App Development → API & Backend

Your App Needs
A Backend That
Won't Let It Down.

The most beautiful mobile app fails if its backend is slow, unreliable, or insecure. At Burraq, we build and integrate the APIs and backend systems that power your app — structured for scale, secured from the start, and documented so your team can maintain and extend it.

Architecture Before Integration

We design the API structure and data model before writing a line of backend code. The decisions made here determine your app's performance ceiling — we make them deliberately.

What You Get

What's Inside Every Project

REST API Development

Clean, documented RESTful APIs built to serve your mobile app — correct HTTP methods, consistent response structures, proper error codes, and versioning from the start.

Database Architecture

Properly structured relational or NoSQL database — normalised, indexed for your query patterns, and designed to scale as your user base grows without a rebuild.

Authentication & Security

JWT-based authentication, OAuth social login, role-based access control, and rate limiting — security decisions made deliberately at architecture stage, not patched in after a breach.

Real-Time Features

WebSocket or Firebase Realtime Database integration for live data — chat, notifications, live tracking, and collaborative features built reliably and at scale.

Third-Party Integrations

Payment gateways (Stripe, JazzCash, EasyPaisa), SMS and email providers, mapping APIs, analytics platforms — integrated cleanly and tested against real API responses.

Full Documentation

Every endpoint documented — request format, response structure, authentication requirements, and error codes. Your developers, current or future, can work with the API without guessing.

Our Approach

A Backend Built For Now Will Break When You Scale.

Most mobile app failures trace back to backend decisions made in the first week. Database schema that doesn't support future features. APIs that can't handle real user load. Authentication that wasn't designed for multiple roles. We make these decisions correctly at the start.

API contract agreed and documented before mobile development begins

Load testing performed before production deployment

All sensitive data encrypted at rest and in transit

Database queries analysed and indexed before launch

Our Process

How It Works

01

Architecture Design

Data model, API structure, authentication system, and third-party integrations mapped and documented before development.

02

API Development

Endpoints built, tested, and documented in parallel with mobile development — no waiting on the backend to start front-end work.

03

Integration & Testing

API connected to the mobile app and load tested — real-world usage patterns simulated before production deployment.

04

Documentation & Handover

Complete API documentation and database schema delivered — your team has everything needed to extend and maintain the system.

Client Stories

What Clients Say

"The API they built handles complex multi-vendor order flows cleanly. Every endpoint is documented — when we brought in a new developer six months later, he was productive in a week because the documentation was real."

MR

Murad R.

Marketplace App, Karachi

"Real-time tracking was the core requirement. The WebSocket implementation is stable under load — our dispatch team uses it all day without issues. Backend scaled without a rebuild when we doubled our driver count."

IA

Imran A.

Logistics Platform, UAE

"Patient data security was non-negotiable. Burraq's authentication and encryption approach was clearly thought through — we passed our security audit without remediation issues."

FAQ

Questions Worth Asking

Yes — if you already have a backend or API, we audit it, identify integration points, and connect your mobile app to it. We also flag any issues with the existing API that would affect mobile performance or security.

Laravel (PHP), Node.js, or Firebase — selected based on your requirements, scale expectations, and team. We recommend the right stack for your project, not the one we prefer to use.

Yes — we can build the API independently and deliver it with full documentation for your mobile developers to integrate against. The API contract is agreed first so both sides can work in parallel.
