Definition: Nearshore software development is the practice of working with engineers based in nearby countries that share or closely overlap the client's time zone, such as Latin America for US companies.
A company adds engineers or a team from a neighboring region. Because working hours overlap, they join the same standups, code reviews and planning sessions as the in-house team and can respond during the same business day. Engagements can follow staff augmentation, a dedicated team or a project model.
Onshore means the same country, usually at the highest cost. Offshore means distant regions with large time differences and often lower rates. Nearshore sits between: real-time collaboration with cost advantages over onshore hiring. The right choice depends on how much live collaboration the work needs.
Look at engineering seniority and vetting, English communication, time-zone overlap, security practices, IP ownership terms and how quickly a provider can replace someone who is not the right fit.
