Backend Development

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.

API Styles

REST or GraphQL—We Build Both

Different products need different API styles. We help you choose the right approach and implement it properly.

REST

RESTful APIs

Industry standard

Resource-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

GraphQL APIs

Flexible queries

Query 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
What We Build

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.

api/users/route.ts
// 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.
