Cloud backend for your mobile and web apps
What users see on their phone is half the app; the other half lives on the server. We build cloud backends for mobile and web apps: APIs, databases, login, notifications, file storage, and scheduled jobs. We set up your app’s server on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, with backups, monitoring, and an architecture that handles growth without a rebuild.
Updated:
- Secure, documented APIs
- Infrastructure that scales with your app
- Backups and monitoring
The part of your app no one sees, and everything depends on
10 years building for businesses
Backends we build
For new apps or to replace one that has reached its limits.
What your app’s backend includes
Everything your app needs to work, stay secure, and stay up.
Logic and data
- Database design.
- Documented REST or GraphQL API.
- Business rules and validations.
Services
- Authentication and roles.
- Push notifications and emails.
- Image and file storage.
Infrastructure
- Cloud deployment.
- Automatic backups.
- Monitoring and failure alerts.
How we build your backend
We design before we code, deliver in versions you can test on your phone, and support you through launch and later improvements.
-
Step 1: Product workshop
We pin down the problem, the user, and the value proposition in a working session.
You: take part in the workshop
You get: a product map and priorities -
Step 2: Architecture
We choose technology, infrastructure, and integrations with growth in mind.
You: approve costs and technical decisions
You get: an architecture document -
Step 3: Iterative build
We develop in short releases with progress demos.
You: attend the demos
You get: working versions -
Step 4: Launch and measurement
We go to market, measure behavior, and adjust.
You: define the success metrics
You get: a product in production and metrics

When you need a solid backend
Signs the server is a priority.
Many users at once
The app slows down at peak hours.
Sensitive data
Payments, health, or personal information.
Automated processes
Tasks that run without anyone triggering them.
Backend as a service or custom backend
Tools like Firebase or Supabase speed up the start; a custom backend gives you control as the logic grows.
| Aspect | Backend as a service (Firebase, Supabase) | Custom cloud backend |
|---|---|---|
| Startup cost | Very fast. | Requires more upfront work. |
| Complex logic | Limited to what it allows. | No design limits. |
| Cost as you grow | Can rise quickly with usage. | More predictable and easier to optimize. |
| Vendor lock-in | Tied to the provider. | Portable across clouds. |
We use both approaches and recommend the one that fits your stage; sometimes you start with one and migrate later.
FAQ about app backend and cloud infrastructure
Which cloud is best: AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure?
All three are reliable. We choose based on your integrations, the team that will manage it, and the estimated cost for your usage volume.
How much does it cost to run a cloud server?
It depends on traffic, storage, and the services used. We give you a monthly estimate before deployment and set up spending alerts.
Can you build just the backend if I already have the app?
Yes. We build the API your team or your app vendor needs, with documentation to connect it.
How is this different from API integration?
Integration connects your app to external services that already exist. The backend is your own server: your data, your rules, and your APIs.
What other names is a cloud backend known by?
Also known as backend development, mobile app server, API for apps, or cloud infrastructure for apps. It’s related to PWAs, progressive web apps, React, Laravel, responsive design, and offline mode, topics we review with you when the project calls for them.
