Application Programming Interfaces

Engineered for Scale, Speed, and Security

What We Offer

APIs aren’t features. They’re foundations. At Kraken Dev Co, we build application programming interfaces like mission-critical infrastructure, because they are. Whether you’re architecting a microservices ecosystem or scaling digital services for millions of external users, our API engineering drives your stack forward. No fragility. No bloated codebases. Just hardened interfaces built for performance, resilience, and scale. An application programming interface is a contract that defines how different pieces of software communicate in a structured, repeatable, and secure way.

Our API Development Philosophy

At the centre of software development today is the API. APIs connect services, systems, and user interfaces across cloud applications and enterprise service buses. We build APIs that decouple application components for modularity, expose core business logic without exposing your codebase, support multi-client access across platforms and programming languages, and securely interface with third-party developers and business partners. This isn’t API decoration. It’s software strategy.

Why Choose Kraken Dev Co?

Right API for the Right Purpose

API strategy begins with choosing the correct type. We specialise in public APIs for external developers, partner APIs for business partners under governance policies, internal APIs as backend system glue, and composite APIs for microservices orchestration. We deploy the REST architectural style when it aligns with business logic and performance goals, otherwise we pivot to GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, or WebSockets.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Every API is a potential breach vector. We enforce strict security protocols, including OAuth2 flows and scoped access, TLS encryption as a baseline, rate limiting via API gateways, and real-time monitoring of API response behaviour and anomaly detection. We treat internal APIs like public APIs, because if it moves data, it must be locked down.

Production-Ready Documentation

APIs aren't usable until they're documented. We deliver Swagger/OpenAPI definitions, Redoc-based interactive explorers, code samples with error schemas and retry logic, and authentication walkthroughs with response formats. If external developers can't connect in under 5 minutes, your API isn't finished. We don't release incomplete systems.

Strategic Business Impact

Modern APIs are not technical middleware. They're core to revenue and scale. Our APIs enable you to reuse logic across software products, empower third-party developers and external developers, launch new features without rewriting user interfaces, and improve customer experience through seamless integrations. Every Kraken API becomes an application component built for operational impact.

Who This Service Is For

Our API development services are designed for businesses that understand APIs as strategic infrastructure, not just technical features. We work with enterprises architecting microservices ecosystems, SaaS platforms scaling digital services for external users, fintech companies needing secure trading logic and regulated feeds, travel companies requiring B2B integrations, and any organisation where APIs connect critical business systems across multiple platforms and programming languages.

Our API Development Process

We build APIs through a precise engineering flow that ensures every interface is production-ready from day one.

Scope and Architecture

We align endpoints, authentication models, and response formats with client applications while choosing the optimal architectural style. Whether it's REST API, GraphQL for frontend flexibility, SOAP for enterprise applications, or gRPC for internal low-latency communications, we make deliberate deployment choices backed by your business goals.

Prototype and Development

We mock APIs using Postman and API testing tools, then write client-server architecture logic in chosen programming languages. Our APIs are structured around clean URI naming, aligned HTTP methods, structured metadata and body content formats, and robust authentication using OAuth2, JWTs, and API keys based on access control models.

Security and Testing

We conduct load, penetration, and unit testing via automated test suites while implementing comprehensive security protocols. Every API includes TLS encryption, rate limiting, real-time monitoring, and access controls designed to prevent misuse and protect against potential breach vectors.

Documentation and Deployment

We create documentation as detailed as a software development kit, then deploy through CI/CD pipeline automation and API management configuration. Our APIs include versioning with semantic version control, lifecycle management with clear deprecation logs, and governance aligned to policies governing external and internal usage.
