Full-cycle backend development
that delivers results.

JetRockets is a full-cycle backend development company. We design APIs, model data, and build the server-side logic behind production applications — mostly in Ruby on Rails, where we've worked for 15+ years. We've built platforms from scratch, scaled high-traffic systems, and taken over codebases other teams left behind.

Backend services,
end to end

From API design to deployment infrastructure — the full range of backend work a production application needs.

💻
Backend Web and Mobile Application Development
The server side of web and mobile apps: predictable response times, clean architecture, and code the next engineer can read.
Custom Backend Development
Built around your actual business logic and operational workflows, not adapted from a template.
🏗
Backend System Architecture
Architectures that can absorb new features and heavier traffic without a rewrite.
🔗
API Development Services
REST and GraphQL APIs that connect your systems and third-party services — versioned, documented, and tested.
🗃
Database Design and Integration
Optimizing data storage and retrieval for enhanced efficiency, with proper indexing, normalization, and query optimization.
Application Logic Development
Business rules implemented correctly and covered by tests, so edge cases surface in CI instead of in production.
Backend Infrastructure
Creating the infrastructure needed for a strong digital foundation, including cloud deployment and DevOps practices.
🛠
Maintenance and Support
Ensuring your backend remains robust with ongoing support, monitoring, performance tuning, and security updates.

🔗
Integration Solutions
Connecting components, APIs, webhooks, and external services into one coherent, observable system.

When Ruby isn't enough

Our first step with every project is to understand your business and your goals, then pick the right tool for each part of the system. From mobile applications and revamped websites to complex database-driven systems, we choose the technology to fit the problem — not the other way around.

Addressing your queries

The backend determines your application's speed, reliability, and data security — everything the user experiences ultimately depends on it. Without a solid backend, even the best-designed frontend will struggle to deliver a quality experience.
Look for a provider with a verifiable track record, depth in your specific stack, and a serious approach to security and scalability. Communication, transparency, and post-launch support matter just as much — ask how they handle each before signing.
Databases store and manage the data your application relies on. Effective data storage and retrieval are critical for optimal performance and user experiences. We design database schemas with proper indexing, normalization, and query optimization to ensure your application performs well at scale.
Our scalable backend solutions are designed to accommodate growing user bases and evolving requirements, ensuring your application can expand without hindrance. We architect systems with horizontal scaling, caching strategies, and efficient resource utilization built in from day one.
Our primary backend tech stack includes Ruby on Rails, which we've specialized in for over 15 years. We also work with Node.js, Python, and other technologies when the project requires it. The choice depends on factors like project requirements, scalability needs, and integration requirements.
