Backend, APIs & Data
The foundation everything else is built on.
We design reliable, high-performance backends and REST/GraphQL APIs — secure, well-documented, and built to serve your web, mobile, and AI surfaces without constraint.
Talk to us about thisEvery product surface — web, mobile, AI, external integrations — is only as solid as the backend underneath it. A poorly designed API becomes a constraint that limits every future feature and breaks every new integration.
We design backends that are explicit about their contracts, honest about their failure modes, and structured to absorb growth — not fight it.
What we design and build
REST APIs
Versioned, documented, and consistent — designed around your domain model with predictable error shapes and authentication that doesn't surprise API consumers.
GraphQL APIs
Schema-first design with efficient resolvers, query depth limits, and pagination patterns that work at scale without N+1 problems.
Event-driven systems
Message queues, pub/sub patterns, and async processing for workloads that don't need to block the request — decoupled and resilient by design.
Database architecture
Schema design, indexing strategy, query optimization, and migration workflows — for relational and document stores, with connection pooling done right.
Background jobs & workers
Scheduled tasks, retry logic, dead letter queues, and job observability — so async work doesn't fail silently and queue backlogs are visible.
Integrations & webhooks
Third-party API integrations with proper error handling, idempotency, rate limit awareness, and outbound webhook delivery guarantees.
Security is not a feature. It's the contract.
Input validation, parameterized queries, rate limiting, proper CORS policies, secret management — these are not items we add at the end of the checklist. They are requirements we design around from the first endpoint. An API that leaks data or accepts malformed input isn't done, regardless of whether it passes functional tests.
How we approach backend systems
Domain modeling first
Before writing routes, we model the domain — the entities, relationships, and invariants your business logic depends on. Clean models make clean APIs.
Contract-driven development
API contracts defined up front in OpenAPI or GraphQL schema — so frontend and mobile teams can build in parallel without waiting on implementation.
Built to be operated
Structured logging, distributed tracing, health checks, and meaningful error messages — so when something goes wrong in production, operators know what happened.
Load-tested before launch
We test under realistic concurrency before go-live — because discovering throughput limits in production is a bad way to find out about them.
