Backend Development, Built for Austin Businesses

Orphinx is an Austin, Texas software development team, and Backend Development is one of the core technologies we build with for clients across Central Texas — from downtown Austin startups to established businesses in Georgetown and Pflugerville. The server-side systems, APIs, and data layers that power everything your users see, built for reliability under real production load. In practice, that means APIs serving mobile and web clients, real-time features like chat and live dashboards, and AI/ML-integrated backend services.

Our Methodology

How We Deliver Backend Development Projects

A transparent process for Backend Development work, whether you're in Austin, Georgetown, or anywhere else we support remotely.

1

Discovery & Scoping

We start with a working session (in person for Georgetown-area clients, remote otherwise) to map your actual requirements against what Backend Development can and can't do well.

2

Architecture & Planning

A concrete technical plan for the Backend Development build, including where it will and won't need custom work, before any code is written.

3

Iterative Build & Review

Development in short, reviewable cycles, with working Backend Development builds shared regularly rather than a single reveal at the end.

4

Launch & Ongoing Support

Structured launch checklist, monitoring setup, and a clear support plan for the weeks and months after go-live.
