Why Hire an Affordable Node.js API Development Firm
IRPR has shipped over 200 APIs for clients in 50+ countries.
Every API is built with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL by senior engineers with 10+ years of experience. We follow a fixed-price model so you know the cost before a single line of code is written.
Our average timeline is 12 weeks from kickoff to production. We handle deployment, monitoring, and documentation as part of every engagement.
Generic Dev Shop vs IRPR
Most development shops charge hourly and deliver late. IRPR does not.
A generic dev shop starts with a vague estimate and bills for every hour. You never know the final cost until the project is done. They often use junior developers and deliver code that needs rewriting.
IRPR gives you a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase. You work with senior engineers only. Every API ships with automated tests, CI/CD, and monitoring from day one.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior developers working on your API
- No automated tests or CI/CD
- Delays and scope creep
- No documentation
- You own nothing until final payment
- Fixed price from $80K
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Automated tests, CI/CD, and monitoring
- 8-12 week delivery on time
- Full API documentation (OpenAPI)
- Source code ownership from day one
Our API Development Process
We follow a 4-phase process to ship your Node.js API on time and on budget.
Phase 1 (Idea) is a 1-week discovery call where we define the API scope, endpoints, and data model. Phase 2 (Roadmap) produces a fixed-price proposal and a detailed technical plan.
Phase 3 (Product) is the build phase where senior engineers code, test, and deploy your API. Phase 4 (Release) includes production deployment, monitoring setup, and handoff.
What Ships With Every API
Every Node.js API includes these deliverables by default.
You get a production-ready API with full source code, automated tests, and a CI/CD pipeline. We also include API documentation, error tracking, and deployment scripts.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- Automated unit and integration tests (Jest)
- OpenAPI 3.0 documentation
- Sentry error tracking
- Docker Compose for local development
- PostgreSQL schema and migrations
- Rate limiting and authentication (JWT or OAuth)
- Deployment scripts for AWS or GCP
- Postman collection for testing
What we ship in this practice.
