API & Backend Development

REST is simpler and ideal for straightforward CRUD APIs. GraphQL shines when you have multiple frontend consumers with different data needs. We recommend based on your use case and team familiarity.

Node.js (Express, Fastify, NestJS), Python (FastAPI, Django), Go, and Rust depending on your performance, team, and ecosystem requirements.

We implement versioning strategies (URL-based, header-based, or content negotiation) that allow you to evolve your API without breaking existing consumers.

Yes. We audit existing backends, identify bottlenecks, and implement targeted improvements - database optimization, caching, horizontal scaling, or architectural refactoring as needed.

Yes. We offer DevOps and backend maintenance retainers covering uptime monitoring, security patches, performance optimization, and on-call incident response.

REST uses fixed endpoints that return predefined data structures - simple and widely supported. GraphQL lets clients request exactly the data they need in a single query - ideal when multiple frontends have different data requirements. We recommend based on your use case, team familiarity, and performance needs.

Microservices architecture breaks your application into small, independently deployable services that communicate via APIs. Each service handles one business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach improves reliability, enables team autonomy, and allows different services to use different technologies.

API and backend development typically ranges from $20,000 for simple REST APIs to $100,000+ for complex microservice architectures. Cost depends on the number of endpoints, data complexity, authentication requirements, third-party integrations, and infrastructure setup.
