We build the part that runs behind the screen
Backend Development
We build the server, API, and database to fit your service
The server your users never see decides most of the speed and stability they do feel.
When you have the screens but nothing behind them
You have the app or web screens, but no server to store and load the data. Or you have one, and as users grow it slows down, the data tangles, and permissions start to leak. Backend is the part where a bad first design means rewriting the whole thing later.
What we do
-
API design and build
We build the API your app and web call. We keep the names and conventions consistent so it still works as is when another screen is added later.
-
Database design
We lay out the structure for what gets stored and how. Get it right at the start and the data doesn't tangle and doesn't slow down as it grows.
-
Login and permissions
We set up sign-up, login, and who is allowed to do what. This is the part that keeps one user's data from leaking to another.
-
Ready for growing traffic
We design it to hold whether ten people use it or ten thousand. We spot the bottlenecks ahead of time and keep the bill from spiking out of nowhere.
What you get handed
Which APIs exist, how the data is stored, and where the server and keys live, written up. Organized so a front-end developer or whoever comes next can connect to it without knowing the server.
How to start
-
Share what you need
Tell us what service you're building the back of, and what data to store and features to call.
-
Design and quote
We lay out the data structure and the list of APIs first, then set out the scope, cost, and timeline.
-
Build, connect, hand off
We build the agreed scope, connect it to the app or web, and hand it off with documentation.
A good fit for
- Anyone who built the screens but now needs a server running behind them
- Teams whose current server is slowing down or tangling as users grow
- Anyone who wants the database designed properly from the start
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from third-party integration?
- Integration is connecting an external service that already exists, like payments or notifications. This service is building your own server that stores and handles your data from scratch.
- What technology do you build with?
- We don't fix on one. We weigh the size of the service and its future upkeep and pick what fits. We favor common technology that's easy to hire for later.
- Do you handle maintenance after it's built?
- Yes. Server checks, backups, and security updates can continue as Site Maintenance.
What server do you need?
Tell us the service you're building and the data to store, and we'll start by laying out the structure and scope.
