✦ 04 / Backend & APIs

The Engine
Behind Your Product.

Your frontend is only as good as the API powering it. We build server-side systems that are fast, reliable, secure, and built to handle whatever growth throws at them.

✦ The Approach

Backend that scales
before you need it to

Bad backend decisions are expensive to fix. Tight deadlines push teams towards shortcuts — magic numbers in queries, synchronous calls that should be async, schemas that made sense at 1,000 users but collapse at 100,000.

We plan for scale from the start. Not premature optimisation — deliberate architecture that handles 10× growth without a rewrite. The right database for the job, the right caching strategy, the right queue.

✦ What You Get

Every layer of
your backend, covered.

API Design & Development

RESTful and GraphQL APIs with clean contracts, comprehensive documentation, and versioning strategies that future-proof your integrations.

Database Architecture

Schema design, indexing strategy, and query optimisation for relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) databases.

Authentication & Authorisation

Secure auth flows: JWT, OAuth 2.0, SSO, and role-based access control. Enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade complexity.

Microservices & Monoliths

We recommend the architecture that matches your team size and scale — not the one that&apos;s fashionable. Right-sized from day one.

Third-Party Integrations

Payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, communication platforms, and data providers. If it has an API, we can connect it reliably.

API Documentation

OpenAPI specs, interactive Swagger docs, SDK generation, and integration guides so your partners can self-serve.

✦ How We Work

Contracts first.
Code second.

01

Requirements & Contracts

We document every endpoint, data shape, and integration before writing code. API contracts agreed upfront prevent rework later.

02

Data Modelling

Entity relationships, normalisation decisions, and indexing strategy — designed for your read/write patterns at current and projected scale.

03

Build & Test

TDD approach with unit and integration tests covering happy paths and edge cases. Staging environment mirrors production.

04

Document & Deploy

Complete API documentation, deployment to your infrastructure, monitoring setup, and runbook for your operations team.

✦ Perfect For

When your backend is
the product.

Businesses With a Frontend But No Backend

You have a great UI and a capable frontend team. You need a backend that handles business logic, data, and integrations cleanly.

Companies Replacing a Fragile Monolith

Your legacy backend is a bottleneck. We extract, rebuild, and migrate — incrementally, without downtime.

Platforms Building Partner Ecosystems

You need APIs your partners can integrate with. We design for developer experience, not just functionality.

Scale-ups Hitting Performance Limits

Query times climbing, timeouts appearing, costs rising. We diagnose and fix the root causes — not just the symptoms.

Why teams choose
Codemygig.

Security is non-negotiable

OWASP Top 10 covered by default. Input validation, parameterised queries, rate limiting, and secrets management built into every project.

Documentation you can hand to anyone

Your next engineer or CTO should be able to understand your backend in an afternoon. We write systems and docs that make that possible.

Observability from day one

Structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting wired up before launch — not scrambled in during an incident.
