Who is it for?

Backend & cloud solutions for every stage of growth

Whether you're launching an MVP or modernizing enterprise infrastructure, we build backend systems that scale with your ambitions.

0101

Startups

Need a reliable backend fast? We build MVPs with production-grade infrastructure from day one — APIs, databases, authentication, and deployment pipelines that scale with you from zero to thousands of users.

0202

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

Outgrown your current infrastructure? We modernize legacy backends, optimize database performance, migrate to the cloud, and build the APIs and integrations that power your digital operations.

0303

Enterprises

Transform operations with microservices architecture, robust cloud infrastructure, and high-availability systems. We build backend platforms that meet enterprise security, compliance, and performance requirements.

WHAT WE DO

Design Key's Backend and Cloud Development services

01

Backend for Web Applications

Robust server-side solutions that ensure functionality and optimal performance. We build and manage business logic, APIs, and infrastructure to provide smooth, high-performance web platforms.

02

Backend for Mobile Applications (iOS, Android)

Custom mobile backend development for different platforms and devices. Our team creates backends for both native apps (Java/Kotlin, Swift) and cross-platform apps (Flutter, React Native).

03

Cloud Infrastructure & Migration

Leverage the power and scalability of cloud computing with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. We design cloud-native architectures and migrate existing systems to reduce costs, enhance security, and enable elastic scaling.

04

API Development & Integration

RESTful and GraphQL APIs built for performance and reliability. We design clean API contracts, implement rate limiting and caching, and integrate with third-party services like payment gateways, CRMs, and analytics tools.

05

Database Architecture & Optimization

Choose the right database for your needs — PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, or a combination. We design schemas, optimize queries, implement caching layers, and ensure data integrity at scale.

06

Microservices Architecture

Break monolithic applications into scalable, independently deployable services. We design service boundaries, implement inter-service communication, and set up service discovery and load balancing.

07

DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines

Automate your development workflow with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD tools. We set up infrastructure as code, automated testing, continuous deployment, and monitoring dashboards.

08

Backend Refactoring & Modernization

Improve performance, maintainability, and scalability of existing backend systems. We implement code revisions, optimize server-side logic, upgrade dependencies, and modernize legacy architectures.

Architecture

Production-grade cloud architecture

We build scalable, secure, and maintainable backend systems using industry-proven technologies, microservices patterns, and cloud-native infrastructure.
