Overview
The backend is where business logic, data integrity and performance live. We build backend services with clear domain boundaries, robust data models, background processing, caching and observability — using Node.js, Python, Go, Java or .NET depending on the problem and your team. We favour simple, well-structured architectures and introduce distribution only when scale or organisation demands it.
Common use cases
- Transactional systemsOrder, booking and payment backends with strong consistency.
- High-throughput servicesEvent processing and APIs under heavy load.
- Data processingBatch and streaming jobs for analytics and integration.
- Platform servicesShared authentication, notifications and search services.
Quick answers
Backend Development at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is backend development?
- Scalable backend systems, services and data layers in Node.js, Python, Go, Java and .NET — reliable under real load.
- Who is it for?
- Typically startups building a first product, scale-ups extending a platform, and enterprises replacing or modernising internal software.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Domain modelling
- Database design
- Asynchronous processing
- Caching strategy
- Observability
- Load testing
- Which technologies are used?
- React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Flutter — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Technical discovery → Architecture & design system → Parallel frontend and backend → Quality gates → Release and monitor.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of user roles and core workflows
- Platforms (web, iOS, Android)
- Third-party integrations
- Design depth and accessibility targets
- Data migration from existing systems
- Performance, scale and uptime requirements
- How long does it take?
- An MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks; larger platforms are delivered in phases with a usable release every few weeks.

Capabilities
What we deliver
Domain modelling
Clear boundaries and data models.
Database design
Schema design, indexing and query optimisation.
Asynchronous processing
Queues, workers and scheduled jobs.
Caching strategy
Redis and CDN caching for performance.
Observability
Structured logs, metrics and tracing.
Load testing
Performance validation against targets.
Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for web, mobile & full-stack engineering, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Performance budgetsCore Web Vitals and app start-time targets enforced in CI.
- AccessibilityWCAG-aligned components, keyboard navigation and screen-reader testing.
- Native vs cross-platformChosen per product based on performance, device features and team.
- API designConsistent, versioned, documented APIs that other teams can build on.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Technical discovery
Requirements, platforms, integrations and non-functional targets.
- 2
Architecture & design system
Component library, API contracts and data model.
- 3
Parallel frontend and backend
Contract-first development so teams move independently.
- 4
Quality gates
Automated tests, Lighthouse and accessibility checks in CI.
- 5
Release and monitor
Staged releases, crash reporting and real-user monitoring.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Secure SDLC
Code review, dependency scanning and secrets kept out of source control.
Authentication
Proven identity providers, MFA and least-privilege roles.
OWASP coverage
Protection against common web and API vulnerabilities, verified in testing.
Backups & recovery
Automated backups with tested restore procedures.

Learn moreReact vs Next.js: what's the difference and which should you build on?
React is a UI library; Next.js is a framework built on it. When a plain React single-page app is enough, and when server rendering, routing and SEO make Next.js the better choice.

Frequently asked questions
Monolith or microservices?
We usually start with a well-structured modular monolith and extract services when team size or scaling needs justify it. Premature microservices add cost without benefit.
Which backend language is best?
It depends on workload and team. Node.js and Python are productive for most products; Go and Java suit high-throughput systems.
Native or cross-platform mobile?
Cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter and React Native suit most business apps and reduce cost. Native Swift and Kotlin are better for heavy device integration, advanced graphics or platform-specific experiences. We recommend per project.
Do you handle app store submission?
Yes — builds, signing, store listings, review guidance and release automation for both Apple App Store and Google Play.
