Backend (Node.js, AWS)

Whether you’re in the opening phases of product development, or making improvements to an existing digital product, we’re here to help you bring your vision and goals to life.

A good backend is one nobody has to think about: secure, fast and quietly reliable.

Jon, Technical Director

APIs and services that power your product

Behind every good digital product is a backend that handles data, business logic and integrations reliably. We design and build APIs and services with Node.js and TypeScript, giving your web and mobile apps a single, consistent foundation. Clear API design makes it easier for frontend teams and partners to build on, now and as the product grows.

Built on the cloud, built to scale

We build on AWS, choosing managed services such as Lambda, API Gateway, RDS and DynamoDB where they reduce maintenance and cost. Infrastructure is defined as code, so environments are consistent and repeatable. Systems scale with demand, recover gracefully from failures and are monitored, so issues are spotted early, often before your users notice anything.

Secure and well integrated

Security is part of every design decision, from authentication and access control to how data is stored and protected. We also connect your product to the services it relies on, such as payments, CRMs and identity providers, and to the systems your organisation already runs.

Some questions you might have

Node.js is fast, efficient at handling many requests at once and widely supported. Using TypeScript across the frontend and backend means one language for the whole product, so code, types and developers can move between the two easily. That makes teams more productive and reduces bugs at the boundaries between systems.

No. AWS is our usual choice because of its range of managed services and reliability, but we've worked with other platforms and hosting providers too. If your organisation already uses Azure, Google Cloud or a managed platform such as Render or Vercel, we'll design around that rather than introduce something new.

Yes. Many projects involve working with systems that are already running, such as older applications and APIs, or third-party platforms. We can integrate with them, improve them step by step, or plan a gradual migration to a more modern architecture, without disrupting the people who rely on them every day.
