The part behind the screen, built to last
Database, API and integrations, built to last and handed over documented.
We build the layer users never see: database design, REST and webhook APIs, authentication, payment and third party integrations, background jobs, and logging that tells you when something broke. Yours on your accounts, documented well enough that another developer can pick it up.
Is it a fit?
Volume
The same record moves between two systems many times a week, not a few times a year.
Ownership
One system is allowed to be right about that record, and everybody agrees which.
Failure
You can say what should happen when a payment or a webhook arrives twice.
What you get
APIs other systems can use
Endpoints and webhooks with real documentation, versioning and clear errors, so the next integration takes days rather than weeks.
A database that holds up
Schema designed for how the business reads and writes, indexed for the queries you run, with migrations tracked.
Payments and third party services
Checkout, subscriptions, invoicing, shipping, accounting and CRM connections, wired through the payment gateway and tools you already pay for.
Handover, not dependency
Your repository, your accounts, written setup notes. You can replace us and nothing stops working.
A backend is a promise about what happens when things go wrong
Most backend work looks identical on a good day. The difference shows the first time a payment webhook arrives twice, a third party goes down for an hour, or a report asks for two years of records at once. One system logs the duplicate and ignores it. The other charges the customer twice, and nobody finds out until the complaint arrives.
So the work is mostly about the edges. Retries that do not double charge. Jobs that can be run again safely. Errors that name the record that failed. A schema that still answers questions the business has not asked yet. None of that shows in a demo, and all of it is what you are buying.
Most of this work becomes visible to your team as an admin dashboard.
Questions we get
Do you work with our existing backend?
Usually yes. Most jobs start by reading what is there and fixing the two things that break most often, not by rewriting everything.
Which stack do you build on?
Whatever your team can maintain. If you have no team yet, we use the widely known options, so hiring later is easy and nobody inherits a puzzle.
Can you build an API for a front end somebody else wrote?
Yes, and it is a common shape. A designer or agency has the interface, and it needs something real behind it.
Who owns the code?
You do, in your own repository, from the first commit.
Do you handle payments?
Yes. Checkout, subscriptions, refunds and invoicing through your payment gateway, plus the accounting connection so the numbers reconcile.
What about documentation?
It ships with the work: a setup guide, the API reference, and a short note on what to do when each integration fails.
More in the guides and every answer in one place.
