Scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems with APIs, microservices, message queues, and full observability — built to handle 10× your current load.
Your backend is the engine room. We design and build systems that handle real traffic, fail gracefully, and give your engineers the observability they need to debug production at 3am. From monolithic APIs to event-driven microservices, we match the architecture to your actual problem — not the hype cycle.
Every backend ships with automated tests, load tests, CI/CD, structured logging, metrics dashboards, and runbooks for the most common failure modes.
REST, GraphQL, or gRPC with OpenAPI contracts, versioning, and typed clients.
Service boundaries drawn around real domains, not org charts. Contract-tested.
Async workflows with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS for durability and backpressure.
Multi-layer caching with Redis, CDN edge caches, and invalidation you can trust.
Scheduled jobs, retries, dead-letter queues, and idempotent workers.
Structured logs, traces, metrics, and alerts wired into your on-call tool of choice.
Traffic profile, latency targets, consistency needs, budget, and team skills — captured in a written RFC.
C4 diagrams, service boundaries, data flow, and failure modes reviewed with your team.
Database schemas, API contracts, and event schemas locked before implementation starts.
TDD-friendly codebases with integration tests against real infrastructure, not mocks.
We break the system before production does. k6 load tests and chaos drills documented.
Zero-downtime deploy, dashboards, on-call runbooks, and an incident response playbook.
RFC, architecture, schemas.
Repos, CI, base services.
Implement, test, iterate.
Load test, deploy, runbooks.
We start with the simplest architecture that satisfies your requirements. Usually a modular monolith — we split into services only when team size and scale demand it.
Yes. Strangler-fig migrations, database splits, and API contract layers are some of our most common engagements.
Typically OpenTelemetry with Datadog, Grafana, or Honeycomb — we integrate with whatever you already use.
