SaaS platform in London
A project-management SaaS with 5,000–10,000 daily visits moved from a usage-billed serverless platform to a fixed-cost NestJS deployment on VPS, cutting the monthly hosting bill to a predictable figure.
Node.js & TypeScript Development in the UK
Programming Services · United Kingdom
Node.js & TypeScript development in the UK covers APIs, realtime WebSocket services and BFF layers built in NestJS, Express or Fastify, strictly typed and deployed on VPS or Kubernetes infrastructure we operate at a fixed monthly cost rather than pay-per-usage billing. We build, deploy, patch and monitor the service after launch.
- NestJS, Express and Fastify, strictly typed throughout
- Fixed monthly infrastructure cost, not usage-based billing
- Realtime WebSocket and BFF services included
- VPS 1–8h/month; Kubernetes on dedicated 5–10h/month depending on planIncluded hours

01
What we build
We build structured, modular APIs in NestJS for larger applications, and lighter Express or Fastify services where a full framework's conventions aren't needed. Realtime features, chat, live dashboards, order tracking, run over WebSockets with a Redis-backed pub/sub layer so they hold up across multiple instances. Where a Next.js frontend needs a dedicated backend-for-frontend, we build it in TypeScript with the same strict typing as the rest of the stack.

- Lighter services in Express or Fastify
- Realtime WebSocket features with Redis pub/sub
- Backend-for-frontend layers for Next.js applications
02
Where it runs
Node.js services run in Docker containers on VPS plans at a fixed monthly cost, which answers the recurring question we see about avoiding unpredictable pay-per-usage billing for TypeScript microservices. Once you're running several services that need to scale independently, we move them to Kubernetes, still on the same fixed-cost infrastructure, with each service sized against its own memory and CPU requests.
03
UK context
UK teams building on Node.js and TypeScript often come to us either from an expensive usage-based cloud bill or from shared hosting that can't run a persistent Node process at all. We run everything in Frankfurt inside the EU, with a GDPR data processing agreement available for review, and invoice in EUR with UK VAT at 20% shown as a separate line.
04
How the included hours get used
Node.js and TypeScript clients typically spend their monthly hours on tracing and performance work once a WebSocket service grows past a few thousand concurrent connections, migrating an Express codebase to NestJS for better structure as a team grows, packaging and deployment for a new service, and dependency upgrades. You request the work from the panel, and hours past the monthly quota are billed separately rather than queued.
How we work
Request from the panel
You raise a request under Programming Services describing the Node.js or TypeScript task and a deadline that fits your release plan.
Scope and timeline
We confirm the framework and infrastructure, estimate the hours against your monthly quota, and tell you what falls outside it.
Delivery
We build or migrate the service, test it under realistic connection load where relevant, and deploy once you've reviewed it.
Handover
You get the repository, the Docker or Kubernetes configuration, and a short runbook covering deployment, scaling and rollback.
Use cases
Logistics dashboard in Manchester
A delivery-tracking dashboard needed a WebSocket service handling live position updates for several hundred concurrent drivers, built in Fastify with a Redis pub/sub layer to keep every client in sync.
Agency build for a client in Leeds
A digital agency needed a backend-for-frontend built in NestJS to sit behind a client's Next.js storefront, strictly typed end to end so the frontend and backend teams could work from the same contracts.

Every subscription includes monthly DevOps, CyberSecurity and Programming hours: 1 h from the cPanel Advanced plan up, 1–8 h on VPS, 5–10 h on dedicated servers depending on the plan, and 10 h on GPU servers. Hours are requested from your client panel, don't roll over to the next month, and anything above the quota is accepted and billed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I host a Node.js website with 5,000–10,000 visits a day?
A VPS with Docker handles that comfortably at a fixed monthly cost, with room to add a Redis cache or a second instance behind a load balancer if traffic grows further. We size the plan against your actual traffic rather than a generic tier.
Can I get fixed-cost Node.js hosting instead of pay-per-usage?
Yes, that's the default on our VPS and Kubernetes plans: you pay for the server, not per request or per function invocation, which makes the monthly cost predictable regardless of traffic spikes.
Can Node.js run on shared cPanel hosting?
Only in a limited way, since Node needs a persistent process rather than the request-per-process model cPanel is built for. We deploy Node.js applications on VPS or Kubernetes instead, with proper process management.
Node.js or Go for a new backend?
Node.js and TypeScript suit teams that want one language across frontend and backend and need to move fast on features. Go suits services under very high concurrency where memory efficiency matters more than developer velocity. We can advise once we know the workload.
Do you support NestJS specifically, or only Express?
Yes, NestJS is our default recommendation for anything beyond a small service, since its module structure and built-in TypeScript support scale better as a codebase and team grow. We use Express or Fastify for lighter, single-purpose services.
Can you build realtime features with WebSockets?
Yes. We build WebSocket services with a Redis-backed pub/sub layer so realtime features, chat, live dashboards, tracking, stay in sync across multiple server instances rather than being tied to a single process.
