Core Weave Consulting
Backend programming consulting when queues stall, schemas drift, or deployment runbooks no longer match how your services actually run.
When “it works on my machine” stops being funny
Teams call us when background workers fall behind, idempotency keys collide, or a migration needs a cutover plan that finance and ops can sign off. We stay inside backend engineering: services, data stores, messaging, observability hooks, and the glue code that keeps them honest in production.
Every engagement is project-based. Scope, milestones, fees, and delivery terms are written down and agreed before implementation hours begin — no open-ended retainer by default, no shelf packages pretending one size fits every stack.
Production backends fail in boring ways: partial writes, stale caches, and contracts that nobody owns. We fix the boring parts so your team can ship features again.Problem-led engagements · Singapore time zone coordination
Engineering rooms, not slide decks
We pair with your leads on concrete artifacts: OpenAPI diffs, migration scripts, load-test notes, and rollback steps you can hand to on-call engineers. If a task is front-end polish or brand design, we say so early and help you find the right specialist instead of stretching the statement of work.
Trace the failure before rewriting the service
We start from logs, metrics, and the smallest reproducible case. That might mean fixing connection pool sizing, tightening retry policies, or documenting the exact sequence that corrupts state — only then do we talk about larger refactors.
Contracts your integrators can rely on
Versioned HTTP and event schemas, explicit error envelopes, and migration paths for downstream consumers. We write the backend changes and the checklist your partner teams use to validate their clients.
Who this is for
For
Product companies with an existing codebase that need senior backend hands for a bounded refactor, integration, or reliability push.
Not for
Greenfield MVPs that need a full product studio, 24/7 managed ops, or fixed-price work without a discovery pass.
Typical first step
A written problem brief, a 60–90 minute technical call, then a proposal with milestones and fees — all before code changes on your repositories.
