Backend and API Development

REST for most products: simpler to cache, debug, and hand over. GraphQL earns its complexity when many different clients need different shapes of the same data. We will not add a schema layer you have no use for.

Yes. We start by reading it — the schema, the indexes, the queries that are actually slow — then propose changes in order of payoff. A rewrite is the last option, not the first.

Whoever you want. Everything runs in your cloud accounts under infrastructure as code, so your team can take it or we keep running it under a support arrangement. There is no proprietary layer in the middle.

We default to a well-structured monolith, because it is faster to build, easier to reason about, and enough for most products' actual traffic. We split out a service when a specific piece — heavy background processing, a different scaling profile, a separate team owning it — genuinely needs its own deployment, not on principle.

Authentication on every route by default, input validation at the boundary, and rate limiting keyed to the client rather than a single global number, so one abusive caller cannot degrade service for everyone else. Secrets and keys live in your cloud provider's secret manager, never in the repository.
