What custom backend engineering looks like
Identifying needs
We discuss your requirements in workshops held either in German or in English, either on your site or in one of our offices in Zurich city centre.
Customising solutions
We adapt our approach to suit your specific needs to create custom solutions.
Using our expertise
Our team of experienced software engineers combine proven methods with the latest technologies for an ideal backend.
Developing in an agile way
Our backend engineering activities are agile and flexible, because we plan for the unexpected.
Speaking lots of languages
We prefer programming in Kotlin – but we can also work with Java, C#, Python, Swift, Go, Rust, C, Groovy, TypeScript or JavaScript.
Reviving frameworks
We particularly like working with Spring and Ktor. But we also use Micronaut, Quarkus, Vert.X, JakartaEE/JavaEE, Akka or .NET.
Using full stack
Thanks to full-stack engineering, the frontend and backend are implemented by the same person. This means that your requirements can be implemented as efficiently as possible. And you have the same contact for the entire process.
Minimising risks
A preliminary study or proof-of-concept reduces risks and uncertainties before the project actually starts.
Developing and operating
Thanks to DevOps, here at Ergon development, automated testing and build and deployment pipelines go hand in hand.
Backend programming and backend engineering
Backend engineering is the process of developing and maintaining server-side applications, databases and integrated systems. Successful backend programming defines the logic and develops database interactions, focusing on user interfaces and security. As main actors in the background, backend engineers take care of the functionality and performance of all software running on their servers.
