Backend Development PartnerDevelopment Partner
We build backend systems that scale without breaking. 200+ products shipped in 50+ countries.
IRPR is a backend development partner for companies that need production-ready APIs, microservices, and cloud infrastructure. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS to build systems that handle millions of requests per day.
Every engagement starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define the architecture, data model, and deployment plan. From there we build your backend in 8-12 weeks at a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA.
We work with CTOs who need to scale their engineering capacity, founders who need a backend built from scratch for a new product, and VPs of Engineering who want to offload complex infrastructure work. Our senior engineers have shipped backend systems for fintech, healthcare, logistics, and SaaS companies.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build versioned REST APIs with Express.js or FastAPI. Includes OpenAPI specs, rate limiting, and authentication via JWT or OAuth2.
GraphQL API development
Implement GraphQL APIs using Apollo Server or Hasura. Supports real-time subscriptions, schema stitching, and caching with Redis.
Microservices architecture
Design event-driven microservices with Docker and Kubernetes. Each service is independently deployable and communicates via gRPC or NATS.
Real-time backend systems
Build WebSocket servers and event streams using Socket.io or AWS IoT Core. Used for live dashboards, chat, and collaborative tools.
Serverless backend
Deploy serverless functions on AWS Lambda or Cloudflare Workers. Auto-scales to zero when idle, handles spikes without provisioning.
Database design and optimization
Design normalized schemas with PostgreSQL, optimize queries with indexing, and set up read replicas for high-traffic workloads.
Authentication and authorization systems
Implement SSO, MFA, and role-based access control using Auth0 or custom JWT. Supports SAML, OIDC, and social logins.
Backend for mobile apps
Build push notification services, media upload pipelines, and offline sync backends for iOS and Android apps using Firebase or custom Node.js.
We build for every business type.
SaaS companies
Fintech startups
Healthcare organizations
Ecommerce brands
Logistics and supply chain
Why you need a dedicated backend development partner
Your backend is the foundation of every customer interaction. A slow or unreliable backend costs you revenue and users.
Most startups try to build their backend with a single full-stack developer or a junior team. That approach works until you hit 1,000 concurrent users and your database locks up. We have seen this pattern across 200+ projects. The fix always costs more than doing it right the first time.
IRPR assigns 3-5 senior backend engineers to each project. Every engineer has 8+ years of experience with Node.js, Python, or Go. We design your data model for scale from day one. Our average project ships in 12 weeks at a fixed price. No surprises.
Generic dev shops vs IRPR as your backend development partner
Not all backend development partners are the same. Here is what sets IRPR apart.
Generic development shops often assign junior developers who learn on your dime. They bill by the hour and change scope without notice. Their code lacks tests, has no CI/CD pipeline, and breaks in production.
IRPR is different. We assign only senior engineers with 8+ years of experience. Every project has a fixed price from week 2. We write unit tests, integration tests, and set up GitHub Actions for continuous deployment. Your code is in your repo from day one.
- Junior developers with 1-2 years experience
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No architecture review before coding
- Code has less than 20% test coverage
- Manual deployment to a single server
- No monitoring or error tracking
- Senior engineers with 8+ years experience
- Fixed price quoted in week 2
- 2-week Roadmap phase for architecture design
- 90%+ test coverage with automated CI/CD
- Kubernetes or serverless deployment on AWS
- Sentry and Datadog monitoring from day one
Our process for backend development
We follow a repeatable process that delivers production-ready backend systems in 8-12 weeks.
Every project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase. Our engineers work with your team to define the data model, API contracts, and deployment architecture. You get a detailed specification document and a fixed price quote.
The Product phase runs 6-10 weeks. Our backend engineers build the system in 2-week sprints. You see working code every sprint. We deploy to staging after each sprint and to production after the final sprint.
What ships with every backend project
Every backend project from IRPR includes these deliverables by default.
We do not hand over a zip file and disappear. Every project includes a fully documented, tested, and deployed backend system with monitoring and CI/CD pipelines.
Your team gets full ownership of the code, infrastructure, and documentation. We provide 30 days of post-launch support to handle any issues.
- Full source code in your GitHub repository
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated test suite with 90%+ coverage
- API documentation with Swagger or Postman
- Database schema and migration scripts
- Docker containers for local development
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform or CloudFormation
- Monitoring with Datadog and error tracking with Sentry
- Deployment guide and runbook
- 30 days of post-launch support
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend
Built a multi-tenant backend for a B2B SaaS platform serving 500+ customers. Used PostgreSQL row-level security for tenant isolation, Redis for rate limiting, and Stripe for subscription billing. Reduced customer onboarding time from 2 weeks to 2 hours.
Payment processing API
Developed a PCI-DSS compliant payment processing API for a fintech startup. Integrated with Stripe and Plaid for ACH transfers. Handles 10,000+ transactions per day with 99.9% uptime. Passed PCI audit on first attempt.
HIPAA-compliant patient data API
Built a HIPAA-compliant backend for a telemedicine platform. Used AWS HealthLake for FHIR-compliant data storage, Auth0 for SSO, and WebSocket for real-time video signaling. Reduced patient data retrieval time by 60%.
Real-time inventory tracking system
Created a real-time inventory tracking backend for an ecommerce company with 3 warehouses. Used Kafka for event streaming, PostgreSQL for inventory snapshots, and a REST API for frontend updates. Reduced stockouts by 40%.
Logistics route optimization engine
Built a route optimization backend for a logistics company with 200+ drivers. Used Python with OR-Tools for route calculations, PostgreSQL for driver and order data, and WebSocket for real-time dispatch. Reduced fuel costs by 15%.
EdTech assessment platform backend
Developed a FERPA-compliant backend for an online assessment platform serving 50,000 students. Used PostgreSQL for student data, Redis for session caching, and AWS Lambda for auto-scaling during peak test times. Handled 10,000 concurrent users without slowdown.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price from week 2
Every project gets a fixed price quote after the 2-week Roadmap phase. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You know the total cost before we write the first line of production code.
Senior engineers only
Every engineer on your project has 8+ years of backend experience. We do not staff juniors or offshore teams. Your code is written by people who have shipped production systems at scale.
Production-ready from day one
We ship with CI/CD, automated tests, monitoring, and infrastructure as code. Your backend is ready for production the day we hand it over. No rework needed.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code we write. It lives in your GitHub repository from day one. There is no proprietary framework, no license fees, no lock-in.
Compliance built in
We have built backend systems that pass HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA audits. Our engineers know the compliance requirements and build them into the architecture from the start.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. We monitor the system, fix bugs, and help your team take over. After 30 days, we offer ongoing maintenance at a fixed monthly rate.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
