What's included

Everything from a single fix to a full replatform.

🏗️

API & Backend Development

REST and GraphQL APIs built for the requests per second you'll actually handle - with auth, rate limiting, and observability from day one.

  • NestJS / Fastify for high-throughput APIs
  • Express for lightweight microservices
  • JWT, OAuth 2.0, API key auth
🖥️

Full-Stack Next.js Applications

Server-side rendered web apps using Next.js App Router - with API routes, streaming, and edge deployments.

  • App Router + React Server Components
  • Vercel, AWS, or self-hosted
  • ISR and SSG strategies

Real-time Systems

WebSocket and event-driven architectures for dashboards, collaboration tools, and messaging systems.

  • Socket.io / native WS
  • Redis Pub/Sub for message brokering
  • Server-Sent Events for one-way streams
🐘

Laravel Applications

Eloquent-powered PHP applications for content portals and multi-tenant SaaS.

  • Livewire for reactive UIs
  • Laravel Queues, Horizon, and Pulse
  • Multi-tenant with Tenancy for Laravel
🗄️

Database Design & Optimisation

Schema design, query optimisation, indexing strategy, and migration plans.

  • Prisma ORM / TypeORM migrations
  • Read replica and connection pooling
  • Slow query analysis
☁️

Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps

CI/CD pipelines, containerised deployments, and infrastructure-as-code.

  • Docker + GitHub Actions
  • AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache)
  • Terraform for repeatable infra

The team built our NestJS API and Next.js dashboard in 10 weeks. It handles 40,000 events per minute with 99.95% uptime. They knew exactly what questions to ask before writing a line of code.

FAQ

Common questions.

We choose based on three factors: expected request volume, team's existing skills, and long-term maintainability. NestJS for structured, team-scale APIs. Fastify for raw throughput. Express for simple services. Laravel when PHP fits the team. We'll give you a recommendation after the discovery call.
Both. We're clear about the trade-offs - an MVP built in 4 weeks looks different from a production system built in 12. We'll tell you which approach is appropriate for your stage.
Yes. We start with a code audit (typically 1–2 weeks) to assess quality, security, and technical debt. We then propose a realistic improvement roadmap rather than a full rewrite unless one is genuinely needed.
Yes. We set up CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, and cloud infrastructure as part of the engagement. We work with AWS, GCP, Hetzner, and Contabo depending on budget and requirements.
We follow OWASP Top 10 for APIs, implement rate limiting and input validation from day one, use environment-based secrets management, and include a security review in the QA phase of every project.
