Backend & Cloud

Firebase & Supabase Development

Ship faster with a modern Backend-as-a-Service stack—auth, database, storage, functions, and realtime. We design it properly (security, data modeling, and scaling) so you launch fast without future rewrites. Ship fast on BaaS without painting yourself into a corner (APAC overlap (AEST/AEDT-friendly)).

Benefits

What you get

Production-grade auth (email, social, magic links, MFA)

Realtime sync for chat, feeds, and live dashboards

Secure storage + CDN delivery for media assets

Serverless functions for APIs, webhooks, and background jobs

Fine-grained access control (RLS / Security Rules)

Cost-aware architecture + monitoring from day one

Features

What we deliver

Authentication & Permissions

Complete auth flows, role-based access, team invites, and session management—implemented with security best practices.

Realtime Data & Subscriptions

Instant UI updates for collaborative features, chat, notifications, and activity feeds—without complex infrastructure.

Data Modeling & Query Performance

Correct schema/collections, indexing, pagination, and query patterns—so your app stays fast as data grows.

Serverless Functions & Webhooks

Custom logic for payments, cron jobs, integrations, and event handling—built with retries and idempotency.

Security Rules / RLS

Policy-driven access control at the data layer to prevent leaks—tested with real-world scenarios and edge cases.

Observability & Cost Control

Usage tracking, logs, alerts, and cost optimizations (caching, batching, limits) to keep bills predictable.

Use Cases

Who this is for

Startup MVP

Launch in weeks with strong foundations—auth, core APIs, secure data access, and scalable modeling from day one.

SMB Applications

Scale without heavy DevOps. Add roles, audit logs, integrations, and realtime features as your product grows.

Enterprise Workflows

Stronger governance: permissions, data isolation, logging, and integration patterns that fit compliance needs.

Migration & Cleanup

Move from a legacy/custom backend to Firebase or Supabase, reduce complexity, and tighten security + costs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Firebase is great for mobile-first products, fast iteration, and real-time patterns. Supabase is ideal if you want PostgreSQL/SQL flexibility, stronger relational modeling, and more control. We’ll recommend based on your data shape, growth, and cost profile.

We implement RLS (Supabase) or Security Rules (Firebase), enforce least-privilege access, validate inputs on the server, and test common attack paths (broken rules, insecure reads, privilege escalation).

We design with portability in mind: clean schemas, minimal provider-specific coupling, export-friendly data, and a clear escape plan for auth + functions if you ever need to move.

We optimize queries/indexes, use pagination and batching, cache hot paths, tune realtime subscriptions, and set guardrails (rate limits, usage alerts). We also help you choose the right plan early to avoid surprise bills.

Yes—Stripe, RevenueCat, CRM tools, analytics, email/SMS, and custom APIs. We implement secure webhooks and background jobs with retries so integrations don’t break under load.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (AU)

For Australian teams, we keep privacy and data-handling explicit: access boundaries, safe logging, and clear retention policies.

We can support residency-sensitive designs (where feasible) and document data flows for stakeholder review.

  • Privacy Act-aware delivery posture (generic, no legal claims)
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries
  • Retention/deletion options where required
  • PII-safe logging and least-privilege defaults
  • NDA and DPA templates available on request

Timezone & Collaboration (APAC)

We support APAC collaboration with AEST/AEDT-friendly meeting windows and async progress updates.

We keep momentum with weekly milestones, crisp priorities, and predictable release planning.

  • APAC overlap with AEST/AEDT windows
  • Async-first updates and written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and scope control
  • Release planning with staged rollouts
  • Clear escalation path for blockers

Engagement & Procurement (AU)

We can structure engagements with clear scope, milestones, and invoicing that fits common procurement expectations.

If you need a lightweight vendor onboarding pack, we can provide delivery process notes and security posture summaries.

  • AUD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving scope
  • Procurement-friendly documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (APAC)

With APAC teams, async clarity matters: written decisions, stable releases, and test coverage that prevents regressions.

We use performance budgets and release checklists so handoffs stay smooth across timezones.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback plan for production launches
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
