Back End Development

The engine behind your product, built to scale and to be maintained.

APIs, data models and server logic that stay reliable as usage grows.

The problem

Weak back ends cause slow pages, data errors and outages as the product grows.

How we build it

We model the data and the permissions first, then expose them through a small, well-documented API. Slow or unreliable work such as emails, imports and third-party calls goes to background queues from the start.

A complete production workflow.

01

API with documentation

Endpoints for each resource, with generated reference docs and example requests.

02

Database schema and migrations

A normalised model with versioned migrations and indexes chosen for your real queries.

03

Authentication and roles

Sign-in, token handling and per-role permissions enforced on the server.

04

Integrations and job queue

Connections to payment, email and partner systems, run through retryable background jobs.

Typical back end development work.

  • →An API for a mobile app and website
  • →Syncing orders with a partner system
  • →Handling large file imports reliably
  • →Replacing a fragile legacy service
How a project runs

Four steps, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    A short call about the goal and the first workflow or feature worth building.

  2. 02

    Written scope

    What is built, which tools it touches, what a person approves, and the timeline, agreed before work starts.

  3. 03

    Build and review

    Short iterations connected to your tools, reviewed with your team before anything ships.

  4. 04

    Launch and handoff

    Go-live with documentation and an owner on your side. You own what we build.

Built with the right tools, not every tool.

The exact stack follows the workflow, security requirements, existing systems, and deployment environment.

Expected outcomes

  • →A stable base for every client app
  • →Data rules enforced in one place
  • →Failures retried instead of lost
  • →Clear API documentation
  • →Room to scale traffic

Before we scope it.

Which language and database?

Mostly Node.js or Python with PostgreSQL and Redis. We choose based on your team and the workload, and we explain the reasoning.

Can you extend our existing API?

Yes. We read the code, add tests around the parts we touch, and extend it without breaking current clients.

How do you handle security?

We validate input, apply least-privilege access, store secrets safely and log sensitive actions. Findings from a review are written up for you.
