SaaS & backend engineering

SaaS platforms and backends built to stay up

GBixels builds the backend of SaaS products: REST APIs, PostgreSQL data models, authentication, billing and background workers. We write them in Python with FastAPI and deploy them in containers with automated tests and CI/CD.

What you get
  • API design
  • PostgreSQL data models
  • Job queues & workers
  • Auth & billing

What's included

What SaaS & backend covers.

REST APIs, data models and background workers that hold up in production. Built in Python and FastAPI on PostgreSQL.

API design and documentation

Typed REST endpoints with generated OpenAPI documentation, so your web, mobile and partner clients all build against one clear contract.

Data modelling and migrations

A PostgreSQL schema designed for the queries your product actually runs, with versioned migrations so changes ship safely.

Background jobs and queues

Slow work such as imports, AI generation, exports and emails runs in workers, so requests stay fast and failures can be retried.

Auth, roles and billing

Sign-up, sessions, password resets, role-based permissions and subscription billing wired into the product rather than bolted on.

FAQ

SaaS & backend questions, answered.

Anything else? Email us and we will answer it.

What is FastAPI and why do you use it?

FastAPI is a Python web framework for building APIs. We use it because it validates request and response data automatically, generates OpenAPI documentation from the code, and handles concurrent requests efficiently, which keeps the API fast and the docs accurate.

Can you take over an existing backend?

Yes. We start by reading the code and infrastructure and writing a short assessment of what it does, what is risky and what we would change, then agree the order of work with you before touching anything.

How do you handle security?

Secrets stay out of the repository, access is role-based, dependencies are updated on a schedule, and we use parameterised queries and validated inputs everywhere. We can also arrange an external review before launch.
