› NODE.JS

Node.js where the event loop matters. Real-time, streaming, APIs at scale.

50+ engineers fluent in JavaScript, TypeScript and the wider Node.js ecosystem. WebSockets, GraphQL, IoT pipelines, serverless. JavaScript across the stack, from glue scripts to the platform that ships at production volume.

Why Node.js keeps showing up in the platforms we ship.

Five properties — async I/O, JavaScript everywhere, the NPM ecosystem, V8 performance and a clean fit for microservices — explain why most of our real-time and API work ends up on Node.

Asynchronous & non-blocking

Node.js handles thousands of concurrent connections on a single thread thanks to its event-driven I/O model. Real-time apps, streaming pipelines and high-throughput APIs without thread management overhead.

JavaScript everywhere

One language across browser, server, mobile (React Native) and tooling. Shared types, shared utilities, and a single hiring pool — JavaScript on the frontend continues into the backend without context switches.

Vast NPM ecosystem

Two million packages on npm, the largest software registry in the world. If a library exists for a problem, it usually lives here — and the community keeps it alive, audited and current.

V8 performance

Built on Google's V8 engine — the same runtime that powers Chrome. JIT compilation, generational garbage collection and aggressive optimisation give Node.js the throughput of a compiled language with the ergonomics of a scripted one.

Microservices & APIs

Node.js's startup time, container size and async-by-default model make it a natural fit for microservice meshes, serverless functions and RESTful or GraphQL APIs handling thousands of requests per second.

Runtime Revolution is a company that has been working successfully since 2006 with startups and corporate companies from all over the world.

Four shapes of Node.js work we keep coming back to.

› 01

Helping companies launch their MVPs.

Building MVPs and scaling up from 0 to millions of users, with Node.js handling the backend, real-time channels and integrations.

› 02

Refactoring legacy code bases.

Refactoring legacy Node.js codebases and monoliths into modular, performant and reliable systems.

› 03

Real-time & streaming pipelines.

Real-time chat, live dashboards, Bluetooth bridges, IoT data ingestion — anywhere Node's event loop shines.

› 04

Augmenting existing engineering teams.

Embedding senior Node.js engineers into your team and process — fulfilling specific JavaScript, real-time or platform needs.

Engineers fluent in JavaScript, TypeScript and the wider Node.js ecosystem.

We've been writing server-side JavaScript since Node was a curiosity. Today the team ships Node.js code into production across web, mobile, real-time bridges, IoT pipelines and serverless platforms — same engineers, accumulated context.

What we work with.

CityRow — Node bridging Bluetooth telemetry to a connected fitness platform across web, mobile and embedded.

Node.js as the realtime glue between hardware and a multi-surface product.

CityRow ships a tablet-integrated rower plus a mobile app for owners of earlier models — both pulling live Bluetooth telemetry from the rower into a unified training experience. Node.js sits between the hardware, the data layer and the client surfaces.

Over four years the engagement scaled from three Runtime developers to nine plus a dedicated QA. 574 million metres rowed by members on the platform we built — every one of them passing through Node services we still maintain.

We don't just use Node. We share what we learn.

Recent posts from our engineers on the Insights blog — production lessons from Next.js, Deno, JavaScript framework choices and the patterns that ship our work.

What we offer.

Full-stack development.

Complex, dynamic web applications end-to-end. One JavaScript / TypeScript codebase from database to browser — fewer context switches, faster iteration.

Speed & performance.

High-throughput execution on V8, optimised for concurrency. Suited to platforms that have to handle real traffic from day one.

Code reusability.

Logic, validation, and types shared across server, browser and mobile (via React Native). Less duplication, fewer surface areas to keep in sync.

Real-time & APIs.

WebSockets, server-sent events, GraphQL subscriptions, Bluetooth bridges — anywhere the system has to push, not poll.

Big data ingestion.

Streaming pipelines processing millions of records, outbound email at volume, IoT telemetry, log aggregation — Node’s event loop fits the job.

Quality assurance (QA).

Automated and non-automated testing, working closely with our engineering team — able to work integrated on our end-to-end offer, or as a service for clients that already have an engineering team.
