APIs and backends that hold real traffic
Integrations and backend services for when the spreadsheet, the fragile webhook, or “an intern does it” no longer holds. Clear contracts, queues when needed, a system you can operate.
What the API work includes
Contract design, implementation, auth, and the glue to systems you already run.
Contract design
What goes in, what comes out, what happens on failure. Documented. Your other systems don’t have to guess.
Integrations with what already runs
ERPs, gateways, invoicing, third parties. An API that talks, not a midnight CSV dump.
High-traffic backends
Queues, retries, idempotency. If a payment confirms twice, the order doesn’t duplicate.
Observability
Logs, metrics, alerts. When it fails (and something always fails), you can see where.
Who it’s for (and who it isn’t)
For teams that already have a product or a process, and the bottleneck is the backend or the integrations.
// YES, IF
- You have two systems that should talk and today a person with a file does it.
- Traffic spikes (closings, campaigns, holidays) already scare you.
- You need an API for an app, a partner, or an internal panel we’ll build — or that already exists.
// PICK ANOTHER PATH IF
- There’s no product yet: start with the system or the site, not “an API just in case.”
- You only need a form that sends email. That’s Websites.
How we build it
Contract first. Then code. Nobody gets surprised in sprint 4.
Discovery
Volumes, spikes, neighboring systems, and what must never be lost (payments, stock, appointments).
STAGE: PLANNINGContract
Endpoints, events, errors. We review it with whoever will consume the API.
STAGE: DESIGNBuild
Implementation with tests for the ugly paths, not just the happy path.
STAGE: BUILDOperate
Deploy, alerts, and a short runbook. Operable by your team or by us.
STAGE: LIVEReference price
Backend is almost never a closed package. It’s quoted on scope: how many systems, which guarantees, which spikes.
APIs & backend
TIMELINE: depends on scope
// INCLUDES
- API and event design
- Authentication and authorization
- Integration with current systems
- Retries, queues, and idempotency where they apply
- Monitoring and alerts
- Docs for whoever will consume it
Talking to a well-documented system is not the same job as talking to a legacy box with no API. That shows up in week one.

FAQ
Do you build the API and the panel that consumes it?
Yes. Often the work is the pair: backend + custom software. If you already have a frontend, we couple to its contract.
Can you rescue a webhook that “sometimes works”?
Yes. Common case: you don’t throw everything out — you add retries, signatures, and a log you can read. Sometimes the fix is smaller than the fear.
Can I choose where the data lives?
Yes. Region, vendor, or light on-prem, depending on the case. Non-negotiable: deploy and monitoring cannot depend on someone’s laptop.
