Backend Development (Golang)
When your company needs reliable, scalable systems.
We build production-ready backend services in Go — from REST and gRPC APIs to event-driven microservices — with a focus on testability, speed, and maintainability.
Architecture Consulting & Team Scaling
When your company needs to scale fast — without chaos.
We help you design scalable backend architecture and plug in experienced engineers to keep shipping smooth, even during high growth or technical transitions.
System Design & Architecture
When your company needs to scale with confidence.
Get expert support on designing the foundation of your systems: APIs, services, queues, databases — built to handle scale, change, and real-world complexity.
Senior-Led Engineering
Architecture Grounded in Reality
We don’t over-engineer or chase trends. Every system we design is shaped by experience with real-world production loads, edge cases, and evolving requirements.
Efficient Collaboration
Fast Onboarding, Minimal Noise
We drop into your team with minimal friction. Clear communication, fast ramp-up, and clean Git history — so your internal devs stay focused on shipping.
Built for Scalability
Backend Systems That Grow With You
We design and build backend systems with performance, modularity, and future scale in mind. Whether you’re moving fast or preparing for long-term growth, we write code that won’t bottleneck your team later.
Kaluza (OVO Energy)
Enhancing Smart Home Integration for a Renewable Energy Platform
The Challenge
Kaluza, part of OVO Energy, was expanding its smart energy platform to support devices like heat pumps, solar panels, and inverters. The engineering team needed to build a robust, scalable backend system that could reliably integrate third-party APIs, stream real-time data, and ensure visibility and performance in production.
Our Role
We joined as a senior backend contractor to:
Design and develop a new system from scratch, integrating external APIs for various smart home devices
Implement real-time data processing using Kafka and Avro for stream handling
Build monitoring and alerting dashboards with Grafana to ensure system health and reliability
Contribute to an agile team focused on delivering secure, scalable, cloud-native services on GCP
The Outcome
✅ A fully integrated, production-grade backend system powering smart device capabilities
✅ End-to-end observability using Grafana, helping operations teams detect and respond to issues quickly
✅ Improved platform scalability and modularity, setting the foundation for further device integrations
✅ Delivered value fast by adapting to a complex domain and contributing from day one
At GetGoodSoftware, we’re a lean, senior-led backend engineering company.
