A4 — Mobile Development
Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS)
Scalable mobile backends with authentication, push notifications, storage and real-time sync built in.
Overview
Most apps need the same backend basics: sign-in, data storage, push notifications and sync. Platforms such as Firebase or Supabase provide them ready-made, if they're set up securely.
We choose and configure the right backend platform, write secure access rules and test them, so your app can grow without a custom backend from day one.

Questions
Firebase or a custom backend?+
Platforms like Firebase are faster to start; a custom backend gives more control as you grow. We'll explain the trade-offs.
Is our data secure?+
Security depends on access rules. We write and test them so users can only see their own data.
What does it cost?+
Hourly work starts from $25/hr. Fixed-price projects and dedicated teams are quoted after a free scoping call, based on scope, platforms and timeline.
