# Node.js Development

Build backends, APIs, and tooling in Node.js that share one language and one skill set with your React and React Native frontends.

_[Expert Engineering](/ai-native-engineering) › [Feature Development](/capabilities/feature-development)_

**One language from API to app**

Your product does not end at the UI. We build the Node.js backends, APIs, and tooling behind React and React Native products, so one team and one language cover the whole stack.

## Feature Development

- React Foundation Founding Member · 300+ commits to React Native · Contributing since 2016
- 100+ Enterprise projects delivered
- Industry runs on our tooling · 50M+ OSS downloads / month
- 3.7× Lower task cost vs Opus 5.5
- “With the release of Re.Pack 5 we now have an easy way to create the MiniApps and federated mobile apps that our users have been asking for.” — Zackary Chapple, CEO / Zephyr Cloud
- ~6x Faster prototyping · 60+ Components mapped with full coverage · Figma · Claude · Server · Tailwind · Tokens · React · Cursor · ESLint
- React Native Paper · A component library in our open-source toolkit for building React Native interfaces.

## What you get: Ship the whole stack in TypeScript.

- **Production-grade APIs** REST, GraphQL, and real-time services designed around the clients that consume them.
- **Backend-for-frontend layer** BFFs that shape data per platform, so mobile clients stay thin and screens load in one round-trip.
- **Shared types end to end** One TypeScript contract from database to UI, so API changes fail at compile time, not in production.
- **Tooling and automation** CLIs, build scripts, and internal services on the runtime your team already knows.
- **Performance under load** Profiling, caching, and scaling that keep response times flat as traffic grows.
- **Observability built in** Logging, tracing, and metrics from the first deploy, so production issues are debuggable.

## How we work together: Turn roadmap scope into shipped features.

### Extend your team (1 week)
Our senior engineers join your team to ship features, guide technical decisions, and strengthen delivery.
- Your roadmap and workflow
- Expertise shared as we work
- Flexible timezone coverage
### Deliver a project (1-12 months)
We take agreed work from technical planning to release, with clear responsibilities and progress you can see.
- 3 Callstack engineers ship like 6
- Impact visible before sprint two
- End-to-end delivery
### Solve specific challenge (as needed)
We address a performance, migration, or infrastructure challenge, or run training around your team’s needs.
- Focused reviews or implementation
- Knowledge your team keeps
- Outcomes guaranteed with contract

## What shipping at AI speed looks like.

- [React Universe App: Networking Evolved With Liquid Glass](/case-studies/react-universe-app-networking-evolved-with-liquid-glass): 63% adoption rate; majority of attendees registered in the app
- [Building a browser-based React Native playground for Expo](/case-studies/building-a-browser-based-react-native-playground-for-expo)
- [Migrating AutoZone’s Storefront to Next.js for Better Performance and SEO](/case-studies/migration-to-nextjs-for-autozone): #1 SEO rank, recovering from 3-9
- [Creating React Native SDK Wrapper for Rive](/case-studies/creating-react-native-sdk-wrapper-for-rive): 100k weekly downloads on npm

**One team. Whole stack.** We build the Node.js services behind your product with the same rigor as the apps that consume them. [Book a call](/contact)

## Let’s find the right path for your product.

**Which Node.js frameworks do you use?**

We work with NestJS, Fastify, Express, and serverless runtimes. The choice follows your requirements and team experience, not our preferences.
**Can you take over an existing backend?**

Yes. We audit the current service, stabilize the risky parts, and evolve the architecture incrementally while it keeps serving traffic.
**Do you build serverless or containerized services?**

Both. Serverless fits spiky, event-driven workloads; containers fit steady traffic and long-lived connections. We model cost and latency before choosing.
**How does this connect to our React Native app?**

We design the API around the app: a BFF per platform where it pays off, shared TypeScript types, and contracts that catch breaking changes in CI.
**Do you handle databases and infrastructure?**

Yes. Schema design, migrations, and deployment on your cloud, with infrastructure as code so the setup is reproducible.
**Can agents work on the backend too?**

Yes. The same AI-native workflows we use for app code apply: agents implement and test changes, engineers own architecture and review.
