Custom Backend Architecture (MCP Focus)
We design backend architectures for MCP and AI tool calling that are built to last: clear APIs, event-driven workflows, reliability patterns, and observability so orchestration remains safe in production.
Overview
What this service is
This service designs and implements backend foundations for AI tool ecosystems: service boundaries, event models, queues, and data storage aligned to tool calling workflows.
We focus on reliability and safety: idempotency, retries, permission boundaries, and logging so actions are traceable and recoverable.
You get a practical architecture and implementation plan (and build execution) that supports incremental expansion without rebuilding the core orchestration layer.
Benefits
What you get
Safer orchestration in production
Guardrails and auditability patterns reduce risk when tools perform real actions.
Scalable event workflows
Queues and async processing keep systems responsive under burst traffic and heavy tasks.
Predictable integration boundaries
Clean contracts so adding new tools and data sources doesn’t break existing workflows.
Operational visibility
Logging and monitoring so failures and performance bottlenecks are visible early.
Cost control and performance discipline
Caching and workflow design to prevent runaway processing and unnecessary calls.
Long-term maintainability
Architecture choices that keep the system understandable as teams and tools grow.
Features
What we deliver
Service and event architecture design
Define service boundaries, event types, and workflow patterns that suit tool orchestration.
API contracts + validation
Design and implement APIs with validation and consistent error behaviour for tool calls.
Queues + background processing
Async workflows with retries, idempotency, and visibility into job states.
Caching + state management
Caching patterns to reduce repeated work and keep orchestration responsive.
Audit logs + tracing
Event logs and traces so tool actions are accountable and debuggable.
Deployment + runbook notes
Operational guidance for hosting, secrets, upgrades, and safe rollout steps.
Process
How we work
Assessment
We review current systems, workflows, and constraints to identify risks and prioritise architecture work.
Architecture plan
We define boundaries, event models, and rollout milestones aligned to safe production delivery.
Implementation
We build the foundation modules (APIs, queues, logging) and validate with representative workflows.
Hardening
We validate failure modes, permissions, and monitoring so the system behaves predictably under stress.
Handoff
We deliver runbook notes and an execution roadmap for extending the orchestration layer.

Use Cases
Who this is for
Tool orchestration backends
Coordinate multiple tools and actions with a traceable, reliable workflow engine.
Agent-driven operations
Enable controlled operational actions (reports, triage, notifications) with guardrails and audit logs.
Event-based automation platforms
Build event pipelines that drive downstream workflows and integrations predictably.
Multi-system integration layers
Connect internal APIs and services with reliability patterns and monitoring built in.
Scaling automation reliability
Add queues, idempotency, and observability to workflows that are becoming business-critical.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. The same architecture patterns apply to automation, integrations, and event-driven platforms. MCP is one use case where clear boundaries and guardrails matter a lot.
Yes. Async processing is often essential for reliable orchestration and high-volume workflows.
Yes. We can log events and tool actions so operations are traceable and compliant.
Yes. We design integration boundaries and connectors aligned to your current APIs and constraints.
Yes. We ship in milestones so the foundation improves over time without a risky “big bang” rewrite.
