Fast. Concurrent.Production-Grade Backend.

Node.js wins when JavaScript full-stack is a priority, real-time WebSocket features are core, high-concurrency API performance is critical, or microservices with event-driven communication are the architecture. Laravel wins when the data model is complex and relational, the PHP team is established, or Laravel's ecosystem (Cashier, Horizon) adds specific productivity gains.

Yes. Infynno's Node.js developers are proficient with PostgreSQL (using Prisma or the raw pg driver) and MySQL (Sequelize or mysql2) - including schema design, query optimization, connection pool tuning, and migration management. The assumption that Node.js always means MongoDB is incorrect.

Yes. We profile the event loop (Clinic.js, flame graphs), identify blocking code, analyze heap snapshots for memory leaks, audit database query performance (EXPLAIN ANALYZE, N+1 detection), review connection pool configuration, and implement caching and queue solutions - with before-and-after metrics.

Yes. We execute migrations from PHP/Laravel, Python/Django, and Java Spring to Node.js (Express or NestJS) using the strangler fig pattern - keeping the existing system live during migration. The new implementation matches the existing API contract exactly for gradual traffic cutover.

Your matched Node.js developer works on a real task - an API endpoint, a BullMQ worker, a NestJS module - for one week. You evaluate code quality, TypeScript usage, error handling, test coverage, and communication before any long-term commitment. No guesswork.

Yes. TypeScript is non-negotiable for all Node.js development at Infynno. Typed controllers, typed service interfaces, typed Prisma/Sequelize models, typed environment variables. Untyped Node.js codebases are a significant maintenance liability that TypeScript prevents.
