STACK / PYTHON SERVICES

Python Services.
APIs, data processing, automation scripts, integrations.

We use Python where it shines: services that move data, expose APIs, and automate the workflows that keep your product and teams running.

ColibriCode is based in Denver, USA. We plug Python into existing Drupal, Symfony/Laravel, JavaScript, and Go stacks—without turning your platform into a science experiment.

Focus

Python APIs & services

FastAPI, Django REST, background workers, CLIs.

Experience

Data & automation

ETL jobs, reporting, bots, and glue code.

Ecosystem

Pandas, Celery, SQL, cloud SDKs

Pragmatic picks, not ten libraries per problem.

Location

Denver, USA

US-based, remote-first engineering workshop.

WHY PYTHON HERE

Python as the engine behind data, automation, and integrations.

We don’t force Python into the UI layer. Instead we use it to power the things users feel indirectly: faster reporting, smoother integrations, and fewer manual tasks.

FOR DATA

Make data actually usable.

We help you move from “we have data somewhere” to repeatable flows that serve products and teams.

  • ETL jobs that centralize truth instead of duplicating it.
  • Reporting pipelines that stakeholders can rely on.
  • APIs that expose clean aggregates, not raw chaos.

FOR ENGINEERING

Reduce one-off scripts and snowflakes.

We turn that folder of “just-run-this.py” into something your team can reason about.

  • Shared libraries for repeated patterns and APIs.
  • Tests, logging, and configuration baked in.
  • Clear ownership, not mystery cron jobs.

FOR THE BUSINESS

Automate the boring, keep humans on the hard parts.

We focus Python on the glue and grunt work: reconciliations, imports, syncs, and checks that people shouldn’t do manually.

  • Fewer spreadsheets and manual exports/imports.
  • Consistent workflows with clear audit trails.
  • Time back for product, strategy, and customer work.

HOW WE BUILD

APIs, data processing, automation scripts, integrations.

APIs that play well with web and mobile

We build Python APIs that feel predictable to your React, mobile, or partner clients.

  • FastAPI or Django REST for clear, documented endpoints.
  • Response shapes designed for real frontend and mobile needs.
  • Authentication, rate-limiting, and pagination that stay consistent as you grow.

Data processing and ETL that you can trust

We turn scattered data—CSV dumps, third-party APIs, internal DBs—into reliable pipelines.

  • Batch and streaming jobs built with Python, SQL, and cloud data services.
  • Idempotent ETL runs that can be re-played without corrupting results.
  • Monitoring around freshness, failures, and anomalies—not just cron logs.

Automation scripts that graduate from ‘one-off’

We refine your ad-hoc scripts into something your team can actually depend on.

  • Refactor existing scripts into small, testable components.
  • Add configuration, logging, and error handling that make ops sane.
  • Schedule jobs using Celery, cloud schedulers, or your existing tooling.

Integrations that don’t become a black box

Python is often the glue between SaaS tools. We keep that glue observable and documented.

  • Connectors to CRMs, marketing platforms, payment providers, and internal APIs.
  • Retry and backoff strategies for flaky external services.
  • Dashboards or alerts when external providers change behavior or fail.

COMMON PATTERNS

Where Python carries the most weight in your platform.

We focus on the pieces that benefit most from Python’s ecosystem: data, glue code, and integration surfaces—while keeping your primary product stack cohesive.

Data

Analytics & reporting services

Python jobs that aggregate data from your PHP/Go backends and third-party tools into dashboards or exports.

Integrations

Integration hubs

Python services that sit between your core product and CRMs, billing, support, or marketing stacks.

Automation

Automation for ops and finance

Scripts and services that reconcile payments, sync inventory, or generate internal reports on a schedule.

ML-Ready

ML-adjacent plumbing

Pipelines and APIs that prepare data for models, call external ML services, and surface results into your product.

PLAYING NICE WITH OTHERS

Python services that respect your Drupal, PHP, JS, and Go code.

We treat Python as a good citizen in your architecture: clear boundaries, stable interfaces, and observability so the rest of your stack can depend on it.

CONTRACTS & BOUNDARIES

  • gRPC/HTTP APIs with clear ownership: Python focuses on data and automation, while Drupal, Symfony/Laravel, or Go handle core product logic.
  • Event-driven patterns where Python consumes or emits messages instead of direct coupling between services.
  • Versioned contracts so other teams can upgrade at their own pace.

RUNTIME & OBSERVABILITY

  • Containerized workers and APIs that fit into your existing CI/CD and infrastructure practices.
  • Metrics and traces that make it obvious when a data job or integration is slow, failing, or falling behind.
  • Alerting that distinguishes between “can wait until morning” and “wake someone up now”.

FAQ

Questions teams usually ask about Python work.

Which Python frameworks and tools do you typically use?

For APIs we usually lean on FastAPI or Django REST Framework. For background work we use Celery, RQ, or cloud-native queuing. For data we combine Python with SQL, Pandas, and warehouse tools depending on your stack.

How does Python fit into our existing Drupal, Symfony/Laravel, or Go stack?

We often introduce Python as a sidecar for data and automation: ETL jobs, reporting APIs, or integration services that talk to your PHP/Go backends over stable contracts. The goal is to complement your main stack, not replace it.

Can you help us clean up existing scripts and cron jobs?

Yes. We start by inventorying your current scripts and their schedules, then group them into services or flows. From there we add configuration, logging, retries, and tests so they behave more like a product than a collection of one-offs.

Do you also handle deployment and observability for these services?

We can. That typically includes containerization, CI/CD, environment config, and metrics/logging hooks into your preferred observability tools so data jobs and integrations are visible to your team.

TALK ABOUT PYTHON SERVICES

Have data, automation, or integration work that needs Python?

Tell us which systems you need to connect, what data you care about, and which manual tasks you’d like to retire. We’ll outline how Python services can plug into your existing stack without creating a new monolith.

A short description of your current stack (Drupal, Symfony/Laravel, JS, Go, etc.) plus the Python work you’re considering is enough to start a focused conversation.
