Backend Development FAQs

We match the language to your team and workload. Node.js and Python for product speed, Go for high-throughput services, Java or .NET for enterprise ecosystems.

Usually a well-structured modular monolith first. We extract services only when scale or team structure justifies it.

Contract-first design with OpenAPI, automated contract tests and backwards-compatible versioning.
