One part of your system can’t keep up with the traffic.
Move that part to Go.
We pull the busy path into a small Go service and leave the rest of the app alone.
Go development: Go for the services that have to be fast and stay up.
We use Go on client projects where a service handles a lot of connections at once, or where a single small binary is easier to deploy than a Node.js app. It usually sits next to a Node.js or .NET backend, doing one job well.
How we use Go
We use Go for specific services inside a larger system, not as our default backend.
- Daily
- Regularly
- When it fits
Where it works well
- APIs and gateways that hold thousands of connections at once
- Background workers that process queues and files
- Command-line tools your team runs locally or in CI
- Small services that need low memory and fast start-up
Where it breaks down
- A whole business app with lots of forms and admin screens, where Node.js or .NET is quicker to build
- Your team has no Go experience and will maintain the code alone
You’re probably here because…
What people usually need when they search for Go help.
You have a Go service and nobody left who knows it.
We’ll read it first.
We review the code, fix what is urgent and tell you honestly what it needs.
You were told to rewrite everything in Go.
Usually you don’t need to.
Most products only need Go for one or two services. We’ll say which, if any.
What we build with Go
Go where it earns its place.
High-traffic APIs
Services that handle many requests at once on little memory.
Background workers
Queue consumers, file processing and scheduled jobs.
CLI tools
One binary per platform for your team or your customers.
Integration services
Small services that move data between systems reliably.
The production work we can point to
We have used Go on client projects, but none of them is a published case study yet. These are systems we can show, so you can see how we work.

How a build runs
The same steps on every project. You approve designs before we write code.
- Day 1
A 30-minute call
Bring the problem and how you handle it today. We ask questions and tell you honestly what we would build first. We won’t pitch at you.
- Next
Written proposal and fixed quote
What is in scope, what goes on the backlog, the stack we’d use and why, the timeline and one price.
- Week 1
Onboarding
A kick-off meeting, a shared Slack channel and access to the repository. Rehan is your day-to-day contact.
- Design
Designs you approve
We design the main screens and journeys first. Nothing gets coded until you have signed the designs off.
- Build
Architecture first, then code
We agree the architecture before writing code, then build with updates twice a week on Slack. Any new request is logged as extra hours and reported weekly.
- Launch
Live, handed over, supported
Deployed to production with your Git repositories and documentation handed over. Bug fixes are free for the first two months.
What it costs
It depends on scope, so we do not publish a price list. A build is a fixed quote and a developer is a monthly rate, both agreed in writing after a 30-minute call.
A focused first buildFixed quoteA tightly scoped build with one core workflow, quoted after a 30-minute call.
A full projectFixed quoteSeveral user roles, integrations and reporting, scoped in writing before work starts.
Dedicated engineerMonthly rateA full-time engineer working on your product, priced per engineer once we know the stack and seniority.
Included as standard
- UI/UX design, approved before any code
- Two-factor login and OWASP Top 10 security practices
- Deployment to production
- Git repositories and written documentation
- Two months of free bug fixes after launch
Not included
- Payment gateways and other premium integrations, quoted separately
- Graphic design, video and animation
- Features added mid-build, logged as extra hours
After the free two months, monthly maintenance is available. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can add a dedicated engineer. Book a call and we will price both.
Are we the right team for this?
We’re a good fit if
- One part of your system needs more speed or concurrency
- You have an existing Go service that needs a team
- You want an honest view on whether Go is worth it
- You want to own the code
We’re probably not if
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope
- You mainly need graphic design, video or animation
- You want the lowest price above all else, rather than software that lasts

Platform-level reviews of the agency — not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers about Go, cost and how we work.
Ask us something elseShould we build our whole backend in Go?
Usually not. Go is excellent for services that do one job under heavy load. For a full business app, Node.js or .NET gets you there faster. We often use both: Go for the busy service, Node.js for the rest.
Can you add Go developers to our team?
Yes. Developers join your Slack, stand-ups and repository on a monthly rate we quote on a call. Tell us what the Go work involves and we will tell you honestly whether we are a fit.
What happens after launch?
Bug fixes are free for two months. After that, monthly maintenance is available. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can add a dedicated engineer. We price both on a call.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
