A Node backend that has a shape.
We build your Node backend with NestJS, so every module works the same way.
Starting point
Sound familiar?
Every module is built differently
Because the backend grew feature by feature.
Configuration and logging were reinvented
Differently in every service, and nobody trusts either.
No module can be tested on its own
Every change means running the whole system.
There is no shared structure new modules can follow.
The result
We deliver a NestJS backend with a structure every module follows, one that still holds up after handover.
- Running NestJS backend with a clear module structure
- Configuration, error handling and logging on one pattern
- Health checks and operational endpoints for deployment and monitoring
- Documentation of the architecture and decisions
Process
How we go about it
01 / ASSESSMENT
We understand the backend.
We look at how the backend is built today and where configuration and logging diverge.
02 / STRUCTURE
We define the module structure.
We bring every module onto the same structure, with configuration and error handling following one pattern.
03 / BUILD
We rebuild it on NestJS.
We implement the structure and wire configuration, health checks and background jobs into the module graph.
04 / HANDOVER
We hand over a testable system.
We hand over a backend where every module can be tested and swapped on its own.
Team shape, cadence and handover in detail are covered on the How we build page.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
For backends that grow and need to carry several modules or teams. For one small script, the structure is often more than you need.
Express gives you no structure, NestJS does. That costs some time upfront and pays off once more than one person works on the same backend.
No. NestJS is an open source framework, not a service. Everything we add on top is open as well, and usable without us.
We document the structure and the decisions behind it, so your team can build its own modules the same way from day one.
Every module is scoped so it can be tested on its own, without spinning up the whole system.
Configuration, health checks, storage access and background jobs. All on one pattern, so your team keeps building without us.
No. We do not estimate work we have not understood. An analysis always comes first.
No. Whoever starts stays until handover.
No. After handover you decide when we lose access to your systems. There is no spare key.
The code is yours and so is the documentation, entirely from day one. We do not build dependency on us as a business model.
Where this shows up in our work
Custom software
We build the software you cannot buy off the shelf, from the first line of code to running production.
Type-safe configuration for NestJS. Define your schema once, validate at startup, inject everywhere.
View on GitHubNestJS module for Hatchet. Background job orchestration wired into your module graph.
View on GitHubHealth and readiness endpoints for NestJS. Part of the module graph rather than bolted on.
View on GitHubEntity-focused exception handling for NestJS. HTTP-aware, works for REST and GraphQL alike.
View on GitHubFlydrive storage integration for NestJS. Typed disks as class tokens, fail-fast at startup, fakes for tests.
View on GitHubShared helpers for NestJS services. String utilities, UUID operations, Remeda helpers.
