Why Teams Come to Us

Your backend is the engine that powers everything. When it's fragile, slow, or poorly designed, every part of your business suffers. Here's what we solve:

Your systems don't talk to each other

Data trapped in silos. Manual CSV exports. No automation because nothing integrates. Your team wastes hours on workarounds.

Third-party APIs are a nightmare

Stripe, Salesforce, Shopify integrations break constantly. Rate limits hit. Webhooks fail. No one knows how to fix it.

Your API is a security risk

No authentication. No rate limiting. Endpoints exposing sensitive data. One breach away from disaster.

Performance bottlenecks everywhere

API calls timing out. Database queries taking 10+ seconds. Every new feature makes it worse.

What We Build

We design and build backend systems that are fast, secure, and maintainable:

  • REST & GraphQL APIs: Clean, documented APIs with proper versioning and authentication
  • Third-Party Integrations: Stripe, Shopify, Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio — we connect your tools
  • Microservices Architecture: Break monoliths into scalable, independent services
  • Webhooks & Real-Time Data: Event-driven systems that sync data instantly
  • Database Design & Optimization: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis — whatever fits your needs
  • Background Jobs & Queues: Async processing for emails, reports, and heavy computations

We use Node.js, Python, Go, and cloud-native tools like AWS Lambda and Docker. Everything is built with security, observability, and scale in mind.

Who This Is For

This service is a fit if you:

  • Need to connect multiple platforms or build custom integrations
  • Want an API that can handle thousands of requests per second
  • Are migrating from a monolith to microservices
  • Need backend expertise but don't want to hire a full-time team

Why Centipede?

We've built APIs for fintech, e-commerce, SaaS platforms, and enterprise systems. We know how to handle authentication, rate limiting, caching, error handling, and monitoring — the unglamorous stuff that separates production-ready from "it works on my machine."

Our process: Discovery → Architecture Design → Build → Test → Deploy → Monitor. You get detailed documentation, automated tests, and a system that won't wake you up at 3 AM.

Pricing for APIs & Backend Systems

Most API and backend projects range from $12K to $60K+ depending on complexity, integrations, and infrastructure requirements. Simple integrations start at $5K.

We provide fixed-price quotes after a discovery call. No hourly billing surprises.
