  • Real-time WebSocket Servers
  • Database Design (SQL & NoSQL)
  • API Gateway & Rate Limiting
  • Authentication & Authorization (OAuth2, JWT)
  • Background Jobs & Task Queues
  • Webhook Integration Systems
  • API Documentation & Versioning

API Development

RESTful and GraphQL APIs with OpenAPI documentation, versioning strategies, and comprehensive automated test suites.

Database Architecture

Schema design, query optimization, indexing strategies, and sharding for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and DynamoDB.

High-Performance Systems

Low-latency backends capable of handling millions of requests per second with horizontal scaling and connection pooling.

High-Performance Systems

Low-latency backends capable of handling millions of requests per second with horizontal scaling and connection pooling.

Security Hardening

OWASP best practices, SQL injection prevention, input sanitization, rate limiting, RBAC, and end-to-end encryption.

Microservices & Service Mesh

Domain-driven microservice decomposition with Istio, gRPC inter-service communication, and circuit breakers.

Event-Driven Architecture

Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, and AWS SQS event streaming systems for decoupled, resilient asynchronous workflows.

Auth & Identity Management

OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML SSO, JWT, MFA, and role-based access control for enterprise-grade user authentication.

Observability & Monitoring

Distributed tracing with Jaeger/Zipkin, Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and PagerDuty alerting pipelines.

Data Pipelines & ETL

Scalable ETL pipelines using Apache Airflow, dbt, and Spark for data warehousing, analytics, and ML feature stores.

Our Process

How we build with you

01

System Design

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), capacity planning, database schema design, and API contract definition.

02

Development & Testing

TDD with unit, integration, and load tests. 80%+ code coverage enforced by CI gates on every pull request.

03

Security & Performance Review

OWASP security audits, penetration testing, load testing with k6, and query profiling before any production deployment.

04

Deploy & Monitor

Blue/green or canary deployments via Kubernetes, with full observability stack active from day one post-launch.

FAQ

Common questions

Monoliths are often the right choice for early-stage products — faster to build, easier to debug, and cheaper to run. We recommend microservices when you have clear service boundaries, distinct scaling requirements, or multiple teams. We can also help you modularize a monolith for gradual migration.

We have deep expertise in PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, Cassandra, and ClickHouse. We help you choose the right database (or combination) based on your consistency, query, and scaling requirements.

We implement URL versioning (/v1/, /v2/), deprecation notices with sunset headers, and backward-compatible schema evolution. We never break your consumers — all changes go through a compatibility review process.

Yes — third-party integrations are a core competency. We regularly integrate with Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Twilio, AWS services, SAP, and custom legacy systems via REST, GraphQL, webhooks, or message queues.
