Backend Systems & API Development in Cumbria

The Infrastructure Behind Every Great App

Every great app runs on something greater: a powerful, reliable backend. It's the engine behind the interface — managing data, handling logins, enforcing security, and keeping everything running smoothly. At MNY Digital, we build custom backend systems that form the foundation of fast, secure, and scalable digital products.

Unlike off-the-shelf platforms, a bespoke backend gives you full control. From designing the data model to defining business rules and connecting with third-party services, we tailor everything to fit your workflow. That means better performance, tighter security, and the flexibility to evolve as your business grows.

We don't use bloated frameworks or one-size-fits-all templates. Instead, we build lean, focused systems that do exactly what you need — whether that's a robust API, a secure admin portal, or infrastructure that can support your growth for years to come.

Types of Systems We Build

We create bespoke backend solutions that fit your business, whether you're building something new or need to improve what's already in place.

  • APIs & Data Services: RESTful or GraphQL APIs designed around your data and your app's needs — built with Python, Node, Firebase, or other modern frameworks.
  • Authentication & User Management: Secure login, permissions, and role-based access — integrated with your apps or external platforms.
  • Admin Panels & Dashboards: Internal tools for managing users, orders, content, or analytics — custom-built, not off-the-shelf.
  • Third-Party Integrations: Connecting your system to CRMs, payment gateways, analytics tools, or external APIs.
  • Cloud Infrastructure: We deploy to scalable platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Heroku — using the right tools for your budget and scale.
  • Data Storage & Security: From relational databases like PostgreSQL to document stores like Firestore, we choose the right solution for your project and secure it properly.

Case Studies

Tech We Use

We're not tied to one stack. Depending on your needs, we work with:

  • Python / Flask / Django / FastAPI
  • Node.js / Express
  • Firebase / Firestore
  • PostgreSQL / MySQL
  • Redis / Celery / Background Jobs
  • AWS / Google Cloud / Heroku
  • Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio, and many more

Part of a Bigger System?

We often build backend systems as part of a full-stack solution — alongside mobile apps or web apps. But we're also happy to work on backends alone, whether you're integrating with a third-party frontend, replacing an outdated API, or building a scalable foundation from scratch.

FAQs

If your product involves user accounts, data storage, content management, or integrations — then yes, a backend is essential. We'll help you determine the best architecture for your needs.

Absolutely. Whether it's your CRM, a payment gateway, or another app's API, we can integrate with the tools you already use — or help you replace outdated systems with something better.

We typically deploy to scalable platforms like Heroku, AWS, or Firebase. We'll set it all up and hand over access — or manage it long-term as part of a support package.

We follow best practices for data security, authentication, and infrastructure hardening. That includes HTTPS, secure password hashing, access controls, and database permissions — by default.
