Why MagmaLabs for Python
Python makes it easy to get something working. We make sure it keeps working when real users, real data and real bills arrive.
02
AI that holds up
Retrieval, evaluations, guardrails and cost controls, so LLM features behave the same on day 90 as in the demo.
03
Full stack, one team
The same engineers build the React or Next.js frontend and the infrastructure, so the API never waits on another vendor.
04
Types and tests
Type hints checked by mypy, pytest and Ruff in CI from week one. Refactors stay safe as the codebase grows.
Our Python services
Product backends, AI features and the data and automation work around them.
Backends

FAQ
Something else? Email hello@magmalabs.io.
Django or FastAPI: which should we use?
Django when you want batteries included: admin, auth, ORM and a mature ecosystem for product backends. FastAPI when you need a lean, async, typed API or a service around a model. Many teams run both, and we help you pick based on the product, not preference.
Can you build AI features into our existing product?
Yes. We add LLM features to existing Python, Rails or Node apps with retrieval over your data, evaluation suites, guardrails and cost monitoring, so the feature is measurable before and after it ships.
Can you upgrade an old Python or Django codebase?
Yes. We start with an audit of versions, dependencies and test coverage, add tests around the riskiest paths, then upgrade in steps while your team keeps shipping.
Do you work on data engineering and pipelines?
Yes. Ingestion, ETL, scheduled jobs and warehouse loads with Airflow, Dagster or dbt, built with retries, alerts and data checks so failures are visible instead of silent.
Can your Python developers join our team?
Yes. Through Team Embed, senior Python engineers join your Slack, standups and repo, work U.S. hours and follow your process. Monthly, with 30 days notice, starting in 1 to 3 weeks.
Who builds the frontend?
We do, if you need it. The same team builds React and Next.js frontends and React Native apps on top of your Python API, so nothing waits on another vendor.
How much does Python development cost?
Python engineers through Team Embed start at $8,500 per engineer per month. Scoped projects such as a new API, an AI feature or a data pipeline are quoted as a fixed price after scoping. If your app or AI prototype was built fast or with AI tools, the Production Readiness Audit is a fixed $4,900.
