Backend architecture
Consider the structure behind your applications, with attention to security, scalability and operational performance.
04 / System infrastructure
The foundations behind your business applications.
Connect backend architecture, secure APIs and databases with web and mobile applications designed around your operations.
A closer look
Start with the way your systems need to work.
Your infrastructure and applications should support the tasks people need to complete. Understanding those tasks, the information involved and the existing systems helps shape a practical direction for development.
APIs and databases
Define how systems communicate and how application data is organised to support your business requirements.
Web applications
Create responsive web experiences that connect people with the business processes they need to use.
Mobile applications
Shape mobile experiences around the tasks and devices relevant to your users and operations.
Behind the application
A clear role
for every layer.
A useful system discussion connects the experience people use with the services and data behind it. Looking at the layers together helps clarify responsibilities and dependencies.
-
EXPERIENCE
Web & mobile applications
The interfaces people use to complete tasks and work with business information.
Which tasks should the experience support? -
LOGIC & CONNECTIONS
Backend services & APIs
The application logic and connections that support how information is requested, processed and shared.
What needs to connect, and how? -
DATA
Databases
The structure behind the information your applications need to store and retrieve.
What information does the system rely on?
The final architecture depends on application needs, existing systems and agreed technical requirements.
Useful starting points
Make the discussion
specific to your business.
These questions help explain your needs and bring the right context to an initial conversation.
-
01
The systems already in place
Describe your current applications and backend environment, including connections that need to be considered.
-
02
The people and tasks involved
Explain who will use the application and which business activities it needs to support.
-
03
The requirements that matter
Identify your priorities for interfaces, data, performance and future growth.
Common questions
More about
system infrastructure.
A clear view of the scope helps you decide what to discuss next.
Does this include both backend and applications?
Yes. The existing service includes backend development, secure APIs, scalable databases, and responsive web and mobile applications.
Can we discuss a specific application requirement?
Yes. Describe the users, the tasks they need to complete and the systems or information involved. This gives the discussion a concrete starting point.
What if we are still defining the requirements?
Start with the business problem and your current systems. A clear description of the desired outcome helps identify which technical questions need to be explored next.
