Backends that scale with your commerce stack

Where Shopify brands waste engineering time on backends, and what we fix

Eight problems account for most of the backend pain we see. Each one has a proven, production-grade fix we run as standard.

• Fragile one-off scriptsCron jobs and ad-hoc scripts that break when payloads change. We replace them with versioned services, proper error handling and clear ownership.
• No observability“It stopped working” with no logs or metrics. We add structured logging, tracing, alerts and SLOs so issues are visible before customers are.
• Undocumented servicesOnly the original developer knows how it works. We ship schemas, runbooks and ownership maps so the next engineer can move fast.
• Database and queue debtUnindexed queries, unbounded jobs and silent queue growth. We design schemas, indexes and job patterns that hold under real traffic.
• Weak auth and secrets handlingOver-privileged tokens and secrets in code. We implement least-privilege access, secret managers and secure multi-tenant patterns.
• No path to scaleArchitecture that works for one store and collapses at volume. We design for horizontal growth, rate limits and clear capacity limits from day one.
• Tight coupling to Shopify UIBusiness logic trapped in Liquid or admin hacks. We extract it into clean backends and APIs so themes and apps stay maintainable.
• Vendor lock-in without exitBlack-box services with no export or ownership. We deliver code, credentials, schemas and deployment docs so you fully own the stack.
