(06) — FAQ
Common questions.
Hiring a senior Node.js developer in 2026 typically costs $75-140/hour depending on specialisation — REST/GraphQL API development sits in the middle, real-time systems (WebSockets, event streaming) and serverless/edge work sit at the top. Typical project ranges: REST API for a mobile app runs $10-35K; backend rewrite from PHP or Ruby runs $40-120K; real-time or streaming system runs $50-150K+. Rates below $50/hour usually mean junior devs writing basic Express endpoints, not engineers who have shipped production async patterns, TypeScript at scale, or serverless architectures. Our Node.js engineers work across Fastify, NestJS, and serverless (Vercel, Cloudflare Workers). Start time is 1-2 weeks.
NestJS for larger teams or enterprise apps. Express or Fastify for lightweight APIs.
Fly.io, Vercel, AWS ECS/Lambda, DigitalOcean, self-hosted. Match to scale and requirements.
Strongly recommended for anything beyond tiny scripts. All our production Node code is TypeScript.
