Why the back end matters
Reliable systems, clean data and integrations that just work
At Kyan we mix strategy, design and engineering to build back ends that carry real load, keep data safe and connect cleanly to the tools you already use.
API design & development
We design and build APIs that are clear, well documented and easy to build on, whether you need REST, GraphQL or something bespoke.
Databases & data modelling
We model your data properly from the start, so your product stays fast and consistent as it grows.
Integrations
We connect your product to the CRMs, ERPs, payment systems and analytics tools you rely on, so everything talks to each other.
Cloud infrastructure & DevOps
We set up modern cloud infrastructure with automated deploys and monitoring, so releases stay calm and downtime is rare.
Security & performance
We build with security in mind and tune for performance, so your back end holds up under real world load.
Our process
Secure by design, from first brief to live service
Discover & define
We map your goals, users, data and existing systems, then agree security and compliance requirements up front, so the right protections are planned from day one.
Architect & design
We design the architecture, data model and API contracts, then review them for security so the system is safe by design before a line of code is written.
Build in sprints
APIs, data and integrations built side by side in sprints, with peer code review, static analysis and dependency scanning on every change.
Test & verify
Automated API, integration and load testing, plus dynamic scans and penetration testing, so risk falls as go-live gets closer.
Deploy
Infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and staged rollouts to the cloud, with hardened config and secrets kept out of the codebase.
Operate & evolve
Monitoring, alerting, patching and incident response keep the service healthy, and what we learn feeds the backlog. Or a clean handover to your team.
Related development services
Discover and define
We start by understanding your goals, users and technical landscape, identifying opportunities for improvement and innovation.
Design and prototype
We design the data model and the services around it, testing the shape of the system early so the build runs smoothly.
Build and deploy
Our engineers build with clean, efficient code and modern frameworks, optimising for performance, security and scale.
Evolve and grow
We help you monitor, iterate and enhance your back end post-launch, ensuring it keeps delivering value as your business scales.

Questions
Back end development, quick questions
The back end is everything users don't see: the servers, databases, APIs and logic that make a product work. It handles data, authentication, integrations and the heavy lifting behind every screen.
The front end is what people see and use in the browser or app. The back end is the engine behind it, storing data, enforcing rules and connecting to other systems. Most products need both, working closely together.
Cost depends on scope, integrations and how much bespoke logic is involved. We start with a short discovery to define the work and give you a clear estimate before development begins.
We’re not tied to one stack. We build with TypeScript, Node, Python, Go and .NET, and deploy to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or serverless platforms like Vercel and Cloudflare. Modern tooling and AI-assisted engineering mean we can pick up your stack fast and work to your spec, integrating with the systems you already run.
Yes. We often pick up existing systems, tidy them up and extend them, as well as building new services from scratch.
