API & Backend
Backend systems and APIs in Go, type-safe contracts, sane data models, and the operational discipline to run them in production.
- Go services built for clarity and uptime
- Type-safe API contracts (Protobuf, Connect, gRPC) shared with the frontend
- Data modelling across SQL and document stores
- Observability, rate limiting, and graceful failure built in
What this is
The backend is where a product's promises quietly come true, or quietly stop being true. We build the Go services and APIs that keep them, when traffic spikes, when requirements move under you, and when the happy path turns out to be one path among many.
The contract between front and back is written once, in Protobuf, and both sides are generated from it. Your web app cannot call an endpoint that does not exist or send a field that will not validate, because the compiler stops it long before a user ever could.
How we work
We design the data model first, because it is the decision you live with longest and regret hardest when it is wrong. Then the API that fits it, then the implementation, kept deliberately boring. Boring is a compliment here: boring backends are the ones that do not wake you at three in the morning.
We design for failure instead of hoping it stays away. Input is checked at the boundary, the public edges are rate-limited, and structured logs and metrics mean that when something does go wrong, you can see what without shipping a new build just to add a print statement.
Good fit if
- You need a backend or API a frontend can trust without wrapping every call in defensive code.
- You are standing up services in Go and want them built with operational care, not just made to compile.
- An existing service is fragile, opaque, or slow, and you want it understood first and fixed second.
