Database & Backend

Why you need a database Guru…

You might only have a vague idea of a database or “The Cloud”. You know there has to be something behind the Submit button that makes it all work. Probably in one of those large dark rooms with walls of computers and colorful cables everywhere. If this is you, don’t worry. Our team of Utah-based professionals has it covered, and we’ll architect a powerful back end that supports the features and scale you need.

Or, maybe cloud computing is your second language, and you dream in third normal form. You might only need some advice or some extra manpower. We’re ready here, too. Whatever you need.

Api Development & Integrations

Application programming interfaces (apis) are the Internet connection point to your databases and business logic. Your web app, mobile apps, and even other systems connect through this one interface. We can build one powerful api that keeps data and logic consistent and allows you to scale as high as you need.

Having a well-built api, we can seamlessly integrate your system with others, and they can integrate with yours. This can boost revenue and encourage exponential, rapid adoption. For example, a fitness app could integrate with social media or gyms and fitness centers. A financial app could integrate directly with Quickbooks, banks, or tax software. Make it a no-brainer for potential customers to use your app!

Fast isn’t fast enough

A slow, laggy app is kryptonite to your image. Slow websites and apps often have the back end to blame. We employ a variety of optimization techniques, such as query optimization, database tuning, caching, and load balancing to ensure optimal performance and respond in the blink of an eye. When possible, we fire off multiple sub-processes at once to happen simultaneously instead of doing tasks one at a time. Let’s discuss your vision and how you want to scale, and plan a back end that will handle this and more!

Enterprise Ready

Sometimes a quick proof of concept is all you need right now. But we can go all the way to enterprise level, with high performance and reliability for large, worldwide systems that never sleep. We’d love to discuss our methods of blue/green deployments, enabling you to perform system updates with zero downtime, and database sharding and distribution to accommodate highly-performant locales across the globe.

Database Design & Management

A well-organized database is foundational to your software. Having built and maintained hundreds of them, we know how to future-proof them from the start. (Think laying plumbing pipes in the foundation of your home.) Needs will always change eventually, but we aim to avoid any unnecessary database migrations. We utilize best practices, such as “atomic transactions” which ensure your data is reliable and stays in sync, even when performing complex operations across multiple datasets at once.

Security & Authentication

Whether you are building a system that will handle sensitive government or health care information, or a to-do list, we want data to be secure. At Guru Technologies we guard against intentional or accidental system access and data leaks, architecting the system in a way that is well-organized in terms of its permissions. Using things like encryption, authentication, and data validation, we help you strike the balance between what can feel like annoying security overkill, and the must-have elements to keep things secure and give you and your users confidence to get business done.
