API Contract and Architectural Design
Endpoints, data types, error codes, versioning strategies (v1/v2), and consumer layers are defined.
Backend and API development is a service that presents business rules, data access architecture, authentication mechanisms, and system integrations as high-performance, secure, and sustainable services.
Simply writing a working code block is insufficient for a corporate-scale API infrastructure. Misconceived data models, inadequate authorization layers, and overlooked scalability needs can lead to serious security vulnerabilities and performance bottlenecks as the system grows.
In our development processes, API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger), standardized error models, object-level authorization (BOLA protection), idempotency for repeated requests, overloading protection (rate limiting), and end-to-end observability (logging/metrics) are designed from the ground up. Depending on the project's data consistency and consumer needs, RESTful, GraphQL, gRPC, or event-driven integration architectures are applied.
Endpoints, data types, error codes, versioning strategies (v1/v2), and consumer layers are defined.
Authentication (JWT/OAuth2), authorization (RBAC/ABAC), input validation (input sanitization), and abuse protections are integrated.
Business rules, database access layers (ORM/SQL), asynchronous background jobs (background jobs/queues), and external service connections are coded.
Unit/integration tests, API documentation, log/metric integrations, and automated deployment processes are prepared.

It depends on the need. REST is ideal for caching, simplicity, and a broad ecosystem support. GraphQL provides advantages for mobile/web applications with complex data relationships and where the client needs to select exactly the data it requires.
Security is achieved through identity verification (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ), along with object-level access control, data validation (input sanitization), rate limiting (request throttling), secret management, and audit log records.
Yes. After reviewing the existing code and database structure, new services and API endpoints can be incrementally added using a compatibility layer (adapter/facade) or the Strangler Fig pattern.
