Backend Development Services

Yes. We work across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, including serverless services, managed containers, PaaS offerings and Kubernetes platforms such as EKS, GKE and AKS. We recommend the simplest deployment model that meets the system's requirements.

Yes. We build synchronous and asynchronous services using technologies such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, SNS, Kinesis and Pub/Sub. We design for retries, idempotency, ordering, backpressure, dead-letter handling and observability.

Yes. We often improve systems incrementally by extracting services, replacing integrations, upgrading frameworks, adding tests and observability, and changing infrastructure one part at a time. A rewrite is recommended only when the evidence supports it.

Yes. We build backend services around OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI and Azure OpenAI. That can include retrieval, tool use, structured output, agentic workflows, evaluations, permissions, audit trails and human approval.

We combine automated tests, contract tests, CI/CD, infrastructure as code and production observability. Depending on the stack, that can include OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Sentry or cloud-native monitoring, supported by useful alerts and runbooks.

Yes, we sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) always when a client wants it. We can do it at the very beginning before we discuss your project's details, or at another stage of the process - it's up to you.

Yes, you are the owner of Intellectual Property rights at all times.

We are fully remote. So while we were founded and are still based in Berlin, most developers will be remote from a central European location.

You work with us on a Time & Materials basis. The total cost depends on the actual time the team spends on the development. You are in charge of the project’s scope and set priorities for the development team.

Time & Materials allows flexibility for you to set the direction of development depending on the users’ feedback, market situation, or opportunities that arise during the development.

We adjust the team depending on your needs. Our speciality is low overhead teams, where every member is contributing concretely towards customer facing features. That means everyone is either doing development or design.

Roles like Project Manager, Business Analyst and QA are responsibilities which are shouldered by our business oriented developers or designers.

You may take the role of a Product Owner, making decisions on priority and scope.

Yes. We can adapt to your tools and processes. I.e. fully integrate into your existing team.

We follow best practices, perform code reviews, implement automated testing and continuous integration to ensure code quality and maintainability. All projects are not equal though and the level of automated QA will be determined on your need for quick feedback from the market.

Yes. We create easily understandable and maintainable code using well known frameworks which don’t require niche knowledge.

The runtime environments we can set up in your ownership from the get-go.

Every team has a partner involved in the project. Our developers have a proven track record of outsized throughput. Our culture is one of delivering features every day. That's why we prefer senior developers, but not seniors that are from slow moving enterprise environments.

We have fixed length iterations (usually 1 week), at the end of which you will be demoed the current progress. You will have access to team members through Slack, email and video calls and our regular meetings. In addition to this you will have access to our project management tools (Jira or Asana), which we update daily.

We love what we do and only employ people with a similar mindset. You ship faster by working with a small team where each developer is a focused on your business goals. With us you get direct access to everyone. This keeps overhead low and output high.

You are in control. We offer full transparency of progress and potential problems. We keep you informed and present options, but you make the decisions.

We value our client relationships and their product visions. Meet with us to see if we share the same conviction. We might be a good fit.
