Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire Node.js developers vs Node.js agency?

CelloIP Node devs start at $25/hr vs $60-130/hr for agencies. Identical skill level, 50-75% savings without agency markup overhead.

How do we use modesl npm to control FreeSWITCH?

modesl is Node.js ESL library that connects to FreeSWITCH via event socket. You listen to events and send commands. Perfect for predictive diallers, call control, and IVR logic.

What's the modesl npm package and how does it work?

modesl is the official Node.js ESL binding. It lets Node.js apps control FreeSWITCH in real-time. Our developers use it for everything from call routing to advanced IVR.

What async patterns should we use for VoIP event handling?

Use async/await with event emitters. Avoid callback hell. Handle errors gracefully because network delays happen. Our devs use Promise.allSettled for concurrent event processing.

How do we scale Node.js with PM2 clustering?

PM2 handles auto-restart, clustering, and monitoring. For VoIP: use PM2 cluster mode with sticky sessions. Configure graceful reload to avoid dropping calls.

Node.js vs Python for VoIP backend - which is better?

Node.js excels at real-time and WebSocket. Python is better for ML/AI. For pure VoIP control, Node.js is faster. We'd recommend Node.js for your use case.
