We build backends the way SREs would: contract-first APIs, tested domain logic, disciplined schemas, observability and a runbook for every failure mode.
Backend development is the engineering of servers, APIs, databases and background services that power a web or mobile product — focused on performance, security, data integrity, scalability and reliability.
REST, GraphQL and tRPC with typed contracts and OpenAPI docs.
PostgreSQL modeling, migrations, indexing, replicas and backups.
OAuth 2.1, SAML, passkeys, MFA, SSO and RBAC/ABAC.
Background processing with Redis, SQS, Temporal or Kafka.
Elasticsearch, OpenSearch or pgvector for semantic search.
OpenTelemetry, logs, traces, metrics, alerts and SLOs.
A plain answer up front. We'd rather not sell you something you don't need.
Clarify goals, scope, constraints and the business metric this project must move.
Map flows, shape the information architecture and agree the technical approach before build starts.
Ship in short sprints with staging links, written decisions and weekly review checkpoints.
QA, accessibility, page performance, analytics and release planning are handled before launch day.
Post-launch support, measurement, iteration and handoff are planned from the start.
Pricing is quoted after discovery based on scope, team shape and delivery timeline.
The people you meet in discovery stay involved through architecture, delivery and launch.
Metadata, schema, page performance and semantic markup are part of delivery, not a post-launch add-on.
Tradeoffs, integrations and scope changes are documented so your team can audit decisions later.
Repos, infra, analytics and documentation live in your accounts from the beginning.
Real delivery examples tied to this service area, so buyers can move from claims to shipped work.
A growing SaaS backend was refactored around typed APIs, queue discipline and observability so product launches stopped creating operational regressions.
A fintech compliance team migrated a fragile, 8-year-old vanilla PHP application to a modern, secure, and tested Laravel 11 architecture.
A slow dashboard experience was rebuilt with React 19 and server rendering to improve product responsiveness and trial conversion.
“Cuibit brought order to a backend that had become risky to change. Better contracts, better visibility and fewer release surprises mattered more than any single framework choice.”
“Cuibit stepped into a messy SaaS rebuild, reset the architecture quickly and shipped without the usual agency handoff drama. The team felt embedded, not outsourced.”
Supporting articles that help buyers understand the tradeoffs, architecture choices and implementation details behind this service area.
Recent React and Next.js vulnerability disclosures make security hardening urgent for SaaS platforms, dashboards, ecommerce front ends, and custom web applications. This guide explains how to patch, test, and harden safely in 2026.
WordPress 7.0 now targets May 20, 2026. Here is what site owners, agencies, and developers should prepare before upgrading, from PHP checks to plugin compatibility.
WordPress 7.0 brings real-time collaboration, Gutenberg workflow changes, and developer tooling updates. This guide explains how businesses and WooCommerce stores should prepare before upgrading in 2026.
Usually we refactor and modernize in place — a full rewrite is rarely the cheapest path. Where rewriting is justified, we propose a phased strangler migration.
OWASP Top 10 baseline, secret management, MFA, SSO, audit logs, encrypted data at rest and in transit. We can align with SOC 2 and HIPAA controls.
Yes. IaC with Terraform or Pulumi, CI/CD, monitoring, on-call rotations where required.
Pricing is quoted after discovery based on scope, team shape and delivery timeline. A small API, a production backend with queues and observability, and a SOC 2-aligned platform are each scoped differently, so we share a written proposal after discovery.
PostgreSQL for most new builds — better JSON support, extensions, full-text search and advanced indexing. MySQL when there's an existing ecosystem or strong team preference.
URL-based versioning (v1, v2) for external APIs; feature flags and backwards-compatible changes for internal APIs. Breaking changes are documented and migrated with support windows.
