API & Backend Development
The backend your product can depend on
A product is only as reliable as the services behind it. We design and build APIs, data models and backend systems with security, performance and clear documentation as defaults, so front ends and partners can integrate with confidence.
Capabilities
What we build
A good fit for
- Products that need one backend for web and mobile
- Teams with a front end and no backend capacity
- Platforms exposing APIs to partners
- 01
REST and GraphQL APIs
Consistent, versioned APIs with documentation that other teams can build on.
- 02
Data modelling
Relational and document schemas designed for integrity, query speed and growth.
- 03
Authentication and access
OAuth, JWT, SSO and fine-grained permission systems.
- 04
Third-party integrations
Payment gateways, messaging, ERPs, CRMs and webhooks handled reliably.
- 05
Real-time and background work
WebSockets, queues and scheduled jobs for live features and heavy processing.
- 06
Performance and security
Caching, rate limiting, input validation and monitoring from the first release.
Deliverables
What you get
A complete, documented system that your team owns, not a black box.
- API specification and documentation
- Backend services and database
- Authentication and authorisation layer
- Automated test suite
- Monitoring and logging setup
How the engagement runs

Discover
We learn the business, the users and the problem before discussing features.
- 02
Strategy
Scope, architecture and a release plan that gets value into users' hands early.
- 03
UX/UI Design
Flows, wireframes and a tested prototype, then the final interface and design system.
- 04
Development
Short sprints with a working demo at the end of each, on a codebase reviewed line by line.

Testing
Automated and manual testing across devices, plus performance and security checks.
- 06
Launch & Support
A planned release, monitoring from day one and a team that stays on after go-live.
