Backend Development Services

We work primarily in Node.js and TypeScript — Next.js API routes, tRPC, and Express. For databases, PostgreSQL via Supabase or AWS RDS with Drizzle ORM. We pick the right tool for the job, but we don't context-switch across six languages. Deep expertise in one stack beats shallow knowledge spread thin across many.

Yes. Most engagements start with an architecture audit of your existing system. We identify technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and security gaps, then propose targeted fixes. We don't push rewrites when refactoring will do the job. If a rewrite is genuinely warranted, we'll show you the data behind that call.

We implement row-level security in PostgreSQL combined with RBAC policies enforced at both the API and database layers. Auth flows use Supabase Auth or custom JWT with refresh token rotation and OAuth/OIDC for enterprise SSO. Every permission check is centralized — never scattered across individual route handlers.

GitHub Actions workflows run type checking, unit tests, integration tests, and linting on every pull request. Preview deployments spin up automatically on Vercel. Production deploys are zero-downtime with automatic rollback on failure. We also include dependency scanning, Docker image builds for AWS services, and database migration gates.

Every engagement includes 30 days of post-launch support covering bug fixes, performance monitoring, and deployment help. After that, we offer monthly retainer packages for ongoing development, infrastructure management, and on-call support. We document everything thoroughly so your internal team can maintain the system without us in the room.

We design for horizontal scalability from the start — stateless API routes, connection pooling, Redis caching, and edge deployment. Before launch, we run load tests simulating 10x your projected traffic. Every endpoint is instrumented with latency tracking, and alerts fire on P95 degradation so you catch problems before your users do.
