Overview
Node.js engineers are easy to find and hard to find good. The trap: developers who write Node like browser JavaScript, ignore backpressure, never tune the event loop, and ship services that fall over at 200 RPS. Ours don't. Our Node.js developers know when to use streams, when to pin the libuv thread pool, why your Promise.all is silently leaking memory, and how to instrument a Node service so you can debug it at 3am. We default to TypeScript, write services with structured logging, and care about graceful shutdown.
Why Techyor.
Senior. Specialist. Shipping.
TypeScript-first, every time
Strict mode, no `any` smuggled in. Types serve as contracts that survive refactors and onboarding.
Framework-fluent, not framework-religious
We choose Fastify for raw performance, NestJS for structured large teams, Hono for edge runtime, Express only for compatibility. Pick by problem.
Operations-aware
Graceful shutdown, signal handling, structured logs, distributed tracing. Our services behave well under SIGTERM, not just under load.
What they cover.
Skills and stack.

How you can hire.
Three ways to engage.
Dedicated Full-Time
A senior developer working exclusively on your product, embedded into your team, sprint cycle, and rituals. Best for roadmap-driven work with continuous shipping.
Part-Time / Fractional
Two to three days a week of senior expertise. Ideal for early-stage teams, technical advisory, code review, or supplementing an existing in-house team.
Fixed-Scope Project
Defined milestones, outcomes, and timeline. Best when the brief is clear and you want a predictable budget. Includes design, QA, and handover.
How it works.
Simple. No theatre.
- 01
Quick intro call
A 30-minute conversation. Tell us what you're building, the stack you're on, and where you'd like help. No deck, no obligation.
- 02
We share our experience
We walk you through relevant projects we have shipped, the approach we would take, and the trade-offs to expect. Honest about what we are great at — and what we are not.

Start work
Mutual NDA, a clear scope, and a start date. We begin shipping that week. Daily updates and a single point of contact throughout.

FAQ.
Common questions.
Fastify, NestJS, or Express?
Fastify for performance-critical APIs. NestJS for large team codebases that benefit from structure (DI, modules). Express only when you need maximum ecosystem compatibility. We can also use Hono on edge runtimes.
Can you handle high-throughput?
Yes. We tune connection pooling, libuv thread pool, garbage collection, and use clustering or worker threads where helpful. Ten of thousands of RPS per instance is achievable for typical APIs.
Bun in production — yes or no?
Yes for new services where the package compatibility holds. We test the dependency tree first; if Bun's compatibility is solid for the project, it ships 2–3x faster startup and simpler deployment. Otherwise, Node.js 22 LTS.
How do you handle background jobs?
BullMQ on Redis for most cases. AWS SQS or Vercel Queues for managed alternatives. We build retry strategies, dead-letter queues, and observability for every queue from day one.
WebSockets or Server-Sent Events?
SSE for one-way push (notifications, live updates). WebSockets when you need bidirectional. Don't reach for WebSockets first — most 'we need WebSockets' problems are solved better with SSE + REST.
Can you migrate a JavaScript codebase to TypeScript?
Yes — we've done several. Incremental migration is the right strategy: install TS, allow JS, convert files highest-traffic first, tighten compiler options gradually.
How fast can a developer start?
For most roles, within 5–10 business days from the intro call. We pre-qualify our bench so onboarding is contracts and access — not a hiring search.
Do you sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements?
Yes — every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and a clean IP assignment clause. All work product is your property the moment it's written.
What time zones do your developers cover?
Our team primarily operates in IST with 4–6 hours of overlap with US Pacific, full overlap with EU, and full overlap with AU East. We commit to overlap windows in writing.
