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 (UK/EU overlap (GMT/BST-friendly)).

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.

Delivery considerations for your region
Compliance & Data (UK/EU)
For UK teams, we default to GDPR-first thinking: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and clear access boundaries.
We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement practical retention/deletion flows when needed.
- GDPR-first patterns (minimise, restrict, document)
- DPA template available on request
- Retention/deletion and export flows where required
- Least-privilege access and secure session handling
- PII-safe logging + secure-by-default configuration
- NDA available for early-stage discussions
Timezone & Collaboration (UK/EU)
We align to UK time and EU overlap (GMT/BST with CET-friendly windows) for fast feedback cycles.
We keep the process lightweight: async updates, clear priorities, and written decisions to avoid ambiguity.
- UK/EU overlap with GMT/BST windows
- Async-first delivery with documented scope
- Weekly milestones and structured demos
- Clear escalation path for blockers
- Tight change control with clear sign-offs
Engagement & Procurement (UK)
We support typical UK procurement flows with clear scopes, change control, and invoice cadence.
If you prefer a discovery-first engagement, we can run a short paid discovery to lock requirements before build.
- GBP-based engagements and invoicing options
- Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
- Milestone-based billing when appropriate
- Transparent change control and sign-offs
- Vendor onboarding pack on request
Security & Quality (UK/EU)
We build for reliability and maintainability: clean PRs, tight review loops, and test coverage that matches risk.
Performance budgets and release checklists keep launches predictable—especially when multiple stakeholders review changes.
- CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
- Performance budgets + bundle checks (Core Web Vitals-minded)
- Structured release notes and rollback-safe deployments
- Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
- Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
