I will develop your rest api and backend in node js or python


About this gig
Your app needs a back-end that won't fall over the first time two people use it at once.
I build REST APIs in Node.js (Express, NestJS) or Python (FastAPI, Django) with PostgreSQL, MySQL or MongoDB behind them. Authentication, roles, validation, error handling, and documentation that someone else can actually follow.
What you get:
- Clean endpoints with proper HTTP status codes
- A database schema designed before a line is written, not improvised
- JWT authentication and role-based permissions where you need them
- Input validation and sensible error messages
- A Postman collection so your front-end developer can start immediately
- README with setup and environment variables
I also connect to what you already use: Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio, OpenAI, Google APIs, or any documented third-party service.
Deployment to Railway, Render, Fly.io or your own VPS available on the Premium package.
Send me what your app has to do I'll come back with the endpoint list and a fixed price before you order.

FAQ
Can you work with my existing database?
Yes. Send me the schema, or read access to a copy, and I build on top of it rather than replacing it.
Who owns the code?
You do, entirely. You get the repository, the environment variables and a README, and any other developer can pick it up from there.
Node.js or Python — which should I pick?
If your front-end is JavaScript, Node keeps everything in one language. If there's heavy data processing or machine learning, Python. Not sure? Tell me what the app does and I'll choose.
What about security?
Input validation, hashed passwords, JWT with expiry, no secrets in the repository. I'll flag anything in your requirements that would create a risk before I build it.
