Backend &Cloud
A product is only as reliable as the systems behind it. We build the APIs, data models and infrastructure your application runs on — designed for the load it will actually carry, documented so your team can take it over, and deployed somewhere you control.
Reliable systems are boring on purpose, and that is the point
Backend work is judged on the days nothing happens. We design data models that survive changing requirements, write APIs your front end can depend on, and put the monitoring in place before you need it.
Every project ships with documentation and a handover: credentials, deployment steps and runbooks. You should never be locked in to the people who built it.
Our backend approach
Structure first, then code — the shape of the data decides how far the product can go.
Build the API & Services
Harden, Test & Instrument
Deploy, Document & Hand Over
Systems your team can actually run themselves.
We build on the stacks the industry maintains — Node and Laravel services, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, deployed behind Nginx on infrastructure you own. Nothing exotic that only its author understands.
Security is part of the build, not a review at the end: authentication, authorisation, input validation, rate limiting and secret management are in from the first commit.
What backend & cloud covers
From scoping to handover, the whole engagement.
- REST API design and versioning
- Database design and migrations
- Authentication and role-based access
- Third-party and payment integrations
- Background jobs and scheduling
- Deployment, Nginx and process management
- Logging, monitoring and alerting
- Documentation and team handover
Infrastructure decisions compound — the good ones quietly, the bad ones expensively
The cost of a backend is rarely the build; it is the year after. We optimise for the maintenance case: predictable structure, readable code and a deployment anyone on your team can perform.
When traffic grows, the work is tuning what exists rather than rewriting it — because the data model and the service boundaries were drawn to allow it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we own the infrastructure and the code?
Yes. It is deployed to accounts you own, with credentials handed to you, and the source is yours. We document the deployment so another team could take it over.
Can you work with our existing backend?
Often, yes. We start with a short review of the current system and tell you honestly whether extending it or replacing a part of it is the better use of your budget.
How long does a typical project take?
Most engagements ship a first usable release in 8–14 weeks depending on scope; larger platforms are delivered in phased milestones so you see working software from the first month.
What do I need to provide before we start?
A clear picture of your business goal and whoever owns the decision. Existing branding, content or systems help, but discovery and scoping are part of every project.
How much will it cost?
After a short discovery call we provide a fixed, itemized proposal — scope, timeline and cost — before any commitment.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. Every launch includes a stabilization period, and most clients continue with a monthly support and improvement retainer.
