Python Development Services for US Startups & SMBs
We build Django and FastAPI applications, data pipelines, and AI backends that ship. AI-assisted engineering gets working software in your hands in weeks, not months.
What We Build in Python
End-to-end Python development (from a first MVP to modernizing a legacy Django product) across the frameworks and data tooling US teams ship on.

- Incremental modernization
Integrations & Salesforce
Connect your Python app to payments, CRMs, and third-party APIs, including Salesforce.
- Stripe, payments & webhooks
- Salesforce & REST integrations

Django or FastAPI? How to Choose
The two frameworks solve different problems, and many products use both. Here's the honest version, so you pick the right tool instead of the trendy one. We help you make the call in discovery, before any budget is committed.
Choose Django when…
- You want a full-featured web app with admin, auth, and ORM out of the box
- You're building a SaaS, portal, marketplace, or content-driven product
- You value a batteries-included framework and a large, stable ecosystem
- Team velocity and convention-over-configuration matter more than raw async throughput
Choose FastAPI when…
- You need a high-performance, type-safe API or microservice
- You’re serving AI/LLM features, RAG endpoints, or heavy async I/O
- OpenAPI-first contracts and Pydantic validation are priorities
- You want a lightweight service rather than a full web framework
How We Start: Fixed Scope, Fast
We don't lead with open-ended retainers or an hourly meter. Every engagement starts with a focused, fixed-scope sprint, so you get a clear deliverable and a real estimate before any long-term commitment.
Discovery Sprint
- Scope, architecture & stack recommendation
- Django vs. FastAPI decision
- Timeline & fixed estimate
MVP / Product Build
- Launchable Python app or API
- Core flow, data model & integrations
- Deployed, instrumented & documented
Modernization & Audit
- Full codebase & security audit
- Performance & dependency fixes
- Stabilized build + modernization roadmap
Every engagement starts with a fixed-scope sprint and a clear deliverable. You get a concrete estimate before any long-term commitment.
Why US Teams Choose MicroPyramid
You're not hiring a 500-person body shop with a rotating bench. You get a focused Python team that ships.
AI-Assisted Engineering
We build with AI across coding, testing, and review, so engineering hours go into your product logic rather than boilerplate.
Senior Engineers, Direct
You work with the people writing the code, not account managers or a rotating bench of juniors handed your project.
You Own Code & IP
Full source code, IP, and infrastructure are yours from day one. We sign NDAs and IP-assignment before work begins.
The Python Stack We Build On
Current, well-supported tools across web frameworks, data, AI services, and the cloud your app runs on.

Straight answers to what US founders and CTOs ask us before starting a Python project.
What drives the cost of Python development?
The main drivers are scope and feature count, the complexity of your data model, the number of third-party integrations, and any compliance or security requirements. A focused MVP or API costs far less than a moderately complex SaaS app, which in turn costs less than a large multi-team or enterprise platform. We give a fixed estimate after a short discovery sprint rather than an open-ended hourly meter.
How long does it take to build a Python application?
It depends on scope: the number of features and integrations, the data model, and whether we start from scratch or from existing code. The discovery sprint gives you a timeline and fixed estimate before any build starts, and we then work in weekly sprints with a demo each sprint.
Can you build AI features into a Python backend?
Yes. Python is the default language for AI, and we build LLM features, RAG pipelines, and AI agents directly into FastAPI or Django backends, adding AI chat, search, and automation to your product rather than bolting on a separate system.
Can you rescue or modernize an existing Django or Python codebase?
Yes. We audit the codebase, security, and dependencies, fix performance issues, upgrade Django and Python versions, and modernize the architecture incrementally, without a risky full rewrite. Many engagements start as a modernization and audit sprint.
Do you work with US companies?
Yes, most of our clients are US-based startups, SMBs, and enterprises. You work directly with the senior engineers building your software.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Full source code, IP, and infrastructure are yours from day one, and we sign NDAs and IP-assignment agreements before work begins.
Have a Django product that needs modernization or rescue?
We offer focused Django Modernization Sprints: codebase audits, architecture cleanup, and performance or security improvements for existing Django products.
