Backend & API

Scalable infrastructure that handles 10× your current traffic.

We architect and build backend systems that are fast, secure, and maintainable. From database design and API development through authentication, caching, and deployment pipelines — every layer is engineered for reliability at scale. Your backend should never be the bottleneck.

FAQ

Common questions.

What database do you recommend?

PostgreSQL for most applications. It handles relational data, JSON, full-text search, and vector embeddings. We use Prisma as the ORM for type-safe queries and automatic migrations.

Can you work with our existing backend?

Yes. We can extend existing APIs, migrate legacy systems to modern architectures, or build new services that integrate with your current infrastructure.

How do you handle authentication?

We implement Clerk, NextAuth.js, or custom auth depending on your requirements. Every implementation includes OAuth, JWT, role-based access control, and optional MFA.

What about scalability?

We architect for 10× your current traffic from day one. This includes database indexing, caching layers (Redis), CDN configuration, and horizontal scaling capabilities.
