API integration cost: budget for recovery and ownership
Estimate an API integration beyond endpoint count: authentication, mapping, retries, reconciliation, test environments and provider change management.
Scalable APIs, database design, and backend infrastructure built to last.
We design and build the server-side layer your product needs — REST or GraphQL APIs, database architecture, and third-party integrations.
Frontend teams that need a backend built by specialists
Products outgrowing a no-code backend or Firebase
Teams needing complex integrations, webhooks, or data pipelines
What is included in a standard engagement. The final scope is agreed during discovery.
Tangible artifacts delivered at the end of the engagement.
Phases and durations for a standard engagement.
API design, database schema, auth strategy, and integration mapping.
Core infrastructure, auth, base API routes, and database setup.
Feature endpoints, business logic, and internal testing.
Third-party integrations, load testing, documentation, and handoff.
A working endpoint is only part of the delivery. Define who owns data, failures and support before connecting systems.
Document authentication, roles, pagination and error responses in the API contract.
Test repeated requests, vendor timeouts and recovery without duplicate records.
Hand over migrations, monitoring, runbooks and credentials through controlled access.
A look at how we've helped clients build, launch, and improve their products — with context on the problem, our approach, and what shipped.

Estimate an API integration beyond endpoint count: authentication, mapping, retries, reconciliation, test environments and provider change management.
Prepare an integration contract covering identifiers, credentials, limits, retries, test data, reconciliation and ownership before development begins.
Compare backend-as-a-service and custom development through access rules, data relationships, integrations, operating cost and an achievable exit plan.
Keep customer records consistent with field ownership, stable identifiers, conflict rules, replay-safe updates and operational reconciliation.
Plan API changes with consumer inventory, compatibility checks, migration evidence, deprecation communication and a reversible release sequence.
