Backend & API development

The backend is where products quietly succeed or fail. We design services, APIs and data models that stay predictable as traffic grows and as more engineers start working in them.

We work mainly in Node.js and Python/Django on PostgreSQL, with event pipelines where work needs to happen asynchronously, and we document architecture decisions in writing so they survive staff changes.

What we do

Backend & APIs, end to end.

01

API design & build

REST and GraphQL APIs with versioning, authentication, rate limiting and documentation your frontend and partners can rely on.

02

Data modelling

Schemas and migrations in PostgreSQL or MongoDB designed for the queries you will actually run.

03

Integrations

Payments, CRMs, ERPs and third-party APIs, wrapped so their failures do not become yours.

04

Event & data pipelines

Queues, background jobs and ingestion pipelines for workloads like IoT telemetry and analytics.

How it runs

Four stages, demos every two weeks.

The same senior engineers stay with the project from discovery to support, and you own the code, infrastructure and accounts throughout.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map the problem, constraints and success metrics before a line of code exists.

  2. 02

    Design

    Flows, interfaces and system architecture, reviewed with you in short cycles.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints against a working staging environment you can use from day one.

  4. 04

    Ship & support

    Launch, monitoring and an ongoing maintenance window that does not expire on handover.

FAQ

Common questions.

Which backend languages and databases do you use?

Node.js (TypeScript) and Python/Django, with PostgreSQL as the default database and MongoDB where a document model fits better.

Can you scale our existing backend?

Yes. We profile where time and money actually go, then fix the bottlenecks — usually queries, caching and job queues — before reaching for a rewrite.

Do you write API documentation?

Yes. APIs ship with machine-readable specs and written guides, and architecture decisions are recorded so the next engineer understands why.
