What I ship
What I build with Node.js
- 1RESTful APIs with Express or Fastify, auth, rate limiting, and documentation
- 2GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Yoga
- 3Background job queues with BullMQ and Redis
- 4Real-time servers with Socket.io or native WebSockets
- 5Automation pipelines and scheduled tasks with cron-style scheduling
Capabilities
Key features I use
- Non-blocking I/O makes Node.js excellent for I/O-bound workloads
- NPM ecosystem — the largest library ecosystem in the world
- TypeScript first-class support across the entire Node.js ecosystem
- Native async/await with excellent error propagation
- Fastify for high-performance APIs when Express overhead matters
Decision guide
When to choose Node.js
- Your application is I/O-bound — reading files, making HTTP requests, querying databases
- You want to share types and utilities between your frontend (React/Next.js) and backend
- Real-time features like chat, notifications, or live updates
- The team knows JavaScript and you don't want a context switch to a new language
Honest trade-offs
Limitations to know
- CPU-intensive tasks (image processing, cryptography, ML inference) block the event loop — use worker threads or delegate to a dedicated service
- Single-threaded by default — horizontal scaling is required for high-traffic applications
- Error handling requires discipline — unhandled promise rejections can bring down a process

FAQ
Common questions
Express or Fastify?+
Fastify for new projects — it's faster, has better TypeScript integration, and the schema-based validation is more explicit. Express for projects with existing middleware that would be expensive to migrate.
