How much does backend development cost?

Backend and cloud work starts from $850. Platform builds and migrations are scoped after an architecture review and fixed in writing.

Which cloud do you work with?

Mostly AWS and Google Cloud, plus Vercel and serverless platforms. We recommend based on your team, compliance needs and cost.

Can you migrate us without downtime?

In most cases, yes. We plan migrations with parallel running, data sync and a rehearsed cutover so users are not affected.

Can you reduce our cloud bill?

Often. We review usage, right-size resources, add caching and remove waste, then track the savings month by month.

Do you document the infrastructure?

Yes. Infrastructure is defined as code, and you receive architecture diagrams, runbooks and a handover walkthrough.

Backend, API & CloudFoundations That Hold.

Secure APIs, solid databases and cloud infrastructure that stay fast, observable and affordable as you grow.

Sound familiar?

The backend is where products quietly succeed or fail.

Built for

Products outgrowing their first backend
Teams that need a public or partner API
Companies moving to the cloud properly

The app slows down every time traffic grows, and nobody knows exactly why.
How we fix it: Query optimisation, caching and latency engineering based on real traces.
Deployments are manual, risky and only one person knows how to do them.
How we fix it: CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code that anyone on the team can run.
You are not sure your authentication and data access would pass a security review.
How we fix it: Security architecture, auth and authorization designed to be audited.

23 services, one senior team.

APIs, data models and cloud infrastructure designed for load, observability and change - so new features ship fast without ever putting production at risk.
