Work through guided questions about your project's purpose, users, data, integrations, and technical requirements. Every question includes examples.
List every external service your backend needs — payments, email, CRM, authentication, file storage. This is often the biggest driver of backend complexity and cost.
Get a professionally formatted backend requirements document covering all technical areas in structured sections developers and architects can work from.
Send the PDF to multiple developers or agencies. Everyone quotes against the same spec — making comparisons fair and scope disputes less likely.
Define your backend architecture requirements before hiring a developer or CTO. A clear spec prevents wildly inaccurate quotes and ensures you hire someone with the right skills.
Adding an API, mobile app backend, or data integration to your existing business? Document exactly what you need so developers quote accurately and build what you actually want.
Create a requirements baseline for RFPs, contractor hiring, or internal sprint planning. The document maps directly to technical user stories and acceptance criteria.
The form covers: project type (API, SaaS, marketplace, internal tool), user authentication requirements, database needs, third-party integrations, API design preferences, hosting, performance expectations, security requirements, and compliance needs including GDPR.
Yes. Every question uses plain English with examples. Instead of asking about REST vs GraphQL, it asks whether your website needs to communicate with other apps or services. The tool handles the technical terminology in the output.
Absolutely. When every developer quotes against the same requirements document, the quotes are genuinely comparable. Without a spec, each developer quotes on different assumptions — making comparisons impossible and unexpected costs inevitable.
Yes. Use the Frontend Requirements tool for everything the user sees and interacts with, and this Backend Requirements tool for data, logic, and server-side functionality. Share both documents together for full-stack projects.
List every external service you plan to use: payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), email services (Mailchimp, SendGrid), file storage (AWS S3), social login providers, SMS gateways, and APIs from your existing business tools.
Yes. The form includes sections for GDPR compliance, data residency requirements, PCI DSS for payment handling, and general security expectations. These are often overlooked and can significantly affect backend architecture and cost.
