FAQ
Do I need to provide the frontend, or can you build that too?
I focus on backend development in this gig, but I also build the frontend if needed — check out my full stack MERN gig for complete app development, or message me to combine both.
Can you work with my existing codebase?
Yes, I can extend or fix an existing Node.js/Express backend, or build a new one from scratch — just share your repo (GitHub or ZIP) and requirements.
What kind of authentication do you implement?
I typically use JWT-based authentication with role-based access control (admin, user, etc.), but I can also set up session-based auth if that fits your project better.
Do you provide API documentation?
Yes, documentation (via Postman collection or Swagger) is included in the Standard and Premium packages so your team or frontend developer can easily use the API.
Can you integrate third-party services like payment gateways or email APIs?
Yes — Stripe, JazzCash, SendGrid, Twilio, and similar integrations are available. Let's discuss your specific requirement so I can include it in the right package.
Will the API be deployed, or do I need to handle hosting myself?
I can deploy the API on Railway, Render, or your preferred hosting platform. I'll also guide you through environment setup and configuration.
Can you optimize an existing slow API?
Yes, performance optimization (query optimization, caching, indexing) is available — message me with details about your current setup.
