Node.js Projects for Backend Developers
Building a backend in Node.js is more than just writing app.get() handlers. You need middleware chains for auth, logging, and validation. You need proper error handling that doesn't crash the server. You need database connections that pool properly. Our projects handle all of this.
Express REST APIs
Our Express projects are structured with separate route files, controller functions, middleware, and service layers. Authentication uses JWT with refresh token rotation. Input validation uses Joi or Zod. Error handling uses a centralized error middleware. Rate limiting and CORS are configured. This is the architecture real API backends use.
Real-Time Applications
Socket.io projects include chat applications with rooms, live dashboards with data streaming, collaborative editing tools, and notification systems. You'll see proper socket event handling, room management, and connection state management. Some projects combine REST endpoints with WebSocket events in the same server.
Database Integration
Projects use MongoDB with Mongoose, PostgreSQL with Sequelize or Knex, and some use Prisma for type-safe database access. Each project shows proper schema design, migration handling, connection pooling, and query optimization. Seed scripts populate the database with test data.
Authentication and Authorization
Auth isn't just login/logout. Our projects implement proper JWT with access and refresh tokens, password hashing with bcrypt, email verification flows, password reset with time-limited tokens, and role-based access control with middleware guards. Some projects include OAuth integration with Google and GitHub.
