Backend & API Development

Robust Node.js APIs, databases, and integrations — authentication, payments, and background jobs engineered to stay up under load.

Timeline: 3–10 weeksEngagement: Fixed scope or sprint-basedStack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis

What this service covers

The parts users never see decide whether your product survives success. We design data models that won’t need rewriting in a year, APIs your frontend team will enjoy consuming, and infrastructure with observability from day one.

Security is baked in — parameterized queries, least-privilege credentials, audited dependencies — not bolted on before launch.

What’s included

  • REST or GraphQL API design with versioned contracts
  • PostgreSQL or MongoDB schema design and migrations
  • Auth, sessions, roles, and social login
  • Stripe and subscription billing integration
  • Queues, cron jobs, webhooks, and email pipelines
  • Logging, error tracking, and uptime monitoring

How we deliver

01

Model

We design the data model and API contract first, reviewed with your team before any implementation.

02

Implement

Endpoints ship behind tests with seed data and docs, so frontend work can run in parallel.

03

Harden

Load testing, security review, backup drills, and runbooks — then production with monitoring on.

Why teams choose this

Startups hire us to avoid the classic rewrite: a backend that scales to the first hundred thousand users without drama. Agencies bring us in for the API half of a project while they own the frontend. Everyone gets the same thing — boring reliability, which is the highest compliment infrastructure can earn.

Questions, answered

We default to REST for its simplicity and cacheability, and reach for GraphQL when clients need flexible, aggregated queries. We’ll recommend based on your consumers, not fashion.

Wherever you prefer — we deploy to all major clouds and PaaS platforms with infrastructure-as-code, so environments are reproducible and documented.

Yes — Stripe one-offs, subscriptions, trials, coupons, and webhooks, tested end-to-end in sandbox before a cent moves in production.

Monitoring and alerting ship with the project. A care plan covers dependency updates, backups verification, and on-call response.
