Backend development for systems that must stay up.
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.
What we deliver with Backend Development Services.
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.
Honest fit check.
A plain answer up front. We'd rather not sell you something you don't need.
- You need secure, scalable APIs with production observability
- You're modernising a legacy PHP, .NET or Java backend
- You need SOC 2 or HIPAA-aligned infrastructure
- You only need a static site with no server logic
- A serverless BaaS like Supabase or Firebase covers your needs
- You want the agency to own and operate your infrastructure long-term
What you get with Backend Development Services.
- API design and contracts
- Authentication and authorization
- Data modeling and migrations
- Queue and job systems
- Caching and rate-limiting
- Observability with OpenTelemetry
- Security hardening (OWASP)
- CI/CD and infra-as-code
Who this service is for.
- SaaS teams needing scalable, secure API backends
- Enterprise teams modernising legacy PHP, .NET or Java backends
- Product teams building multi-service architectures
- Healthcare and fintech teams with compliance requirements
Our stack, battle-tested.
How we deliver.
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.
Starting from $700, depending on project scope and requirements.
What makes us different.
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.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Cuibit backend development projects start from $700, depending on project scope and requirements. A small API, a production backend with queues and observability, and a SOC 2-aligned platform are each scoped differently. We share a written proposal after a short discovery call.
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.
