Backend Engineering
Backend & APIs
APIs and services that stay up under load, scale cleanly, and stay simple to change.
- Node.js
- Python
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- GraphQL
Overview
What we do here
The backend is where products quietly succeed or fail. We design APIs and data models that hold up as you grow — clean contracts, sensible auth, caching where it counts, and monitoring so you find out about problems before your users do. AI helps us move faster on the boilerplate and edge cases, so more of the timeline goes into getting the architecture right.
Why it matters
What you actually get
Scales without a rewrite
Data models and caching designed for where you're going, so growth is a config change, not a rebuild.
Secure by default
Auth, roles, rate limiting, and input validation built in from the start — not patched on after an incident.
You see problems first
Monitoring and error tracking mean you hear about issues from a dashboard, not an angry customer.
What's included
Everything in the box
API design
Well-structured REST and GraphQL APIs with clear contracts, versioning, and documentation your team can build against.
Auth, roles & payments
Secure authentication, fine-grained permissions, and Stripe or other payment flows, done right.
Data & caching
Schema design, indexing, and Redis caching tuned for real query patterns and real load.
Monitoring & reliability
Structured logging, error tracking, and alerting so reliability is measured, not assumed.
How we work
From first call to live
- 01
Model the domain
We map your data and workflows before writing endpoints, so the shape is right from the start.
- 02
Design the contract
Clear API contracts and auth model agreed up front, so frontend and mobile can build in parallel.
- 03
Build & load-test
Incremental delivery with testing under realistic load, so surprises happen in staging, not production.
- 04
Observe & scale
We ship with monitoring in place and scale the hot paths as your traffic grows.
Questions
Good to know
REST or GraphQL?
Both are fine choices — we pick based on your clients and team. Many products end up with REST for simplicity and GraphQL where flexible querying pays off.
Can you work with our existing database?
Yes. We can build on top of what you have, improve the schema incrementally, and add caching and indexes without a risky migration.
How do you handle security?
Auth, least-privilege roles, validation, rate limiting, and secrets management are standard. For regulated work we go further with audits and hardening.
What about payments?
We integrate Stripe and similar providers including subscriptions, webhooks, and reconciliation, with the edge cases handled.
