Backend
APIs & backend systems
Services, APIs and data models in Java, Spring Boot and Node.js, designed to grow without a rewrite.
Backend, cloud & AI development
Software that holds up in production.
ProdBuilds designs and builds backend systems, APIs and cloud infrastructure that scale without a painful rewrite, from a first MVP to the platform you already run.
No spam. Just a conversation.
Services
Backend, cloud and AI work, from first version to production scale.
Scale
Scaling & modernisation
Caching, queues and stateless services that steady a struggling system, and a way out of the monolith that isn’t a rewrite.
Cloud
Cloud infrastructure
AWS, Docker and Kubernetes set up properly: deployments, CDN, domains and the operational basics.
Product
MVPs & web apps
React and Node.js products, and real-time features on Firebase, from first release to production.
Automation
Automation & integrations
Web automation, background jobs and third-party integrations that run reliably and on schedule.
AI
AI integrations
LLM features and MCP servers that connect AI assistants to your data and tools, with limits you control.
How we handle data
Your data stays yours.

Do we sell client data, share it for advertising, or use it to train models

At most, to delete client data after an agreement ends
How we work
From first call to production, in four steps.
-
01 — Discover
Scope & strategy
We map your requirements, constraints and success criteria, so there are no surprises three months in.
-
02 — Design
Architecture & plan
The architecture, data model and main user flows are agreed before production code is written.
-
03 — Build
Iterative delivery
Short cycles with regular demos and automated tests, so you see working software, not status updates.
-
04 — Deploy
Launch & support
We handle production deployment and monitoring, and stay on for support after launch.

Engineering notes.
How one hanging API takes down a whole Spring Boot app
We pointed a Spring Boot app at a partner API that never answers. Defaults: offline in 10 seconds, no recovery. Timeouts fixed it; virtual threads and Apache HttpClient each had a surprise.
Why your Spring Boot @Scheduled job runs twice (and what actually stops it)
Add a second instance and every @Scheduled job runs twice. We counted the duplicates across six setups: ShedLock fixes it, but only with two settings that are easy to get wrong.
The case of the vanishing JobRunr runs
Spring, Quartz and JobRunr ran the same job every minute, and JobRunr quietly lost a run. The log line that gave it away, the gap behind it and the 5.2.0 fix.
