Backend & BaaS

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.

Scope

Typical Scope

What is included in a standard engagement. The final scope is agreed during discovery.

REST or GraphQL API design and implementation
Database architecture (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
Authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth2)
Third-party integrations (payment, email, CRM, etc.)
Background jobs and queue systems (BullMQ, SQS)
API documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger)
Deployment and infrastructure setup
Deliverables

What You'll Receive

Tangible artifacts delivered at the end of the engagement.

Deliverables package

  • Production-ready API codebase on your repository
  • Database schema with migrations
  • OpenAPI documentation
  • Deployed staging and production environments
  • Integration test suite
  • Technical documentation and onboarding guide
Timeline

Typical Timeline

Phases and durations for a standard engagement.

01

Architecture & Design

Weeks 1–2

API design, database schema, auth strategy, and integration mapping.

02

Skeleton Build

Weeks 2–4

Core infrastructure, auth, base API routes, and database setup.

03

Feature Development

Weeks 4–8

Feature endpoints, business logic, and internal testing.

04

Integrations & QA

Weeks 8–14

Third-party integrations, load testing, documentation, and handoff.

Scope Factors

What Affects Scope & Timeline

Number and complexity of API endpoints
Real-time requirements (WebSockets, SSE)
Data migration from existing systems
Number of third-party integrations
Multi-region or high-availability requirements

Agree the API contract before implementation

A working endpoint is only part of the delivery. Define who owns data, failures and support before connecting systems.

  1. Document authentication, roles, pagination and error responses in the API contract.

  2. Test repeated requests, vendor timeouts and recovery without duplicate records.

  3. Hand over migrations, monitoring, runbooks and credentials through controlled access.
