Best Backend App Development ServicesBackend Development
We build scalable backend systems that handle millions of requests. 8-12 week MVPs with fixed pricing.
IRPR builds production-grade backend systems using Node.js, Python, Go, and Java. We design RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and event-driven architectures that handle 10,000+ requests per second.
Every backend project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA compliance. You get full source code ownership and a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions.
CTOs hire us to replace unstable legacy backends. Startup founders hire us to build their first production API. Product managers hire us to add real-time features like websockets or streaming. Enterprise architects hire us to migrate monoliths to microservices on AWS or GCP.
Types of software we ship.
RESTful API backend
Stateless API endpoints with JWT auth, rate limiting, and OpenAPI docs. Built with Node.js or Python on AWS Lambda or ECS.
GraphQL backend
Single endpoint with resolver-based data fetching. Apollo Server, Prisma ORM, and real-time subscriptions via WebSockets.
Event-driven backend

Why choose the best backend app development services
We deliver backend systems that run in production for years without rewrites.
IRPR has shipped backend systems for 200+ products across 50+ countries. Our backends handle 99.9% uptime on AWS and GCP. We use Node.js, Python, Go, and Java with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka.
Every backend we build includes automated testing with Jest and Pytest, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and monitoring with Datadog and Sentry. You get a system that scales from 100 users to 10 million without architecture changes.
Generic dev shop vs the best backend app development services
Most agencies promise custom backends but deliver copy-paste boilerplate. Here is the difference.
Generic shops reuse the same code for every client. They skip load testing and leave you with slow APIs. They charge hourly and extend timelines when you ask for changes.
IRPR builds each backend from scratch for your specific data model and traffic patterns. We write integration tests for every endpoint. We load test with k6 to handle 10x your expected traffic. Fixed price means no surprises.
- Copy-paste boilerplate code
- No load testing
- Hourly billing with scope creep
- No CI/CD pipeline
- No monitoring or alerting
- You do not own the code
- Custom backend per project
- Load tested with k6 at 10x traffic
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Datadog monitoring + Sentry alerts
- Full source code ownership
How we deliver the best backend app development
Four phases from idea to production backend.
Phase 1: Idea. We map your data model, user flows, and API contracts. You get a technical specification with endpoint list and database schema.
Phase 2: Roadmap. We estimate every feature in hours and give you a fixed price. You approve the scope before we write a single line of code.
What ships with your backend
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default.
You get a production-ready backend with automated testing, monitoring, and documentation. No hidden costs, no missing pieces.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Automated test suite (unit + integration)
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Database schema and migration scripts
- Monitoring with Datadog and Sentry
- Docker compose for local development
- Load test report from k6
- Post-launch support for 30 days
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS subscription backend
IRPR built a multi-tenant backend for a B2B SaaS startup. Node.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe. Reduced onboarding time from 3 days to 15 minutes. Handles 50,000 daily active users.
Real-time logistics API
Built a WebSocket backend for a fleet tracking platform. Python, Redis, AWS IoT Core. Reduced delivery delays by 22% with real-time driver alerts. Processes 1 million location updates per day.
HIPAA-compliant patient portal
Developed a healthcare backend with FHIR API integration. Python, PostgreSQL, AWS HealthLake. Passed HIPAA audit on first attempt. Handles 10,000 patient records with 99.9% uptime.
Ecommerce order management
Built a microservices backend for an online retailer. Go, Kafka, PostgreSQL. Integrated with Shopify and ShipStation. Reduced order processing time from 4 hours to 12 minutes.
Fintech payment processing
Designed a PCI-DSS compliant payment backend. Java, Spring Boot, AWS RDS. Processes $5 million in monthly transactions. Passed PCI SAQ D on first submission.
EdTech assessment platform
Built a FERPA-compliant backend for a K-12 testing platform. Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis. Supports 100,000 concurrent students during peak exam periods. Auto-scales with AWS Fargate.
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. You know the cost before we build.
Full source code ownership
You own 100% of the code from day one. We put it in your private GitHub repo. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no hidden terms.
Production-grade from day one
Every backend ships with CI/CD, automated tests, monitoring, and load testing. We do not hand over prototypes. You get a system ready for production traffic.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of backend experience. No junior developers, no offshore code mills. Every line of code is reviewed by a senior engineer.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA compliant backends. Our engineers know the audit requirements and build for them from the start. No retrofitting.
8-12 week delivery
Most MVPs ship in 8-12 weeks. We use proven patterns and avoid rewriting common infrastructure. You get a working backend in months, not years.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
