Services

Go backend development

Fast, lean backend services in Go — for the parts of your system where throughput, latency and simple operations count.

Small services that do one job well

Go is our choice when a backend service has to be fast and unfussy to run: an API that serves many requests, a worker that processes data in the background, or a small tool that glues systems together.

We keep these services deliberately small. One service, one job, a clear API, and as few moving parts as possible. That makes them quick to build, cheap to operate and easy to replace when requirements change.

  • High performance backend services
  • HTTP and gRPC APIs between systems
  • Workers, queues and data processing
  • Command-line tools and internal tooling

Why we like Go for this

Performance without tricks

Go handles many concurrent requests on modest hardware. That means fewer servers, lower bills and headroom when traffic grows.

Standard library first

We build on what ships with Go and add dependencies only where they earn their place. Less code from third parties means fewer updates and fewer surprises.

Easy to run

A Go service compiles to a single binary and a small container image. It starts in milliseconds and is simple to deploy, scale and monitor.

Tested and uniform

Tests and benchmarks with go test, static checks with go vet, one formatting style for everyone. Go code written by different people looks the same.

The process

  1. Find the right cut

    Not everything needs to be a separate service. We work out with you which part of the system really benefits from Go.

  2. Build and measure

    We define the API first, then build, test and benchmark. Performance claims come with numbers from your own workload.

  3. Ship and operate

    The service gets a pipeline, metrics and alerts like everything else we run, on your own infrastructure or in EU data centres.

What our clients say

Shop and servers from one team: hedge10 keeps developing our Magento shop and runs the entire infrastructure behind it. After more than ten years of working together, we know we can rely on them.

Our website grows with us: hedge10 keeps our Statamic site and the server behind it up to date and develops it step by step. That lets us focus entirely on our business.

Working with us

Developers, not account managers

You talk directly to the people who write your code: in your chat, your issue tracker, your pull requests. No ticket queue and nobody in between.

Part of your team

We join your standups, work in your repository and follow your review process. You see every change as it happens, not in a monthly report.

Done when you don't need us

Code, infrastructure and documentation are yours from the first commit. We stay until your team can carry on alone, and keep running things only if you want us to.

What are you working on?

We act as advisors and architects, not just developers. We want to be as proud of your project as you are. Custom software and the infrastructure it runs on: that's what we do best.
