We design and build REST and GraphQL APIs, authentication, database schemas, and third-party integrations — backend architecture built to be integrated against, not just to work in a demo.
REST and GraphQL APIs, authentication, and database design that hold up under real concurrent traffic — designed to be integrated against by your own team, partners, or a mobile app you haven't built yet.
Well-documented, versioned APIs designed around how your frontend and partners actually need to query data, not a raw database dump.
OAuth2, JWT, and role-based authorization implemented correctly the first time, with rate limiting and input validation on every endpoint.
Schemas normalized for integrity and indexed for the queries that will run most, on PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB depending on your data shape.
A contract-first approach means your frontend and integration partners can build against the API before every endpoint is finished.
We map the entities, relationships, and access patterns your API needs to support before writing an endpoint.
Endpoints and schemas are specified up front — OpenAPI for REST, schema-first for GraphQL — so consumers can build in parallel.
The service is implemented against the agreed contract, with automated tests covering the business logic, not just the happy path.
Load testing and integration testing against real client applications before anything reaches production.
The API ships with logging, error tracking, and uptime monitoring in place from day one.
A backend your team, partners, or a future mobile app can build against with confidence.
OpenAPI or GraphQL schema documentation, not tribal knowledge.
Authentication, authorization, and input validation on every route.
Indexed, normalized data design tuned to real query patterns.
Payment, email, and partner API integrations built and tested.
Answers to what prospective clients ask us most before starting a project.
REST is our default for most APIs — it's simpler to cache, document, and debug. GraphQL earns its complexity when clients need to query flexible, deeply nested data (like a mobile app assembling one screen from many resources) and over-fetching becomes a real cost.
Yes. We regularly build backends and APIs that a separate frontend team — in-house or another agency — integrates against. We work from an agreed API contract so both teams can build in parallel.
Most commonly OAuth2 or JWT-based authentication with role-based authorization, and SSO/SAML when enterprise customers require it. The exact approach depends on whether you're authenticating end users, partner systems, or both.
PostgreSQL and MySQL for most relational data, and MongoDB when the data is naturally document-shaped or the access patterns don't fit a relational model well. We choose based on your actual data, not by default.
Tell us who needs to consume the API and what data it touches — we'll come back with a contract, architecture, and delivery timeline.
Contracts agreed before a single endpoint is built.
