Why Choose IRPR for Affordable Node.js API Development?
We deliver production-ready Node.js APIs faster and at a fixed price, with full code ownership and no vendor lock-in.
IRPR has shipped over 200 products across 50 countries. Our Node.js APIs handle millions of requests per day for clients in healthcare, fintech, ecommerce, and SaaS. We use proven stacks: Express, Fastify, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Apollo Server.
Every API project includes automated CI/CD, load testing, and monitoring with Sentry and DataDog. You get the code in your own GitHub repo from day one. We do not bill hourly - you get a fixed price after the Roadmap phase.
How IRPR Differs from Other Node.js Development Agencies
Most agencies charge hourly and deliver late. IRPR fixes the scope, the timeline, and the price upfront.
Generic dev shops often start with ambiguous specs and endless change orders. They use junior developers who learn on your dime. Their APIs lack documentation and monitoring.
IRPR assigns senior Node.js engineers with 7+ years experience. We write automated tests, generate OpenAPI docs, and set up monitoring before the API goes live. No surprises, no overtime.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior developers assigned to your project
- No automated tests
- API documentation is an afterthought
- No CI/CD pipeline
- Code ownership unclear
- Fixed price after 2-week Roadmap
- Senior Node.js engineers only
- 95% test coverage minimum
- Auto-generated OpenAPI docs with every build
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions from day one
- Full source code ownership, your repo
Our 4-Phase Process for Building Your Node.js API
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks. Each phase delivers a concrete artifact, not just promises.
We start every project with a 2-week Roadmap phase. You get a detailed project plan with wireframes, data models, and a fixed price. There is no obligation to continue - but 95% of clients do.
The Product phase builds the API incrementally. Every sprint ends with deployable code. The Release phase includes load testing, security audit, and production deployment. After launch, we hand over documentation and support runbooks.
What You Get When You Build a Node.js API with IRPR
Every project ships with these deliverables. No hidden scope, no extra charges.
We deliver more than just code. Your team gets a complete production system that you can run independently. All infrastructure as code, all procedures documented, all tools configured.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Automated test suite (unit + integration + e2e)
- API documentation (OpenAPI 3.0) auto-generated
- Postman collection for manual testing
- Docker compose setup for local development
- Deployment scripts (AWS CDK or Terraform)
- Sentry error tracking configured
- DataDog dashboard for API monitoring
- Load test report (k6 or Artillery)
What we ship in this practice.
Order Processing API for Ecommerce
Built a Node.js REST API for a 50-product online store. Used Next.js frontend, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and Redis for cart caching. Reduced checkout failures by 40% and order processing time from 30 seconds to under 2 seconds.
Patient Records API for a Telehealth Startup
Developed a HIPAA-compliant GraphQL API for a 10-clinic telehealth network. Used Apollo Server, PostgreSQL with encrypted columns, and Auth0 for patient identity. Achieved 99.95% uptime in the first year and passed a SOC 2 audit.
Subscription Billing API for a SaaS Platform
Created a Node.js microservices API for recurring billing, usage tracking, and invoicing. Stack: Express, MongoDB, Stripe, and RabbitMQ. Handles 10,000+ active subscriptions and reduced manual billing work by 20 hours per week.
Real-time Logistics Tracking API
Built a WebSocket-based real-time API for a freight company tracking 500+ shipments daily. Used Node.js, Socket.io, Redis Pub/Sub, and Google Maps integration. Cut average update latency from 15 seconds to under 500ms.
Public API for a Fintech Data Platform
Designed and implemented a public REST API with API key authentication, rate limiting, and comprehensive documentation. Tech: Fastify, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Plaid for bank data. The API now serves 200+ third-party developers and processes 1M requests per day.
Internal API for a Media CMS
Engineered a high-throughput Node.js API for a media company's content management system. Used Apollo Server with Redis caching, S3 for media storage, and Elasticsearch for search. The API reduced page load times by 60% and enabled real-time content updates for 50 editors.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price per project, not per hour
After the 2-week Roadmap, you get a fixed price for the entire API build. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. Over 200 projects have shipped within budget.
Senior Node.js engineers with 7+ years experience
Every engineer on your project has at least 7 years of Node.js experience. They have built APIs for Fortune 500 companies and funded startups. You never get a junior developer.
HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2 compliance built in
We have built over 12 HIPAA-compliant APIs and 8 PCI-DSS Level 1 APIs. Our process includes encrypted data at rest, audit logs, and regular penetration testing. Compliance is not an add-on, it is part of the build.
98% on-time delivery across all projects
We track every sprint with Jira and have a 98% on-time record. If we forecast a delay, you know 2 weeks in advance. We have shipped over 200 projects on schedule.
Full code ownership with no lock-in
Every line of code we write goes into your GitHub repo. You own everything. We do not use proprietary frameworks or templates. You can take the API to any developer after launch.
Launch in 8-12 weeks, not 6 months
Our process is designed for speed. The Roadmap phase takes 2 weeks, and the build takes 6-10 weeks depending on complexity. Most agencies quote 6 months for the same scope.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
