Custom AI Backends

Production-grade FastAPI/Python backends that put AI features behind a fast, typed, well-tested API, built to scale past a prototype.

A lot of AI prototypes never make it to production because the backend was never built to carry real traffic. We build FastAPI services designed for production from day one: typed request/response contracts, async processing for long-running AI calls, proper rate limiting and caching, and a deployment pipeline that doesn't require a platform team to operate.

What's included

  • FastAPI service design: typed schemas, async task queues, caching
  • Model/provider integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source, or self-hosted)
  • Authentication, rate limiting, and cost controls
  • CI/CD pipeline and containerized deployment
  • Load-tested before launch, monitored after

How it works

  1. 01
    Scope the APIDefine the contract: endpoints, latency budget, expected load, and cost ceiling.
  2. 02
    BuildFastAPI + async workers, with typed schemas end-to-end and test coverage on the critical paths.
  3. 03
    Load testTraffic-tested against realistic concurrency before it ever sees production.
  4. 04
    Deploy & monitorContainerized deploy with logging/alerting on latency, errors, and model spend.
