Development
Backend Systems Engineering
Data models, background processing and integrations built to stay correct under load and under change.
Overview
The backend is where correctness, performance and security meet. We build and refactor the parts of a system that are difficult to change later: the data model, transactional boundaries, background processing and the integration surface with other systems.
Work here often starts with an existing codebase. We assess what is there, identify the constraints that are causing pain, and improve it incrementally rather than proposing a rewrite by default.
Methodology
How the engagement runs from start to finish.
- Review of the existing system, data model and constraints
- Prioritised plan separating quick wins from structural work
- Incremental change protected by automated tests
- Security review of data access and trust boundaries
- Load and failure-mode testing where relevant
- Documentation of the resulting architecture
