How we approach it
Back-end & APIs
A back end is successful when nobody talks about it. Loads stay flat, jobs run on time, integrations do not silently fail at 2am, and a new developer can read the code six months later.
We design schemas, build REST and GraphQL APIs, wire third-party services and modernise the parts of a legacy system that have become a business risk. Our work spans PHP and Laravel through to Java, Spring Boot, Node.js and Python FastAPI.
You get documentation alongside the code: an endpoint reference, an entity diagram and a short note on every external dependency and what happens when it goes down.
What we deliver
Inside the engagement
A typical scope for this service. Yours will be narrower — that is the point of a written scope.
Database modelling
Normalised schemas, sensible indexes and migration history in PostgreSQL or MySQL — plus a backup and restore plan that has been tested.
Authentication & permissions
Role-based access, SSO, token refresh and audit trails, implemented once and reused across web and mobile clients.
Third-party integrations
Payments, WhatsApp, SMS, email, maps, accounting and ERP systems — with retries, logging and graceful failure instead of silent drops.
Background jobs & queues
Scheduled reports, imports and notifications that run reliably without blocking a user's request.
Legacy modernisation
A incremental path off ageing PHP or Java code: strangle the risky parts first, keep the business running throughout.

Before you hire us
The questions we get most often about this work. If yours is not here, email and we will answer personally.
Yes. We start with a read-only audit: architecture, database, dependencies, security and test coverage. You get a written risk list and a prioritised plan before we change a single line.
Frequently. Mobile and web clients usually share one API, so we design it for both from the start: stable contracts, offline-friendly payloads and token-based auth.
Parameterised queries, input validation, least-privilege database users, secrets outside the repository, dependency updates and rate limiting. For payments we never store card data — that stays with the gateway.
A focused API with a handful of resources starts around USD 3,000. Larger systems with integrations, queues and an admin layer typically run USD 8,000–30,000. We price fixed scope, not open-ended hours.
Always. You receive an endpoint reference, example requests and responses, environment setup notes and a deployment runbook as part of the handover.
