Why You Need a Backend Web Development Firm
A custom backend handles your exact business logic, scales with your users, and meets compliance requirements out of the box.
Off-the-shelf backends like Firebase or Supabase work for prototypes but break at scale. A custom backend built with Node.js or Python gives you control over every query, every API call, and every cost. IRPR has shipped 200+ production backends since 2015.
Your backend is the foundation of your product. If it fails, everything fails. We design for 99.9% uptime from day one, with automated failover, load balancing, and monitoring. Our backends handle 100K+ concurrent users without a hitch.
Generic Dev Shop vs IRPR
Most dev shops charge hourly and deliver late. IRPR works different.
We see the same problems over and over: scope creep, unclear milestones, and code that doesn't scale. Generic shops use junior developers and bill for every extra hour. You end up paying 2x for half the quality.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only. Every project has a fixed price from the Roadmap phase (week 2). We ship production-ready code with tests, CI/CD, and monitoring built in. No surprises, no excuses.
- Junior developers learning on your project
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No compliance expertise (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2)
- Code with no tests or CI/CD
- Scope creep every sprint
- No post-launch support
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 built in
- Full test coverage, CI/CD, Sentry monitoring
- Scope locked in week 2
- 12 weeks of post-launch support included
How We Build Your Backend
Our process turns your idea into a production backend in 8-12 weeks.
Every project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase. You pay a fixed fee ($8K-$15K) and get a detailed technical specification: database schema, API endpoints, infrastructure diagram, and a fixed quote for the build. If you don't like the quote, you walk away with the roadmap.
The build phase is 6-10 weeks. We ship code every 2 weeks in working increments. You see a real API, real database, and real cloud infrastructure before the project is done. No waterfall, no big bang releases.
What Ships With Every Backend
Every project includes these deliverables by default.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking and alerts
- Datadog or Grafana monitoring dashboard
- PostgreSQL or MongoDB database schema
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Load test results (1000+ concurrent users)
- Security audit report
- Deployment runbook for your DevOps team
- 12 weeks of post-launch support
