Requirements and Specifications

We will discuss your business needs, current infrastructure, data systems, and any integral details going into the product plan.
We take your business needs and translate them to functional requirements.

Design & Architecture

Even if there is no need for a frontend, a custom Node.js back-end application needs considerable planning to ensure it’s architected properly, before we write a single line of code.
At this stage we will map out the planned DevOps pipeline, database and/or microservices to integrate, performance monitoring and error tracking.

Develop

Our development team will work on building an MVP using an agile approach.
Code quality and documentation are strictly enforced and reviewed.
Your dedicated Project Manager will keep you apprised of milestones and deliverables.

Improve

We don't wait until project completion, we will communicate with you at every step to ensure your needs are implemented.
If the team has recommendations for iterative product enhancements, we'll reach out immediately, saving you costly re-development fees.

Case Studies

Here are a few examples of how we've elevated our clients' online presence, and helped them achieve their goals via digital transformation.

Common Questions

: Where appropriate to a client’s needs, 9thCO recommends Node.js for three primary reasons.
The ease of programming both the back-end and front-end in the same language without having to worry about compatibility.
Node.js offers high performance and easy scalability.
We typically experience reduced time-to-market thanks to the use of full-stack developers.
: Asynchronous and Event-driven: Node.js uses a non-blocking, event-driven I/O model which makes it efficient for server-side web applications.
Single-threaded with multiple workers: Node.js runs JavaScript code in a single-threaded environment but uses multiple worker threads for heavy I/O operations.
Fast and Scalable: Node.js is built on top of Google's V8 JavaScript engine, making it fast and efficient. It can handle a large number of simultaneous connections with high performance.
Package Ecosystem: Node.js has a large and active package ecosystem (npm) with a vast library of modules that simplify development and make it easier to reuse code.
Cross-platform compatibility: Node.js is cross-platform and can run on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems.
Strong Community: Node.js has a strong and growing community of developers who contribute to its development and provide support to each other.
: With Node.js the possibilities are virtually endless.
Because Node.js is at the core of the most popular Javascript frameworks and libraries, and can produce very stable/capable servers, it can be used to deploy anything from streaming applications to browser games and beyond.
: Not only can Node.js be used to develop a wide range of applications, it is also compatible with all common platforms, including mobile.
With the capacity to manage multiple requests simultaneously, it is renowned for fast code execution, making it highly preferred among developers. It is lightweight, fast, and can be hosted almost anywhere.
: Node.js can be used with a variety of databases, both SQL and NoSQL. Some of the most commonly used databases with Node.js are:
MySQL: A popular open-source SQL database.
PostgreSQL: An open-source SQL database known for its reliability and data integrity.
MongoDB: A popular NoSQL database that uses JSON-like documents to store data.
Microsoft SQL Server: A proprietary SQL database from Microsoft.
SQLite: A lightweight, file-based SQL database that's commonly used for testing and small-scale applications.
Oracle Database: A commercial, enterprise-level SQL database.
Amazon DynamoDB: A NoSQL database offered by Amazon Web Services.
Redis: An in-memory, key-value data store that's often used for caching and real-time data processing.
These are just a few of the many databases that can be used with Node.js. The choice of database will depend on the specific needs and requirements of the project.
: Some of the most notable limitations of Node.js are:
Single-threaded nature: Although Node.js uses multiple worker threads for heavy I/O operations, its event-loop runs in a single thread. This means that long-running or blocking operations can disrupt the entire event-loop, slowing down the entire application.
Limited CPU-bound tasks: Node.js is not well suited for CPU-bound tasks, such as heavy computations or image processing, as it can only run a single thread at a time.
Callback hell: Node.js heavily relies on callbacks, which can become difficult to manage in complex applications and result in "callback hell," where the code becomes hard to read and maintain.
Limited support for multi-threading: Although Node.js has worker threads, it doesn't provide native support for multi-threading, making it challenging to use for applications that require parallel processing.
Vulnerability to slow or blocked events: Since Node.js runs in a single thread, a slow or blocked event can slow down the entire application. This can be mitigated by proper error handling and by breaking down large tasks into smaller, manageable chunks.
Maturity of certain modules: Node.js has a vast and growing package ecosystem, but some of the modules may not be as mature or well-maintained as others. This can result in compatibility issues or bugs in certain modules, which can impact the overall stability of the application.
Our experienced developers will assess if Node.js is the best solution once we understand your requirements.
: Node.js is widely adopted globally by many leading tech firms around the globe. Being open source, and with the most popular front-end technologies built for it, Node.js isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
