Front Ends for Java Teams

Front ends built by people who also own the backend.

Front-end work for a Java shop usually gets outsourced to a separate team that doesn't know the API's actual constraints.

We build React and Next.js interfaces directly against your Spring Boot APIs — including chat, search and admin surfaces for the systems we build — because the same team designed both sides of the contract.

01  In practice

What this looks like in practice

01

React/Next.js front ends built against your actual API contracts, not a mocked API.

02

Chat and search UIs for RAG/Spring AI backends, when that's what you're building.

03

Admin and internal tooling surfaces that match how your ops team actually works.

04

Shared type/contract definitions between front end and backend so they don't drift.

02  Deliverables

What you get

  • Working front-end application
  • Component library aligned to your design system — or a starting one if you don't have one yet
  • API integration layer

Front ends for Java teams — frequently asked questions

Why hire the backend team to build the front end?
Because front-end work for a Java shop usually gets outsourced to a separate team that does not know the API's actual constraints, and the cost of that shows up as churn — endpoints reshaped late, contracts renegotiated over tickets, performance problems nobody owns. When the same team designed both sides of the contract, those conversations happen before the code is written.
Do you work with our existing design system?
Yes. The component library we deliver is aligned to your design system where you have one. If you do not have one yet, we hand over a starting one rather than leaving you with a codebase of one-off components — which is the state most internal tooling ends up in by default.
What kind of front ends do you build?
The surfaces our backend work needs in order to be useful to a human: chat and search UIs over RAG and Spring AI backends, admin and internal tooling for ops teams, and customer-facing interfaces on top of Spring Boot APIs. We are not a general-purpose design agency — this is front-end work in service of a system we can also reason about at the backend.
How do you keep the front end and API from drifting apart?
Shared type and contract definitions between the two, so a backend change that breaks the front end breaks a build rather than a page. Building against your actual API contracts instead of a mocked API is the other half of it: mocks let a front end stay green while diverging quietly from what the service really returns.
