Development
Backend development services
Ronas IT delivers efficient and scalable backend development services, enhancing the performance and growth potential of your applications.
Backend development workflow
By choosing us as your backend development company, you can expect the following workflow for your mobile app development or web product software development.
1
Gathering requirements
We collect details about your concept to determine the necessary basic and non-standard features. We review third-party services and existing libraries that could reduce software development costs. Our analysts then create a detailed project breakdown and provide estimates for cost and time.
2
Plan 2–3 week sprints
Our backend developers employ short iterations to deliver tangible results, such as a new app version, for your review after each sprint. the development plan is aligned with the application's design.
3
Establish scalable architecture and write clear code
We leverage pre-existing basic features and tailor them to your specific needs to save time. This allows a dedicated backend developer to focus on building unique features and providing rapid and efficient implementation.
4
Establish development environment
This step involves the creation of a development environment. This is a sort of workspace where our DevOps team work on the technical processes of building (assembling all the elements of the project) and deploying (pressing it into service or making it operational).
5
Develop features with automated tests coverage
We write code and create automated tests to facilitate smooth modifications and bolster release resiliency. These tests also generate API documentation, streamlining communication within the team. Our autotests incorporate generative AI and our custom library of standard solutions for expedited development.
6
Ensure stable software operation
We conduct automatic API tests and end-to-end product testing to prevent user issues. We use Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring and employ kube-prometheus-stack for cloud management, while Argo CD assists in tracking deployment issues.
7
Bring the software into production
Our engineers set up several environments where the created product can be deployed. Usually, we set up three environments: a development environment used by backend developers, a staging environment where the customers can check our progress, and a production environment, where software becomes available for use.
8
Provide post-launch maintenance
As we’re more than just a backend development company, our services do not stop with the web or mobile app release. Once an MVP or the first version of the app is released, a back end developer you worked with can remain engaged to add new features, enhance the product based on user feedback, and address any bugs that may occur.

What architecture is right for your project?
In software development, architecture is the blueprint for how a software system is built. It outlines how different parts of the system work together and includes decisions about the tools and technologies used. Choosing between monolithic and microservices architecture is one of the key decisions, and we assist in making this choice based on your goals, budget, and scaling plans.
Monolithic architecture
All application components are combined into a single, unified codebase and deployed as one unit. Best suited for:
Minimum Viable Products (MVPs)
Early-stage startups
Small projects with simple requirements
Teams needing fast time-to-market and straightforward development
Advantages
Rapid development and deployment:
The unified codebase allows quick prototyping and faster release cycles, critical for startups validating their ideas.
Simplicity:
Easier to understand, develop, test, and debug since everything resides in one place.
Lower operational overhead:
Requires less infrastructure and fewer resources to manage, reducing costs for small teams.
Better performance for tightly coupled components:
No network overhead between components, which can improve speed in some cases.
Ideal for small teams:
Simplified collaboration and communication within a single codebase.
Microservice architecture
The application is split into many small, independent services, each responsible for a specific business function, communicating via APIs. Best suited for:
Complex, large-scale systems
High-load platforms requiring rapid, independent scalability
Organizations with multiple development teams working in parallel
Projects needing high flexibility, resilience, and continuous deployment
Advantages
High scalability:
Each microservice can be scaled independently based on demand, allowing for efficient resource utilization.
Flexibility:
Individual teams can develop, deploy, and update services independently, encouraging faster innovation and adaptation.
Resilience to failures:
A failure in one backend service does not affect the entire system, providing overall reliability and uptime.
Technology diversity:
Teams have the freedom to choose the best-fit technologies for their services, optimizing for performance and functionality.
Support for CI/CD and DevOps practices:
The modular structure aligns well with modern development workflows, facilitating frequent and reliable releases.
What’s more?
Backend development forms the backbone of any application, serving as the foundational server-side technology that powers an app's functionality. It is indispensable for handling data storage, server logic, and ensuring seamless integration between different parts of the app.
Complementing this is frontend development, which provides the user-facing interface that allows for interaction with the backend's processes. Together, these two crucial aspects of development work in harmony to produce a comprehensive user experience.
Our expertise encompasses both these critical domains. Discover the value added by our professional frontend development services. For more detailed information about our offerings, please follow the link.
