Frequently Asked Questions
What backend technologies do you use?
We specialize in Node.js, .NET, Python, and Java, and build cloud-native architectures on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. For lightweight or MVP projects, we also use Firebase.
Will the backend scale as my app grows?
Yes. We design for scalability using auto-scaling, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud-based services so your backend supports growth without needing a full rewrite.
How do you ensure security in backend systems?
We apply end-to-end encryption, authentication, and role-based access, and align with standards such as GDPR and HIPAA depending on your industry.
Do you build backends for both web and mobile apps?
Yes. We deliver backend web development services and mobile app backend development, including authentication, sync, media, and business-logic APIs.
Can you modernize a legacy backend?
Yes. We audit your current system, then re-architect or rebuild using modern frameworks and cloud platforms, improving performance and security while protecting business continuity.
Do you maintain the backend after launch?
Yes. Our maintenance service includes monitoring, bug fixes, updates, and performance optimization to keep your backend reliable over time.
How much does backend development cost?
It depends on the complexity of your data model, integrations, and scale requirements. We provide realistic, feature-based estimates rather than optimistic pricing that changes later.
