APIDevelopment

What’s Included:

  • OpenAPI contract
  • Authentication & scopes
  • Versioning policy
  • Rate limiting
API Development — engineering work in progress

We build documented, versioned APIs another team can integrate against without having to read your controllers to find out what they do.

Working Process

  • Contract First – The schema is agreed and published before the implementation exists, so the teams consuming it can start building the same week you do.
  • Build in Sprints – Two-week cycles against a signed scope, with the contract tested on every merge so the documentation cannot drift from the behaviour.
  • Launch & Support – A rehearsed go-live with a rollback plan, then 6–12 months of monitoring, patches and bug fixes included.

The Contract Is The Product

An API is used by people who will never meet you and cannot ask a question. Everything they need has to be in the contract — what exists, what it returns, what happens when it fails, and what you promise not to change.

  • OpenAPI or GraphQL schema published, versioned and tested against the running service, so the docs are generated from the truth rather than written beside it.
  • Authentication, scopes, pagination, idempotency and rate limits designed once and applied across every endpoint rather than per route.

What We Deliver

  • REST or GraphQL APIs with a published schema
  • Authentication, scopes and rate limiting
  • A versioning and deprecation policy
  • Sandbox environment and integration guides

Built To Be Handed Over

Documentation, tests and runbooks are part of the deliverable, not an afterthought you have to chase us for. Source, infrastructure definitions and design files live in accounts you control from the first commit.

Tools and stack behind our api development work
28+

Platforms, storefronts and internal systems delivered for clients across eCommerce, health tech, fintech and logistics.

95%

Client satisfaction across delivered engagements — measured on what shipped, not on what was promised at kickoff.

99.9%

Typical uptime after migration, with monitoring, alerting and zero-downtime deploys set up as part of the build.

What You Get

One senior team from discovery through to launch and beyond — weekly written updates, an open backlog, and direct access to the engineers doing the work. The people in your kickoff call are the people writing the code.

  • Contract first – A published schema before implementation, so consumers start the same week you do.
  • Operable by design – Authentication, rate limits, idempotency and logging applied once, across every endpoint.
  • Handover & support – Documentation, runbooks and monitoring you own, plus 6–12 months of post-launch support.

  1. Discovery

    2 weeks

    Understand the work before designing for it

    Two weeks in the depot and the finance office. Eleven spreadsheets found, four of which disagreed about the same stock.

    Signed scope

  2. Architecture

    2 weeks

    Make the expensive decisions deliberately

    Stock, jobs and invoices modelled as one ledger, so a movement is recorded once and read everywhere rather than re-keyed three times.

    Data model

  3. Build

    11 weeks

    Two-week cycles against a signed scope

    Five cycles. The depot module shipped first because that was the one costing a day a week.

    Staging every fortnight

  4. Launch

    1 week

    A rehearsed go-live with a way back

    Run in parallel with the spreadsheets for nine days, until both sets of numbers agreed on a Friday close.

    Cutover

  5. Support

    6 months

    Months, not a handover email

    Monitoring, month-end patches, and two rounds of changes the depot asked for once they had actually used it.

    Handover

[ Project Brief ]

Bring us the brief, webring back the scope

Tell us what the system has to do, the metric you'd move, andthe deadline. Within 4 business hours we send back a writtenscope, a fixed estimate, and the two projects closest to theproblem you're describing.

Rather say it than type it?

Both of these reach the engineers who would do the work — no account manager in between, no discovery deck before the first question.
