Scalable Backend & API Integration for High-Growth Products

Scalable Backend & API Integration for High-Growth Products in Dubai

When your product grows, your backend must stay fast, stable, and secure. Stralya designs cloud-native backends and API integrations that handle real-world traffic, complex data flows, and enterprise-grade requirements—without vendor excuses or fragile shortcuts.

What’s included

Backend foundations and API integrations built for scale

A scalable backend is not only about technology—it is about structure. We design the right boundaries, data flows, and operational safeguards so your product can grow across channels, regions, and business units without becoming fragile.

Typical deliverables

Backend architecture blueprint (services, data stores, scaling strategy)

API specification and documentation (contracts, versioning, error model)

Authentication and authorisation (JWT/OAuth2/SSO patterns where relevant)

Database design and optimisation (schema, indexes, migrations)

Third-party API integrations with resilience patterns (retries, idempotency, rate limits)

Observability setup (structured logs, metrics, tracing, alerts)

Deployment readiness (CI/CD guidance, environment configuration, runbooks)

Optional add-ons

API gateway setup, throttling policies, and monetisation-ready controls

Event-driven architecture (queues, pub/sub, background workers)

Data sync pipelines and webhooks for partners and internal systems

Legacy system modernisation and gradual migration strategy

SLA-based maintenance, monitoring, and continuous improvement

If your roadmap includes high traffic, multiple integrations, or enterprise stakeholders, we help you prevent the most common failure modes: unstable APIs, slow databases, unclear ownership, and integration chaos. The result is a backend that stays reliable as your business scales in Dubai and beyond.

Use cases we handle frequently in Dubai

Enterprise system integration

Connect your product to CRM/ERP and internal services with clear contracts, secure access, and traceable data flows.

Payments and billing workflows

Implement secure payment integrations, subscription logic, webhooks, and reconciliation-ready transaction tracking.

Logistics and order orchestration

Build reliable order pipelines with async processing, status tracking, and resilient third-party delivery integrations.

Identity, access, and multi-tenant platforms

Design secure user management, roles/permissions, and tenant isolation for B2B and government-adjacent products.

Performance and scalability upgrades

Remove bottlenecks through caching, query optimisation, background jobs, and improved observability for faster incident response.

How we work

A structured delivery process built for high-stakes platforms

We operate with Dubai’s speed and international engineering standards. Our approach reduces integration risk, prevents scope drift, and ensures your backend is production-ready—tested, documented, and maintainable.

We map business flows, data entities, integrations, constraints, and non-functional requirements (security, latency, availability). We define a clear scope and acceptance criteria.

We design the backend architecture, data model, and API contract (endpoints, payloads, auth, error handling, versioning). We align on integration patterns and SLAs.

We develop services, connectors, and event flows with clean boundaries. We handle secrets management, retries, idempotency, and rate limits to make integrations robust.

We run automated tests, integration tests, and load checks. We harden authentication/authorisation, validate data handling, and review critical paths for speed and resilience.

We deploy with observability (dashboards, alerts), runbooks, and rollback strategies. We ensure your team can operate the system confidently from day one.

We provide structured maintenance and iterative improvements: new integrations, scaling upgrades, cost optimisation, and continuous security updates.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

We commonly integrate payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, logistics and delivery platforms, analytics tools, messaging services (email/SMS/WhatsApp providers), identity providers (SSO), and custom partner APIs. We adapt to each vendor’s constraints while keeping your core system clean and maintainable.

Yes. We often stabilise and scale existing systems by addressing bottlenecks, refactoring critical modules, improving database performance, introducing caching/queues, and strengthening observability—without a risky full rewrite.

We implement robust patterns such as retries with backoff, idempotency keys, circuit breakers, rate limiting, message queues where relevant, and clear error handling. We also add monitoring and alerts so issues are detected before they impact users.

Both. We select REST, GraphQL, or a hybrid approach based on your product needs, team maturity, and performance requirements. We also handle API versioning and documentation to support long-term evolution.

Yes. Fixed-price is our primary model when the scope can be clarified. We invest in upfront scoping to reduce surprises and protect delivery timelines and quality.

That is a core goal. We deliver documented APIs, clear architecture, clean code standards, and operational tooling. If you prefer, we also provide long-term maintenance and evolution under an SLA.
