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.

Delivery considerations for your region
Compliance & Data (UK/EU)
For UK teams, we default to GDPR-first thinking: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and clear access boundaries.
We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement practical retention/deletion flows when needed.
- GDPR-first patterns (minimise, restrict, document)
- DPA template available on request
- Retention/deletion and export flows where required
- Least-privilege access and secure session handling
- PII-safe logging + secure-by-default configuration
- NDA available for early-stage discussions
Timezone & Collaboration (UK/EU)
We align to UK time and EU overlap (GMT/BST with CET-friendly windows) for fast feedback cycles.
We keep the process lightweight: async updates, clear priorities, and written decisions to avoid ambiguity.
- UK/EU overlap with GMT/BST windows
- Async-first delivery with documented scope
- Weekly milestones and structured demos
- Clear escalation path for blockers
- Tight change control with clear sign-offs
Engagement & Procurement (UK)
We support typical UK procurement flows with clear scopes, change control, and invoice cadence.
If you prefer a discovery-first engagement, we can run a short paid discovery to lock requirements before build.
- GBP-based engagements and invoicing options
- Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
- Milestone-based billing when appropriate
- Transparent change control and sign-offs
- Vendor onboarding pack on request
Security & Quality (UK/EU)
We build for reliability and maintainability: clean PRs, tight review loops, and test coverage that matches risk.
Performance budgets and release checklists keep launches predictable—especially when multiple stakeholders review changes.
- CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
- Performance budgets + bundle checks (Core Web Vitals-minded)
- Structured release notes and rollback-safe deployments
- Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
- Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
