Backend and APIs that hold up under load.

    Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL — production-ready APIs with proper documentation, auth, and infrastructure you can scale without panic.

    Overview

    A flaky backend shows up in your support queue. We build APIs that hold up under load — sub-100ms response times, proper error handling, and infrastructure that doesn't require a 2am deploy to scale.

    Node.js, Go, Python — we pick based on what your workload actually needs. High concurrency? Go. Data pipelines? Python. Existing JS team? Node. We're not attached to any stack.

    REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, microservices — we've built all of it. More importantly, we document everything with Swagger/OpenAPI so your frontend team doesn't have to guess.

    Backend Technologies

    What we build and the tools we use to build it

    Node.js & Express

    Fast, event-driven APIs perfect for real-time applications and high-concurrency scenarios.

    Go & Microservices

    Go-based services built for high-throughput, low-memory scenarios.

    Database Design

    PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis—optimized schemas and efficient query patterns.

    Authentication & Security

    JWT, OAuth2, role-based access control, and industry-standard security practices.

    Cloud Architecture

    AWS, GCP, Azure—scalable infrastructure with auto-scaling and load balancing.

    API Security

    Rate limiting, encryption, CORS, SQL injection prevention, and security audits.

    How we work

    Four phases. Fixed scope. You see working software every week.

    01

    Discovery

    We map what you actually need — not what sounds right in a doc. Scope, dependencies, and a week-by-week plan agreed before we write a line of code.

    02

    Design

    Architecture first. We spec the data model, API contracts, and component structure. Changes here cost hours — changes in week three cost weeks.

    03

    Development

    Weekly deploys to staging. You see working software every 7 days, not at the end of the project. If something's off, you catch it early.

    04

    Delivery

    We ship, then we document. You get production access, runbooks, and a handoff call. Support retainers available if you want us to stay involved.

    You have direct access to the engineer building your product — not an account manager. Weekly demos, async Slack channel, fixed price. No surprises on the invoice.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about this service

    We primarily work with Node.js/Express for JavaScript ecosystems, Go for high-performance services, and Python for data-heavy applications. Technology choice depends on your specific requirements—performance needs, team expertise, and scalability goals.

    We implement multiple security layers: JWT/OAuth2 authentication, role-based access control, rate limiting, input validation, SQL injection prevention, HTTPS enforcement, and regular security audits. All APIs follow OWASP best practices.

    We integrate with existing systems, databases, and third-party services. Whether you're on AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premise servers, we adapt our approach to your environment.

    We implement automated database migration systems using tools like Prisma or TypeORM, ensuring version-controlled schema changes. Backup strategies include automated daily backups, point-in-time recovery, and disaster recovery plans.
