FAQ

Backend Development questions, answered.

Ask an engineer
Which back-end language is best for my project?
There is no single best choice. PHP/Laravel suits most web apps and SaaS, Node.js suits real-time features, Python suits AI and data work, and .NET suits Microsoft environments. We recommend based on your product, team and hosting.
Can you take over an existing back end?
Yes. We start with an audit of code, infrastructure and security, then stabilise and continue development.
Do you design APIs for mobile apps?
Yes. We design APIs specifically for mobile clients, with efficient payloads, offline-friendly sync and push notifications.
How much does backend development cost?
Backend cost depends on the number of features and APIs, data volume, integrations with other systems, security and compliance needs, and the hosting architecture. Vibidsoft scopes uncertain projects with a fixed-price assessment from $1,500, then builds defined work as milestone projects with a fixed price per milestone. Continuous development runs as an outcome pod from $4,000 per month, and live systems can be covered by a care plan from $1,500 a month.
How do you keep a back end and its data secure?
Back-end security comes from layered practices rather than a single tool. We apply the OWASP Top 10 as a baseline, uses proven authentication, gives every service and user only the access it needs, encrypts data in transit and at rest, keeps secrets out of source code and updates dependencies regularly. Every change gets senior code review, and logs and alerts help spot unusual activity early.
Should we build a monolith or microservices?
Most new products should start with a well-structured monolith, because it is faster to build, cheaper to host and easier to change while requirements are still settling. Microservices make sense when separate parts of the system need to scale or be released independently, or when several teams work on them in parallel. A modular monolith keeps the option to split out services later without a rewrite.
How long does it take to build a back end and API for a mobile app?
A back end for a typical mobile app, with user accounts, core data, push notifications, an admin panel and one or two integrations, usually takes two to four months. Timelines grow with payments, real-time features, offline sync and complex permissions. We design the API contract first, so mobile and back-end work can proceed in parallel, and demos progress every two weeks.
Can Vibidsoft add AI or LLM features to our existing back end?
Yes. Vibidsoft connects existing back ends to large language models for tasks such as answering questions over your own documents, summarising records, classifying requests and extracting data from files. We add these as separate services or background jobs, control what data leaves your system, and log usage and cost. Your current stack, whether PHP, Node.js, Python or .NET, can stay in place. See our AI development service.
