Backend and Cloud Services

It depends on what you're building: complexity, integrations, expected traffic, and security requirements. Most startups don't need the infrastructure they're sold. We give you an honest scope and a fixed price after understanding your actual requirements, not a quote designed to maximise the project size.

Usually because the infrastructure was set up for a scale the product hasn't reached, resources are running that aren't used, or the architecture wasn't optimised for cost. We audit existing setups and restructure them, moving to right-sized or pay-as-you-go models where appropriate, often reducing costs without affecting performance.

All three are strong cloud platforms; the differences are in specific strengths, pricing, and ecosystem fit. AWS is the most widely used with the broadest feature set. GCP is strong for data and machine learning workloads. Azure fits businesses with Microsoft integrations or enterprise needs. We recommend what's right for your product, and explain why, before any work starts.

Instead of a fixed monthly amount regardless of usage, pay-as-you-go means your costs scale with actual usage. For early-stage products with unpredictable traffic, you only pay for what your product actually uses. As you scale and traffic becomes predictable, the right infrastructure approach evolves.

Yes. We design and build APIs from scratch — RESTful, structured cleanly, documented thoroughly, and built to integrate with whatever your product needs to connect with. Whether it's a standalone API project or part of a larger build, we treat API architecture with the same rigour as any other part of the system.

Security is built into the architecture from day one, not added afterward: secure authentication, role-based access controls, data encryption in transit and at rest, secure API design, and protection against common vulnerabilities. For products handling sensitive data, we discuss compliance requirements and build the appropriate protections in.

Yes — we assess what exists first. We review the code, architecture, infrastructure, and documentation, then give you an honest evaluation of what's there, what's salvageable, and what needs to change before recommending a path forward.

Completely. All code, all cloud accounts, all credentials handed over to you in full. You are never dependent on us to access your own infrastructure. Everything is documented and yours.
