Backend & API Engineering
Robust, scalable server-side systems and APIs your business can build on.
Overview
We design and build the backbone of your digital products: high-performance backends and well-documented APIs that stay reliable as you scale. From REST and GraphQL to event-driven microservices, we engineer systems that are fast, observable, and secure by default.
Whether you are launching a new platform or modernising a legacy monolith, we focus on clean architecture, strong test coverage, and predictable performance under real-world load.
What we deliver
API design
Clean, versioned REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs with first-class documentation.
Microservices
Modular services or well-structured monoliths, sized to your team and domain.
Auth & access
OAuth2, JWT, and role-based access control built in from day one.
Data layer
Schema design, indexing, and query optimisation for speed and integrity.
Scale patterns
Caching, queues, and rate limiting to absorb spikes gracefully.
Observability
Structured logging, metrics, and tracing so nothing runs blind.
Technologies we use
Where it fits
- New product backends
- Legacy system modernisation
- Public and partner API platforms
- High-throughput data services
How we work
Discovery & Architecture
We map your goals, constraints, users, and threat model, then design a clear technical architecture and a realistic delivery roadmap.
Build & Integrate
Our engineers develop in tested, reviewable increments and integrate cleanly with your existing systems, data, and third-party providers.
Audit & Harden
Every release passes code review, automated testing, and security hardening before it is allowed anywhere near production.
Deploy & Support
We ship to production with monitoring, documentation, and knowledge transfer, then support the solution so it keeps performing.
Frequently asked questions
REST or GraphQL for our API?
We recommend based on your clients and data shape: REST for simple, cacheable resources, GraphQL when clients need flexible queries. Often a hybrid is the best answer, and we will help you decide.
How long does a typical engagement take?
It depends on scope, but most projects go from discovery to a first production release within 4 to 12 weeks, delivered as reviewable increments so you see progress early.
Do you work with our existing team and stack?
Yes. We integrate with your engineers, tools, and infrastructure, follow your conventions, and hand over clean documentation so your team stays fully in control.
