Backend Development ServicesDevelopment Services
We build server-side systems that scale. 8-12 week MVPs with full ownership.
IRPR builds backend systems that handle data, authentication, and integrations. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS Lambda for serverless architectures.
Every project ships with a fixed price and a clear timeline. MVPs take 8-12 weeks and cost $80K-$250K. We handle compliance like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2.
Startups hire us to build their first production backend. SaaS companies hire us to refactor monolithic APIs into microservices. Enterprise teams hire us to build custom APIs for their legacy systems.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless REST APIs with Express.js or FastAPI. Includes Swagger docs and JWT authentication.
GraphQL API development
Build flexible GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Hasura. Supports real-time subscriptions and batch queries.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monolithic apps into microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and message queues like RabbitMQ.
Serverless backend
Build serverless backends with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Scales automatically with no server management.
Database design and optimization
Design normalized schemas, write optimized queries, and set up indexing for PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB.
Authentication and authorization
Implement OAuth 2.0, SAML, or OpenID Connect. Use Auth0, Okta, or custom JWT solutions.
Third-party API integration
Connect your backend to Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio, or any REST/SOAP API. Includes error handling and retry logic.
Real-time backend (WebSockets)
Build real-time features with Socket.IO, WebSockets, or AWS AppSync. Supports chat, live notifications, and collaborative editing.
We build for every business type.
SaaS companies
ecommerce brands
healthcare organizations
fintech startups
media and content platforms
Backend Development Services by the Numbers
We measure everything. Here is what our clients get.
IRPR has shipped 200+ backend systems across 50 countries. Our average MVP timeline is 12 weeks. We maintain 99.9% uptime on production backends.
Every project includes automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring. Our clients report 40% faster time-to-market compared to hiring in-house teams.
How We Build Backend Systems Differently
Most agencies bill hourly and deliver late. We do the opposite.
Generic dev shops start coding without a clear plan. They use hourly billing, change requirements mid-project, and deliver incomplete backends that need constant rewrites.
IRPR starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase. We define every API endpoint, database table, and integration before writing code. You get a fixed price and a fixed timeline.
- Hourly billing with no cost cap
- No written specification before coding
- Scope creep without change orders
- No automated tests or CI/CD
- Code ownership unclear
- No post-launch monitoring
- Fixed price agreed in week 2
- Full API spec and DB schema before coding
- Scope changes documented and quoted
- Automated tests and CI/CD pipeline
- Full code ownership transferred
- Sentry and Datadog monitoring included
Our Backend Development Process
We follow a 4-phase process that de-risks every project.
Phase 1 is the Roadmap. In 2 weeks, we deliver a detailed specification with API endpoints, data models, and infrastructure diagrams. You approve it before we build.
Phases 2-4 are build, test, and release. We ship working code every 2 weeks. You see progress in real time. No surprises at launch.
What Ships with Every Backend
You get more than code. Every project includes these deliverables.
Source code is in your private repo from day one. You own everything. No license fees, no lock-in.
We also ship documentation, deployment scripts, and monitoring dashboards. Your team can take over on day one.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- API documentation with Swagger or Postman
- Database schema and migration scripts
- Automated test suite (unit, integration, e2e)
- Deployment scripts for AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Sentry error tracking
- Datadog or CloudWatch monitoring dashboards
- Post-launch support for 30 days
- Knowledge transfer session with your team
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend for a B2B startup
Built a multi-tenant API with PostgreSQL row-level security and Stripe subscription billing. Reduced tenant onboarding from 2 weeks to 2 hours. Stack: Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Docker.
HIPAA-compliant patient portal backend
Built a HIPAA-compliant backend for a telehealth startup. Handles patient data, appointment scheduling, and video call integration. Passed third-party HIPAA audit in week 10. Stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Twilio, AWS.
PCI-DSS compliant payment processing backend
Built a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment backend for a fintech company. Processes 10,000+ transactions per day. Tokenizes card data with Stripe and stores only masked data. Stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Redis, AWS.
Real-time inventory management backend for ecommerce
Built a real-time inventory backend with WebSockets for a mid-market retailer. Syncs inventory across 5 warehouses and 3 online stores. Reduced overselling by 95%. Stack: Node.js, Socket.IO, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS Lambda.
Content delivery API for a media platform
Built a GraphQL API serving 1 million+ daily users for a media startup. Supports video transcoding, search indexing, and personalized recommendations. Stack: Node.js, Apollo Server, Elasticsearch, AWS S3, CloudFront.
Logistics tracking backend for a shipping company
Built a backend that tracks shipments in real time across 50+ carriers. Integrates with carrier APIs via webhooks and REST. Reduced tracking errors by 80%. Stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, AWS.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges.
Senior engineers only
We hire senior engineers with 7+ years of experience. No juniors, no offshore interns. Every engineer has shipped production backends before.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code from day one. No licenses, no royalties, no lock-in. Your code is in your repo from the first commit.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant backends. Compliance is not an afterthought. It is designed into the architecture from week 1.
2-week Roadmap de-risks everything
Before we write a line of production code, we deliver a full spec. You see every API endpoint, database table, and integration. You approve it before we build.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. We monitor production, fix bugs, and handle edge cases. Your team takes over when they are ready.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
