API & Backend
We build the server-side systems that power your products — RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, microservices, database architectures, and third-party integrations. Clean, documented, and built to handle growth.

Overview
Your backend is the foundation everything else sits on. We build APIs and server-side systems that are clean, well-documented, properly secured, and designed to scale with your business. Whether you need a REST API for your mobile app, a GraphQL layer for your frontend, or a complete microservices architecture — we deliver production-ready code.
Every backend we build comes with comprehensive API documentation, proper error handling, authentication, rate limiting, and logging. We follow security best practices by default — not as an afterthought.
We work with the database and infrastructure that makes sense for your project. No one-size-fits-all solutions. You get architecture decisions explained in plain English so you understand what you're paying for and why.

Our Process
A predictable process means predictable outcomes. Here's how every engagement runs.
Discovery
We map out your data model, API requirements, and integration needs. You get a detailed technical specification.
Architecture
We design the system architecture, database schema, and API contracts. You review and approve before development.
Build
We develop the API with test coverage, following TDD practices. Regular demos against the API documentation.
Test
Integration testing, load testing, and security review. We validate every endpoint and edge case.
Deploy
We deploy to your infrastructure, set up monitoring, and verify production readiness.
Document
Complete API documentation, Postman collections, and architecture docs delivered with the source code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build a backend for my existing frontend or mobile app?
Absolutely. We'll review your existing frontend, understand the data requirements, and build an API that integrates seamlessly. We can work with any frontend framework or mobile platform.
Do you provide API documentation?
Every project includes complete API documentation — OpenAPI/Swagger spec, a Postman or Insomnia collection for testing, and architecture documentation explaining the system design.
What about database hosting costs?
Hosting and database costs are separate and billed directly by your provider. We'll recommend the most cost-effective option for your scale. Most projects start at $10-50/month for hosting and grow from there.
Can you migrate my existing API to a new framework or language?
Yes. API migrations typically fall under the Growth tier. We'll audit your existing API, plan the migration path, and execute it with zero downtime. Fill out the questionnaire with details about your current setup.
