Launching a new platform
We design the domain model, API, data storage and release outline before development begins. We build the first release around critical scenarios, and not around the maximum list of functions.
Development of high-load custom systems
We design new platforms and modernize the backend when the growth of traffic, data and integrations becomes a risk for the business.
We start with the load and critical scenarios: we fix the SLO, architecture, migration plan and launch outline. Then we implement the changes, test them under load and pass on clear support regulations to the team.
When is a highload backend needed?
Not “more powerful server”, but architecture for real load
We work with systems where errors at their peak mean lost orders, inaccessible accounts, integration failures or manual team work.
- We need to prepare a new B2B service, marketplace, SaaS or API for growth.
- The current product is slowed down by database issues, synchronous integrations, or heavy processes.
- You need a measurable plan: what to change, how to test the results, and how to release the changes without unnecessary risk.
Load profile
We determine critical scenarios, peak demand, acceptable delays and errors.
Architecture without oversize
We choose a modular monolith, queues or independent services only where it is justified.
Safe migration
We plan changes, release reversibility, data migration and integration compatibility.
Observability and SLA
We set up metrics, logs, alerts and runbooks so that the team can see the problem before the client.
Work format
We choose the path according to the state of the system, and not according to the fashionable stack
At the first meeting we discuss the product, users, integrations and limitations. After this, we offer one of three understandable scenarios.
We modernize a working system
We find points where seconds and money are lost: heavy queries, synchronous integrations, one database, lack of cache or transparency. We change the system step by step, maintaining the functionality of the product.
We conduct a load audit
We check real user flows, fix SLOs, build a test profile and issue a technical plan with priorities, risks and implementation assessment.
Not sure which scenario is right? Let's start with a technical analysis, and not with selling a stack.
Technical circuit
What we design before the first scaling
We select technologies after load scenarios. In the project we fix the boundaries of components, data, degradation of services and a method of safe release.
Application and API
API contracts, background tasks, idempotency, rate limiting and isolation of heavy operations.
Data and Events
Storage model, indexes, cache, queues, replication and consistency rules for critical operations.
Launch and observability
CI/CD, infrastructure, metrics, logs, tracing, alerts and a clear procedure for action in the event of an incident.
Stages of a highload project
We fix technical decisions before development begins and test them in measurable scenarios, and not after an incident in production.
1
Load and business scenarios
We highlight critical operations: login, search, order, payment, exchange with the accounting system, event processing. For them, we set target delays, availability, and acceptable behavior when overloaded.
2
Audit and architectural plan
Let's look at the code, base, integrations and infrastructure. The output is the boundaries of the components, the change plan, migration risks and the composition of the first technical stage.
3
Implementation and integration
We develop or remove critical parts of the system, add caches, queues, API contracts and protection against re-processing of events where necessary.
4
Load testing
We check the agreed scenarios: response speed, errors, task queue, database resources and dependency stability. We fix identified bottlenecks by priority.
5
Launch and development
We set up the release of changes, monitoring, alerts and regulations. After launch, the team understands what metrics to look at and how to develop the system without losing control.
Relevant experience
Projects where backend and integrations were part of the product
We show not abstract technologies, but the context: what product was built, what systems were connected and what was in the technical circuit.
E-commerce and events
