Back-End Development Services

Your product holds up in the demo, then slows down during the week traffic spikes?

Does every new feature take longer to ship because the backend resists the team, and you are not certain that your data handling would pass a security review? We build the server side that maintains speed as load climbs, protects data, and remains affordable to scale as the product grows.

Trusted by SMBs, enterprises, and Fortune 500 companies.

Back-end web development services we provide.

image

Custom back-end development

Server-side logic built to your product and data model, from one service to a full application back end, with no template to work around later.

image

Back-end architecture design

Monolith, microservices, or serverless, chosen for your product, with the reasoning written down so you can hold us to it.

image

API development and integration

REST and GraphQL APIs, third-party and payment integrations, and the connectors that tie your systems together cleanly.

image

Cloud back end and migration

Cloud-native back ends on AWS, Azure, or GCP, plus migration off on-prem or legacy hosting, with auto-scaling and monitoring set up.

image

DBA and data engineering

Data modeling, query and index tuning, and real-time processing that holds up as tables and traffic both grow.

image

Back-end security and identity management

Encryption, authentication, and access control, secure coding, and threat detection are built in from the first commit.

web-modernization-icon_default

Legacy modernization and refactoring

Audit-led modernization of back ends that have grown slow or costly to change, done in steps so the product keeps working.

audit-icon_default

Technical audit

We carry out independent technical audits, this includes architecture and code reviews, load testing, and API contract testing.

Slow queries and a cloud bill that keeps climbing

Bring us the part of your back end you like least, and we will tell you what we would do about it.

Our back-end development process.

STEP 1
Architecture review
We read your product goals, your data, and any existing code, then agree on the architecture, the load targets, and what "done" means before anyone writes a service. This is where we tell you when a monolith is the right call.
STEP 2
API and data design
We design the data model and the API contracts first, so your front-end and mobile teams can build against a stable interface while the back end takes shape.
STEP 3
Build
Engineers work in short iterations with demos, so you see working services early and can redirect before a decision hardens into rework.
STEP 4
QA, load, and security testing
Unit, contract, and load testing run during the build, with security review on data handling and access, so quality is measured continuously.
STEP 5
Launch and support
We ship behind a tested release, then stay on to monitor, tune performance, and work on the next set of features.

We build for the year traffic doubles.

01

Reliability under real load

An uptime target and a load profile agreed up front, tested against, and tuned to hold. On one platform, the back end holds above 99% availability for thousands of concurrent users.

02

Security from the first commit

Encryption, authentication, and access control are part of the build, mapped to the risks that matter, starting with the OWASP Top 10.

03

Architecture sized to your product

Monolith, microservices, or serverless decided based on your load and your team, and rearchitected when a workload outgrows its first design, so you can run and afford the back end in three years.

Why choose Brights as your back-end development company.

Our specialists challenge the brief and offer alternatives before decisions harden, so you get a partner on the design. 88% of our 120+ specialists are mid-level or senior.
