01
REST & GraphQL APIs
Clean, versioned APIs that power web, mobile and desktop surfaces — documented, tested and secured.
Development / 04
The systems that hold everything together.
APIs, databases, authentication, queues and integrations — the backend layer that every surface depends on, built to last.
What we build
Reliable infrastructure beneath every product.
02
Authentication & auth
Role-based access control, SSO, OAuth, API keys and session management — built correctly from the start.
03
Database design
Postgres schema design, migrations, indexing strategy and query optimisation for production workloads.
04
Webhooks & event systems
Event-driven architecture connecting your system to external platforms — reliably, with retries and dead-letter queues.
05
Third-party integrations
ERP, CRM, payment, messaging and mapping systems wired into your stack — not bolted on the side.
06
Edge functions
Serverless compute at the edge — low-latency API handlers, middleware and background jobs globally distributed.
Technology
One source of truth. Clean contracts. Secure from the first commit.
Darkstar designs the data model first — one source of truth in Postgres, with every surface reading from and writing to the same schema. APIs are explicit contracts: versioned, typed end to end, and documented so the frontend, mobile and third-party integrations all build against the same shape. Access control, validation and audit logging go in from the first commit — not bolted on after launch. And every backend ships with observability built in: structured logs, health checks and alerting, so when something moves you see it before the customer does.
