Forge API Infrastructure
The Challenge
ForgeStack's monolithic Node.js backend was a single point of failure serving 12 microservices. Database queries were unoptimized, authentication was home-rolled, and there was no monitoring. A single developer leaving would have been catastrophic.
Our Approach
We decomposed the monolith into bounded contexts, migrated to Supabase for auth and real-time, redesigned the PostgreSQL schema with proper indexing, and implemented a Hono-based API gateway. Everything is typed end-to-end with TypeScript and documented via OpenAPI.
The Outcome
API response time improved 4x. The system now has 99.97% uptime over 6 months. The team onboarded 3 new developers in under a week thanks to comprehensive documentation and type safety.

“They turned our spaghetti backend into something our team is genuinely proud of. The documentation alone was worth the investment.”
