FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Node.js is ideal when you're already using JavaScript on the frontend, need real-time features, or want fast development. Python is better for data science, Java for enterprise systems requiring strict typing.

Yes. We use TypeScript for Node.js projects to catch errors early, improve code maintainability, and provide better IDE support. We set up proper types for request/response and database models.

We use connection pooling with database clients like pg (PostgreSQL) or mongoose (MongoDB). We implement proper connection management, error handling, and query optimization.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (Canada)

For Canadian teams, we focus on practical privacy and security: least-privilege access, clear boundaries, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align implementation with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification) and support documented data flows.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and secure session handling
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • PII-safe logging + access boundary documentation
  • NDA and vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (North America)

We work with Canadian teams with North America overlap and meeting windows that fit your schedule.

Delivery stays predictable via weekly milestones, async updates, and clearly documented decisions.

  • North America overlap and responsive communication
  • Async-first updates with written scope decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear escalation path for blockers
  • Tight change control with clear sign-offs

Engagement & Procurement (Canada)

We support procurement-friendly delivery: clear scope, change control, and billing cadence aligned to milestones when appropriate.

We can invoice in CAD for CAD-based engagements where required.

  • CAD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Vendor onboarding pack on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (North America)

We keep quality visible: clean PRs, reviewable changes, and test coverage that matches the risk of each feature.

Performance budgets and release discipline help maintain stability as the product scales.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Structured release notes + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
