Backend systems that stay boring, on purpose.
The APIs, background jobs, and data pipelines that sit behind your product deserve the same care as the interface users see. We build TypeScript-first backends that are simple to reason about, easy to change, and quiet in production.
Simple architectures, observable in production.
We prefer boring, well-understood tools over trendy ones. TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL cover ninety percent of what most backends need — and they'll still be widely maintained in ten years. That matters when you're the one inheriting the system.
API design comes before implementation. We write the contract, agree on it, and only then build the endpoints. Schema changes go through migrations. Every job that runs on a schedule is logged, retryable, and monitored.
Observability is built in from the start — structured logs, error tracking, and metrics. When something goes wrong at 2am, the team on call should be able to see exactly what happened.
The parts of your product users never see, done properly.
- 01REST or tRPC APIs with type-safe contracts
- 02PostgreSQL schemas with migrations, indexes, and query analysis
- 03Background jobs, scheduled tasks, and queue processing
- 04Third-party integrations (Stripe, Auth providers, external APIs)
- 05Deployment to Railway, Vercel, or your existing cloud
- 06Observability: structured logs, error tracking, and dashboards
What clients ask.
Do you use ORMs like Prisma or Drizzle?
Yes — Prisma or Drizzle, depending on the project. Both give us type-safe database access. We pick based on the specific ergonomics each project needs.
What about GraphQL?
We build GraphQL APIs when they genuinely help — usually when the frontend has complex data-fetching requirements. For most product surfaces, tRPC or REST is simpler and just as effective.
Can you migrate an existing backend to a modern stack?
Yes. Backend migrations start with an audit of the current system, followed by an incremental migration plan. We rarely recommend big-bang rewrites — they usually take twice as long and break more than they fix.
Do you handle DevOps and infrastructure?
To the extent your project needs — deployment pipelines, environment configuration, and basic infrastructure as code. For anything requiring dedicated DevOps expertise (large-scale Kubernetes, complex networking), we'll say so and recommend a specialist.
