How to Build Scalable Web Apps with Node.js and Microservices

Scaling isn’t a luxury, it's a necessity.

Whether you're building an MVP or preparing for hypergrowth, your backend needs to be ready.

In this guide, we break down how we use Node.js + Microservices to build scalable web applications for fast-growing startups and tech teams.


Topics We Cover:

  • Monolith vs Microservices: When to choose what
  • Node.js architecture blueprint (with Docker, Kafka, API Gateway, Kubernetes)
  • Real-world example: Building a ride-sharing backend
  • Node.js best practices for async, stateless, fail-safe scale
  • Common scaling mistakes to avoid

Who This Is For:

  • Technical founders building for scale
  • Full-stack teams working on backend architecture
  • Devs planning to go from MVP to production-ready systems
