Backend development

The Backend half of the development team is responsible for the last part of the development cycle. After a feature is designed and created in the Frontend, the Backend team must make this feature not only functional, but also performant. Nobody wants to visit a slow website, right?

More than a Backend developer

In The Valley, we are not just working on a single project. For every client and project there is a multi-disciplinary team that’s responsible for the delivery of the clients’ request.

The multi-disciplinary team isn’t just to share the responsibility. As a Backend developer we work closely with Frontend to implement the HTML and styling changes. However, we are also actively working with the UX-team to make sure the solutions designed by them will also work technically.

Technology & Tooling

We are a development partner with a tool-agnostic approach to building software and websites. Depending on project needs, we leverage PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions, as well as open-source systems. Our team specializes in a variety of frontend frameworks, as wel as bespoke development for engaging experiences.

We have extensive experience with platforms such as Umbraco, Optimizely, Salesforce, Sanity and Storyblok, and we tailor their implementation to suit either monolithic or headless architectures, based on the specific requirements of each project.

Our hosting solutions are designed for optimal performance and reliability. We utilize Azure for full-stack and enterprise-level deployments, and Vercel for fast, scalable frontend hosting.

Knowledge sharing

Every once in a while, we replace our developer meeting with a longer lasting hackathon. During these hackathons we challenge the teams with a topic we want to expand our knowledge on. This can be a direct topic for the client, but can also be something relevant for ourselves. Our last hackathon topic was how we can use AI to implement image validation on customer input to prevent unwanted personalization. These are fun, collaborative challenges that function both as team building as expanding our knowledge and skills on cutting-edge topics.
