A backend for a new app
Your mobile or web app needs accounts, data storage, notifications and an admin API built properly from the start.
APIs, data and infrastructure that stay dependable when usage grows.
A good backend is predictable: it answers quickly, fails gracefully, and tells you when something is wrong before your users do. We build services in Node.js, Go or Python depending on the job, on managed cloud services wherever that saves you operational work.

When teams call us
Scaling pains
Response times are creeping up and the database is struggling. You need someone to find the bottlenecks and fix them.
Integrations
Your product has to talk to payment providers, ERPs, logistics partners or government services reliably.
How the work runs
| Phase | Duration | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1Architecture | 1–2 weeks | Service map, data model, API contracts |
| 2Platform setup | 1–2 weeks | Environments, CI/CD, infrastructure as code |
| 3Service build | 2-week cycles | Endpoints with tests and documentation |
| 4Hardening | 1–2 weeks | Load tests, security review, runbooks |
Quality bar
Targets we agree before the first line of code
- p95 API response under 300 ms for core endpoints
- Automated tests on every endpoint before merge
- Secrets never in code, access by least privilege
- Restores tested, not just backups taken
In practice
Common questions
01Which cloud provider do you recommend?
Whichever fits your team and constraints. AWS and Google Cloud are our most common choices; for smaller products a managed platform can save a lot of operational effort.
02We have backend engineers in-house. How would we split the work?
Yes. We often join as extra capacity for a specific service or migration and follow your conventions and review process.
03How do you handle security?
Encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, dependency scanning in CI and a security review before launch. For regulated data we follow the standards you need to meet.
