When your app needs a real foundation
The production backend your app was built without.
We design and build the backend infrastructure your application needs to handle real users, real data, and real load — database, API layer, authentication, hosting, monitoring, backups.
What this covers
Scoped per engagement
- Database architecture — selection, schema design, indexing, and migration from prototype storage
- API layer — RESTful or GraphQL API design, endpoint security, versioning
- Authentication system — server-side auth, session management, role-based access control
- Hosting infrastructure — cloud provider setup, environment configuration, domain and SSL
- CI/CD pipeline — automated testing, deployment pipeline, environment promotion
- Monitoring and alerting — error tracking, uptime monitoring, performance baselines
- Backup and recovery — automated backups, tested recovery procedures
- Documentation — infrastructure runbook, deployment procedures, operational guide
Who it’s for
Applications that have completed a Hardening Sprint and need production infrastructure. Also applications where the Audit reveals that the data layer needs to be replaced before security can be properly addressed. This is not a feature development engagement. It's backend infrastructure and systems work.
The typical path
Most Backend Build engagements follow a Vibe Code Audit and Hardening Sprint. The Audit identifies the infrastructure gaps. The Sprint secures the application layer. The Backend Build replaces the prototype foundation with production infrastructure.
