About Backends
Specialist engineering for systems that cannot feel fragile.
Backends works with founders, operators and product teams who need reliable software behind the interface. We focus on the hard parts: domain modelling, data integrity, integration reliability, security, deployment flow and long-term maintainability.
Every build is shaped around production realities, not just launch day. That means clear runbooks, observability, documented APIs, pragmatic architecture and the discipline to keep systems understandable as they grow.
Security-first delivery
ISO/SOC2 friendly architecture
Versioned APIs and clear documentation

Frequently asked questions
Clear expectations before we start.
What does a typical project cost?
Discovery starts from £4.5k. Build projects usually start from £25k depending on scope, integrations and delivery risk.
Can you work with an existing codebase?
Yes. We can audit, stabilise, refactor or extend existing systems without forcing a full rebuild.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Managed backend retainers cover monitoring, maintenance, incident response, security updates and ongoing delivery.
How do you communicate during delivery?
We use short delivery cycles, clear demos, written decisions, shared backlog visibility and regular progress reviews.
