Backend uploads, search & scheduled jobs
User uploads and media, search and filtering, scheduled background jobs, and the emails the server sends on its own — digests, summaries, reports.
What we build
The capabilities almost every real product grows into: people upload photos, documents and attachments and get them back quickly; they search and filter records and actually find things; work that shouldn't block a tap — nightly imports, weekly summary emails, report exports — runs on a schedule in the background. If the search should understand meaning rather than keywords — ask-your-documents over a company's files — that is the RAG service; moving data in from an old system is data migration.
What you get
- File upload, storage and serving working end to end for the agreed file types
- Search and filter endpoints over the agreed fields, returning paginated results
- Each scheduled job named in the plan running on its stated schedule, with a visible run history
- Notification and digest emails sending from the server for the agreed events
How the work unfolds
- Store and serve user files and media
- Build search, filtering and pagination
- Run scheduled and background jobs
- Send server-side notifications and digests
What shapes the price
Before you see a number, our scoping conversation asks:
- Will people upload files — photos, documents, attachments? Upload, storage and serving is its own pipeline with signed access.
- Do people need to search and filter through the records? Search, filtering and pagination are their own endpoints and indexes.
- Is there work that should happen on a schedule — overnight imports, recurring reports? Scheduled jobs need a runner, retries and a visible history.
- Should the server send emails on its own — digests, summaries, reminders? Server-initiated email is separate from the transactional messages other services send.
How an engagement starts
This work builds on Backend data layer, so scope, boundaries and constraints are agreed before anything is built.
