  • REST / GraphQL APIs
  • PostgreSQL / Redis
  • Auth & permissions

How it runs

  1. 1. Discovery call. Thirty minutes on the problem, the timeline and the budget.
  2. 2. Fixed-price proposal. Scope and a number in writing before any code exists.
  3. 3. Build in the open. A working version in week two, reviewed weekly.
  4. 4. Launch and hand over. Code, repositories and accounts transfer to you.
  5. 5. Support if you want it. Optional, and never a condition of handover.

Questions

We have a frontend already. Can you just build the backend?

Yes. API and database work is a service on its own — REST or GraphQL, with auth, permissions, deployment and monitoring.

Can you fix a database that has become slow?

Schema design and query work are the core of this service. We start by finding what is actually slow rather than rewriting on instinct.

Is $2K really the floor?

Yes, for a scoped backend or database piece in the 1–2 week range. Larger platforms cost more and are quoted the same way: fixed, in writing, up front.

What happens if traffic grows?

The architecture is designed to go from 10 users to 10,000 without a rebuild — that is the point of scoping it properly at the start.
