Structured hours on your logs, traces, and repro steps. We document root cause and a repair path your team can ship.
Session detailsDurban · Remote engagements
When your Node.js service misbehaves in production, you need someone who reads heap snapshots—not slide decks.
Node Grove is a programming consultancy focused on back-end Node.js work: tracing elusive bugs, hardening APIs, and pairing with your engineers until the incident is understood and fixed.
Where teams usually call us in
Most engagements start after a deploy, a traffic spike, or a migration that looked fine in staging. We narrow the problem before anyone rewrites the service.
Back-end code review
Focused review of routes, data access, and error handling before a high-risk release or audit window.
Review scopeAPI boundary work
Contract mismatches, pagination bugs, and auth edge cases between Node services and upstream clients.
Boundary consultingA recent week on a payment webhook queue
A fintech team in Johannesburg saw duplicate settlement events after scaling workers. We mapped the Bull queue configuration, found a stale Redis lock TTL, and paired with their lead to add idempotency keys—without pausing payouts over a weekend. They kept us on for two follow-up reviews of their retry policy.
Field notes from the back end
Short guides written for engineers maintaining Node services day to day.
