Backend & API Development

Backend systems that handle real load โ€” built to stay reliable when everything else is under pressure.

APIs, authentication, databases, admin panels, payment flows, reporting dashboards, and integration pipelines. The layer that keeps your product functioning reliably under real-world conditions.

What we cover

Everything included in this service.

All capabilities delivered by the same team โ€” no sub-contracting, no handoffs, no gaps.

Database Architecture

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis โ€” schema design, query optimisation, indexing strategy and migration management for production systems.

REST & GraphQL APIs

Well-documented, versioned APIs with rate limiting, authentication, error handling and OpenAPI/Swagger specs included as standard.

Authentication & Auth

JWT, OAuth2, social login, role-based access control, MFA, session management and secure token refresh flows.

Payment Integrations

Stripe, PayPal, Paddle and regional payment gateway integration with webhook handling, subscription management and refund flows.

Webhooks & Integrations

Third-party API integrations, webhook receivers, event queues and data transformation pipelines between internal and external systems.

Admin Panels & Dashboards

Internal tooling, operational dashboards, reporting systems and content management backends built around how your team actually works.

How we work

A process built around your timeline, not ours.

We run a structured process that keeps you informed without drowning you in meetings. You get updates when there's something worth showing โ€” and honest feedback when scope needs adjusting.

Technical specification

Data models, API surface, authentication strategy and infrastructure choices documented before any code.

Core services build

Auth, data layer and core API endpoints built and tested. Integration test suite established from week one.

Integration & load testing

Third-party connections, payment flows and webhook handling wired and load tested against expected traffic.

Documentation & handover

Full API documentation, database schema, environment variables and deployment runbook handed over with source code.
