Build · Backend

Backends that hold up under real load.

The backend is where the money, the data and the risk live. We design and build Node.js APIs and services — and fix the ones that fall over under load, leak data, or nobody dares deploy. Financial-grade correctness when it matters.

APIs & scale
Diagnosis

What we do with Node.js

New APIs and services

Clean, documented APIs and integrations designed to scale and to be maintained.

It won't scale

Fine with ten users, on fire with ten thousand. We find the bottlenecks and fix them.

It's slow or flaky

Timeouts, memory leaks, mystery failures — diagnosed and resolved, not papered over.

Data correctness matters

Payments, reconciliation, financial data — where 'mostly right' isn't good enough.

How we build backends

A clear method, not a black box.

Every engagement is fixed-scope and reversible. You always know the next step, the cost, and the outcome before you commit.

  1. Correct before clever

    We get the data model and the invariants right first — especially where money and reconciliation are involved.

  2. Observable and testable

    Logging, metrics and tests around the critical paths so problems surface early, not in production at 2am.

  3. Scaled deliberately

    Profile, find the real bottleneck, fix it. No premature complexity, no guessing.

What you get

Concrete deliverables, in your hands.

No vague retainers of hours. You get artifacts you own and can act on — whatever you decide to do next.

  • Documented, tested Node.js APIs or services
  • Integrations with third-party systems
  • Performance and scaling fixes
  • Observability: logging and metrics
  • Handover or ongoing retainer
The path

From first call to shipped.

  1. Free 15-minute triage call

    Same week · free

    Tell us what's broken. We ask the sharp questions, give an honest first read on whether it's a rescue, a refactor or a rebuild, and agree on next steps. No sales theatre.

    • Honest first assessment
    • Rescue / refactor / rebuild verdict
    • Clear next step

    You leave knowing where you stand — even if you never hire us.

  2. Rescue Assessment

    About 5 business days

    We get read access and go deep: architecture, security, technical-debt map, test gaps, CI/CD and deployment. You get a scored report with a prioritized fix roadmap and a go/no-go verdict.

    • Scored codebase report
    • Prioritized remediation roadmap
    • Fixed quote for the fix
    • Go / no-go recommendation

    A clear, evidence-based plan — and a fixed price for the work.

  3. Stabilization Sprint

    2–4 weeks · fixed scope

    We stabilize the highest-risk parts first: stop the bleeding, fix what's broken, harden security, and get you to a state you can ship and build on. Fixed scope, daily visibility.

    • The critical fixes, shipped
    • Security & deployment hardening
    • Documentation of what we changed
    • Daily progress you can see

    A working, deployable product you understand and control.

  4. Delivery & retainer

    Ongoing · month to month

    Finish the roadmap and, when you're ready, keep a senior team on tap to build the next things — features, mobile, scale. Month to month, cancel anytime. You keep all code and access, always.

    • Roadmap delivered
    • Optional ongoing engineering team
    • You own all code and infrastructure

    From rescued to shipping — with a team that already knows your code.

Questions

Straight answers.

Bank-Lift parses bank statements and verifies that balances reconcile before export — financial-grade correctness with live payments and hardened security. That's the discipline we bring to every backend.

Yes. We diagnose the real cause — load, leaks, bad queries, architecture — and fix it, rather than throwing servers at the symptom.

Covered. We work across SQL and NoSQL, design the data layer, and handle deployment on Vercel, your cloud, or self-managed infrastructure.

Get started

Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you the truth.

Start with a free 15-minute call or a written quote. If it's salvageable, we'll show you exactly how — and what it takes.

  • You keep all code & access — always
  • NDA on request, before you share anything
  • Free, no-obligation first read
