Workload fit
Separate request coordination from CPU-intensive or long-running work.

Node.js Backend Engineering
Node.js is effective for I/O-heavy product services when concurrency, resource limits, failure handling, and operational visibility are designed explicitly.
How we use it
A technology choice is useful only when it improves the product or its operation.
We use Node.js for application services that coordinate databases, APIs, events, files, and user-facing workflows. CPU-heavy computation is isolated or delegated instead of being allowed to block request handling.
Architecture decisions
Concurrency
Protect dependencies with timeouts, limits, queues, and backpressure.

Failure semantics
Define retries, idempotency, dead letters, and compensation before integrations fail in production.
