Going step further to find a right fit.

I was impressed by the detail with which the feedback was taken and selection of candidates provided to fit our startup. not a lot of firms care about the details, but they are doing a phenomenal job to find the right fit. would recommend anyone at the early stage as its extremely important to get the right candidates who define the company culture

If your looking to find top developer resource, Lemon.io is the place.

Lemon.io has been a game changer for us. Speed, clarity, and quality were there from day one, but what really impressed me was how much they care about getting the right fit, not just filling a role.

We had some specific requirements, and the candidates surfaced were consistently high quality and well aligned. The team checked in regularly, handled onboarding smoothly, and genuinely went the extra mile to keep things simple.

It’s rare to find a service that combines great talent with great people. Lemon.io absolutely does both, and we’ll be continuing to work with them. Diana is a superstar.

Lemon cares a tremendous amount about finding high quality developers that are the right long term fit. We had some specific requirements and Iryna was able to find some great options that were all really qualified. They checked in several times during the engagement and made sure the start and kickoff for the dev was well handled. Will be planning on working with them well into the future.

Special shoutout to Diana Tereshchenko who is fantastic and I was lucky to work with her.

Building our tech startup would not have been possible without Lemon.

We’ve been working for ~1.5 year with one of their full stack engineer from Brazil, Matheus, whom we strongly recommend. As 2 co-founders looking for moving our prototype product to a production level, Lemon has been amazing at guiding us through the selection process and then ongoingly whenever we had any questions or requests (thank you Andrew Bondar) – definitely recommend.

FAQs about hiring Bun developers

Why do I need a Bun specialist instead of a general JavaScript developer?

Bun differs from Node.js in several practical ways (package resolution, test-runner compatibility, bundling model, and some async/I/O edge cases), and engineers with Bun production experience avoid common friction and debugging surprises faster. Engineers who’ve worked through those differences in production ship faster and make fewer assumptions that cost you debugging time later.

How much does it cost to hire a Bun developer through Lemon.io?

Rates at Lemon.io run from $35–$90/hr, depending on seniority, the breadth of the stack (whether you need TypeScript, frontend, backend development, or all three), and hours per week. Most engagements are 20–40 hours per week.

Is Bun production-ready?

For most web development and API work, yes. Bun has been in stable release since 1.0, and teams are running it in production. The honest caveat is that Node.js compatibility isn’t at 100%. Native addons and some niche npm packages still cause issues. A good Bun engineer knows where those edges are and how to handle them.

How does Bun compare to Deno?

Both Deno and Bun offer native TypeScript-first runtimes. Deno emphasizes a stronger permission model and security posture, Bun emphasizes raw performance and an all‑in‑one toolkit with growing npm compatibility, and for a startup prioritizing speed and DX over sandboxing, Bun is often the more practical choice, while Deno suits strict-permission environments.

How fast will Lemon.io match us with a Bun developer?

80% of matches close within 24 hours, and many finish in under 10. You submit your requirements, stack, hours per week, and domain. Lemon.io filters the vetted network, and you receive 1–3 candidates. If you need a replacement for any reason, that also comes within 24–48 hours.

Can a Bun developer work inside our existing Node.js project?

Yes. That’s one of the most common situations. Bun is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Node.js in most cases, and many teams adopt it incrementally. Engineers from Lemon.io with Bun experience typically have strong Node.js backgrounds and know how to onboard new hires into a codebase mid-migration without breaking things.

What types of companies benefit most from hiring Bun developers?

Software development teams building high-volume APIs, real-time products, or serverless infrastructure get the clearest returns. That includes SaaS platforms, developer tools companies, fintech backends, and any startup where compute costs and build speed are active concerns. Bun also increasingly shows up in frontend build workflows for teams that want to cut toolchain dependencies without switching frameworks or rewriting use cases.

What skills should I look for in a Bun developer?

Look for engineers who know the full toolkit. A qualified Bun developer understands how JavaScriptCore handles async behavior differently from V8, has debugged real compatibility gaps with npm dependencies, and has used Bun’s bundler, package manager, and test runner in production. TypeScript fluency is crucial, too.

For products with real-time features, check the WebSocket experience specifically. Bun has a built-in server that removes the need for Socket.IO entirely. Experience with GitHub CI workflows, incremental migration, and frontend bundling for HTML and React projects can also be useful.
