Fractional Backend Lead: Ship Payment Rails and Microservices That Scale

I lead Node.js payment infrastructure and AWS microservices builds. Scale APIs, payment rails, and event-driven backends without a full-time hire.

01

The Problem

Your product outgrew the MVP backend. Payment flows are brittle, services are tangled, and every release feels like a gamble. You need senior backend leadership, not another feature factory.

02

What's at Stake

Downtime costs revenue and trust. A single hotfix can break three downstream services. Hiring a full-time architect takes months; your roadmap cannot wait.

03

The Solution

I architect Node.js payment infrastructure at scale: microservices on AWS, event-driven pipelines, and reliability patterns for high-traffic workloads. You get my architecture decisions, implementation leadership, and production-ready services without full-time overhead.

What You Get

  • 01Architecture review and target-state roadmap for your backend
  • 02Node.js/TypeScript microservice design with clear service boundaries
  • 03Payment rail integration, idempotency, and reconciliation patterns
  • 04AWS infrastructure layout: ECS/EKS, queues, caching, observability
  • 05CI/CD and release gates aligned to your team's delivery cadence
