Backend Systems

The code that runs on servers—APIs, services, and the business logic that makes your product work.

What We Build

Backend development is our core strength. We've built systems across industries, scales, and technology stacks.

🔌

APIs

REST, GraphQL, gRPC—well-designed interfaces that are usable, documented, and evolvable.

⚙️

Services

Individual services or distributed systems, designed with appropriate boundaries and clear contracts.

💾

Data Access

Database integration, caching strategies, and data layer design that performs and scales.

🔄

Integrations

Connecting your systems to external services, third-party APIs, and legacy systems.

What Good Backend Engineering Looks Like

The backend nobody notices is the backend that's working well.

🏃

Fast

Response times that users don't notice. Performance considered from the start, not bolted on later.

🛡️

Reliable

Systems that stay up, handle errors gracefully, and recover from failures without data loss.

🔒

Secure

Authentication, authorization, and data protection built into the architecture.

📖

Maintainable

Code that your team can understand, modify, and extend without fear.

How We Work

Engineering practices that produce quality outcomes.

📐

Design First

We think through the architecture before writing code. Data models, API contracts, and system boundaries are planned.

🧪

Testing Built In

Unit tests, integration tests, and contract tests give confidence in changes and catch regressions.

📊

Observable

Logging, metrics, and tracing that let you understand what's happening in production.

📚

Documented

API documentation, architectural decision records, and runbooks that survive team changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What languages do you work in?

+

We’re polyglot—TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java. We’ll recommend what fits your team and requirements, not what we prefer.

Monolith or microservices?

+

Depends on your team size, deployment needs, and growth trajectory. Monoliths are often right for early stages. We’ll help you choose appropriately.

How do you handle legacy code?

+

Carefully. We assess what exists, identify the highest-value improvements, and refactor incrementally. Big-bang rewrites usually fail.

Do you write tests?

+

Yes. Testing is part of professional software development. We write the tests that provide confidence without becoming a maintenance burden.
