# Backend/API Development & Integrations

Scalable APIs and secure integrations.

Build robust backend systems that power your applications. We create high-performance APIs, integrate third-party services, and architect systems that scale.

**Starting at:** $20,000 | **Timeline:** 4-8 weeks

## What We Deliver

- RESTful or GraphQL API
- Database design & optimization
- Authentication & authorization
- Third-party integrations
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- CI/CD pipeline
- Monitoring & logging setup

## Technologies We Use

Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, GraphQL, REST, Docker, AWS

## Our Process

1. **Architecture** — System design, data modeling, API specification
2. **Development** — API development, database setup, integrations
3. **Testing** — Unit tests, integration tests, load testing
4. **Deployment** — CI/CD setup, monitoring, documentation

## Frequently Asked Questions

### REST or GraphQL—which should I choose?

REST is simpler and sufficient for most APIs. GraphQL shines when you have complex data relationships or need flexible queries. We can help you decide.

### Can you integrate with any third-party API?

Yes. We've integrated with hundreds of services: Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio, Google Maps, and many custom APIs.

### How do you handle API security?

We implement industry best practices: JWT authentication, rate limiting, input validation, HTTPS only, and regular security audits.

### What about API documentation?

We provide interactive API documentation using Swagger/OpenAPI, making it easy for your team or external developers to integrate.

### Can you scale my existing API?

Yes. We analyze bottlenecks, optimize queries, implement caching, and architect for horizontal scaling.
