT runs on integration: smart devices are only smart if they can communicate with the cloud and each other. In addition to efficiently streaming real-time data, Node.js supports MQTT, a standard IoT messaging protocol.
Our Node.js programmers
Software is a significant investment in your company's future—dollar for dollar, often the largest a business will ever make. Integrio Systems provides expert Node.js development services that deliver the business value you need.
Specialized experience
What sets us apart as a Node.js development company is not only our veteran engineers, but a portfolio of talent that goes far beyond standard development competencies. Our teams include data scientists, mathematicians, and industry-leading AI/ML experts who can create true innovation on demanding and highly specialized projects.
Superior communication
To us, first-class communication with our clients means much more than fluent English. It means maintaining the transparency and client-first mindset that have made us long-term partners for enterprises large and small.
Flexible partnership for cost-effective solutions
Our models of cooperation range from outsourcing software development to providing a dedicated software development team. Often, our collaborations evolve as the products they support take off and grow. A project that began with outsourced Node.js development services might one day need its own dedicated team, and Integrio can be there every step of the way.
Case study: Node.js

EZSignUp
Founded in 1998, EZSignUp (formerly SignMeUp) is a web-based event registration platform offering a full suite of user-friendly tools to help promote events and manage registrations online. Features like an easy-to-use event dashboard as well as mobile registration and payment processing have been key to the platform's success.
Business need
EZSignUp brought Integrio on board to provide Node.js expertise to an ongoing modernization project. An older version of EZSignUp's software was a monolithic system written in Visual Basic that used web forms deployed to a single server. The new architecture is service-oriented, deployed to Docker and running on AWS.
Results
Since the new tech stack includes a Node.js graph router to handle the scalability needs, specialists fluent in Node.js are vital. Integrio provides the required Node.js and Angular talent for EZSignUp to maintain the performance of their modernized registration systems and prepare for further modernization in their services systems.
Key challenges
- Fluctuating traffic demands
- Many data-intensive processes
- Shortage of developers fluent in Angular and Node.js
