Backend API DevelopmentThat Powers Your Product
Your frontend is only as good as the API behind it. We build fast, secure, and well-documented APIs that power web apps, mobile apps, and third-party integrations.
REST or GraphQL—We Build Both
Different products need different API styles. We help you choose the right approach and implement it properly.
RESTful APIs
Industry standardResource-based APIs with predictable endpoints, proper HTTP methods, and clear conventions. Easy to understand, cache, and integrate with.
- Simple, predictable structure
- Great for CRUD operations
- Easy caching with HTTP
- Wide tooling support
- Familiar to most developers
GraphQL APIs
Flexible queriesQuery exactly the data you need in a single request. Great for complex data relationships and mobile apps where bandwidth matters.
- Request exactly what you need
- Single endpoint for all data
- Strong typing and validation
- Great for complex relationships
- Built-in documentation
Complete Backend Solutions
APIs are more than just endpoints. We build the complete backend—authentication, database design, business logic, integrations, and deployment.
Authentication & Authorization
JWT, OAuth, API keys, and role-based access control. Secure your endpoints properly.
Database Design
Proper schema design, indexing, and query optimization for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
Third-Party Integrations
Connect to payment providers, email services, analytics, and any API you need.
API Documentation
OpenAPI/Swagger specs, auto-generated docs, and examples that make integration easy.
// Clean, documented API endpoints
export async function GET(request) {
const users = await db.user.findMany({
select: {
id: true,
name: true,
email: true,
createdAt: true
},
orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' }
});
return Response.json({
data: users,
meta: { total: users.length }
});
}
export async function POST(request) {
const body = await request.json();
// Validate input
const validated = userSchema.parse(body);
// Create user with hashed password
const user = await db.user.create({
data: {
...validated,
password: await hash(validated.password)
}
});
return Response.json({ data: user },
{ status: 201 });

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use REST or GraphQL?
REST is simpler and works well for most CRUD applications. GraphQL shines when you have complex, nested data or need to minimize API calls (mobile apps). We'll help you decide based on your specific needs.
How do you handle API versioning?
We typically use URL versioning (v1, v2) for major changes and backward-compatible updates for minor changes. We plan the versioning strategy upfront to avoid breaking changes.
What about real-time features?
We implement WebSockets or Server-Sent Events for real-time features like chat, notifications, or live updates. We can also integrate with services like Pusher or Ably.
Do you build microservices?
We can, but we often recommend starting with a well-structured monolith. Microservices add complexity that most startups don't need initially. We design for easy extraction later.
