Backend & API Systems

What we do?

API-First Architecture: We design RESTful, GraphQL or WebSocket APIs that serve as the single source of truth for your frontend, mobile and third-party integrations.
Cloud-Native Patterns: Containerised microservices or serverless functions (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Run) for automatic scaling and cost efficiency.
Secure Authentication & Authorisation: JWT/OAuth2, single sign-on or custom identity flows, with role-based access controls to protect sensitive endpoints.
Data Modelling & Storage: Optimised SQL/NoSQL schemas, caching layers (Redis), and managed databases to ensure fast, reliable data access under load.
Performance Optimisation: Rate limiting, request throttling, circuit breakers and horizontal scaling to maintain responsiveness at peak traffic.
Monitoring & Observability: Integrated logging, metrics, and alerts (CloudWatch, Grafana/Prometheus, Azure Monitor) so you detect issues early and optimise continuously.
Versioning & Backward Compatibility: API version strategies that let you evolve features without breaking existing clients.
Seamless Third-Party Integrations: Payment gateways, CRMs, messaging platforms, analytics tools—wired into your backend with robust error handling and retry logic.
Extensibility & Maintainability: Modular codebases, clear documentation, and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi) to simplify future enhancements or microservice additions.

Consistent API performance under variable loads, ensuring reliability even at peak traffic.
Clear, versioned API contracts for all client applications, simplifying integration and evolution.
Seamless integrations that reduce manual workflows and improve data consistency across systems.
Enhanced security posture and compliance readiness, with audit trails and best-practice controls in place.
Faster iteration cycles and dependable releases, enabling your team to respond quickly to new requirements.

Cloud Expertise: We architect with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud best practices in mind—selecting the right mix of serverless, containers, and managed services.
Security-First Approach: From design through deployment, we prioritise secure coding, secret management, and routine vulnerability assessments.
DevOps Integration: Automated CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and proactive monitoring ensure deployments are smooth and updates are safe.
Modular & Documented: Clear API specifications (OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas), modular codebases, and thorough documentation empower your team to extend or maintain services easily.
Ongoing Optimisation: After launch, we analyse metrics, tune performance, and recommend improvements—keeping your backend lean and responsive as usage grows.

Discovery & Architecture: Assess requirements, data flows, security constraints; propose cloud-native architecture.
Implementation & Testing: Develop APIs, data models, authentication flows; write automated tests (unit, integration, load).
Deployment & Monitoring: Set up CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, monitoring dashboards, and alerting.
Post-Launch Support: Continuous performance tuning, security reviews, and feature enhancements under a flexible support plan.
