Startup MVPs
Ship fast with a backend that won’t collapse later—auth, core APIs, and scalable data models from day one.
High-Traffic Systems
Caching, rate limits, queues, and scalable infrastructure for products that see spikes, growth, and heavy reads/writes.
Realtime Products
Messaging, notifications, live updates, and activity feeds with proper event design and reliability patterns.
Data-Heavy Workflows
Imports, exports, pipelines, scheduled jobs, and long-running tasks with retries, idempotency, and monitoring.
AI Add-ons
AI add-ons we can integrate
Want an “AI layer” on top of your backend? We can add RAG search, agent tools, and automation workflows as optional modules—built with proper auth, logging, and cost/latency controls.
We design AI integrations as well-bounded services (with evals and safe fallbacks) so your core APIs stay stable and maintainable.
Includes: secure API boundaries + handoff notes + monitoring baseline.
