Custom Backend Development DevelopersDevelopers
Build a production-ready backend in 8-12 weeks. Get a dedicated team of senior engineers who ship fast and clean.
IRPR builds custom backend systems for companies that need reliable, scalable APIs, microservices, and databases. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker to ship production-ready code in 8-12 weeks.
Every project starts with a Roadmap phase (week 2) where we lock the scope and give a fixed price. Typical backend projects range from $80,000 to $250,000 depending on complexity. We work under HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance when needed.
CTOs of funded startups hire us to build their first backend. Product managers at mid-market companies need a team that ships on time. Enterprise architects choose us for compliant, well-documented systems. Tech leads at growing companies come to us when their current stack can't handle the load.
Types of software we ship.
Custom API development
Build REST or GraphQL APIs with authentication, rate limiting, and documentation. Integrates with Stripe, Twilio, AWS Lambda.
Microservices architecture
Decouple monolithic apps into independent services. Uses Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, and gRPC for inter-service communication.
Database design and optimization
Design schemas, tune queries, and set up replication. Works with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, TimescaleDB, and Redis caching.
Real-time backend systems
Build WebSocket servers and event-driven pipelines for live dashboards, chat, and notifications. Uses Socket.io, Kafka, and Redis Pub/Sub.
Authentication and authorization systems
Implement SSO, OAuth2, JWT, and role-based access control. Integrates with Auth0, Okta, and SAML providers.
Data pipeline development
Extract, transform, and load data from multiple sources. Uses Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, and custom ETL scripts in Python.
Serverless backend
Deploy functions and APIs on serverless infrastructure. Uses AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Serverless Framework.
Legacy backend modernization
Migrate old PHP, Java, or .NET backends to modern stacks. Reduces operating costs by 40-60% and improves scalability.
We build for every business type.
Startups and scaleups
Enterprise platforms
Data-intensive businesses
Compliance-heavy industries
API-first businesses
Why custom backend development developers choose IRPR
We have shipped 200+ backend systems across 50 countries.
Every project gets a dedicated team of senior engineers who average 10+ years of experience. We use the same tools your team already knows: Git, CI/CD, code reviews, and Slack communication.
Our clients in New York, San Francisco, and London trust us with their core infrastructure. We handle HIPAA audits, PCI compliance scans, and SOC 2 Type II reports as part of the build.
IRPR vs generic dev shops for custom backend development
Most agencies overpromise and underdeliver. Here is what we do differently.
Generic shops often start coding without a clear architecture. They burn your budget on exploration and deliver untested code that fails under load.
IRPR follows a structured process: architecture review, Roadmap with a fixed price, biweekly sprints, and a handover that includes full documentation and CI/CD pipelines.
- No fixed pricing – changes mid-project
- Junior-heavy teams with high turnover
- No compliance certifications
- Documentation after delivery is missing
- No monitoring or incident response
- You don't own the code until final payment
- Fixed price locked in Roadmap phase (week 2)
- Senior engineers only – average 10+ years
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 built in
- Full documentation in Notion from day one
- CI/CD pipeline with Sentry and Datadog monitoring
- Full code ownership from project start
How we build your custom backend in 12 weeks
A repeatable process that eliminates guesswork.
Our process is based on 200+ deliveries. Every backend goes through the same four phases, from idea to production release.
We ship working code every two weeks. By week 12, your backend is live with monitoring, documentation, and a handoff session.
What ships with every custom backend development project
You get more than code. Every deliverable is ready for production.
We treat your backend as a product, not a throwaway prototype. Everything below is included in the fixed price.
Your team can take over instantly because we document as we build.
- Source code in your GitHub repo with branch protection
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or CircleCI
- Automated unit tests (Jest, Pytest) covering 80%+ coverage
- Integration tests for all API endpoints
- API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI or Postman collection)
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or Pulumi scripts)
- Docker containers with Docker Compose for local dev
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog performance monitoring
- Security audit report (SAST scan + dependency check)
- Deployment runbook and architecture diagram (draw.io)
What we ship in this practice.
HIPAA-compliant API for a telehealth startup
Built a REST API handling patient appointments, video call metadata, and PHI storage. Used Node.js, PostgreSQL with pgcrypto encryption, and AWS KMS. Reduced manual data entry by 12 hours per week and passed HIPAA audit on first review.
Payment microservices for a fintech platform
Designed a set of microservices for transaction processing, fraud scoring, and reconciliation. Built with Go, Kafka, and CockroachDB. Handles 5,000 transactions per second and achieved PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance.
Real-time order backend for an e-commerce marketplace
Created a WebSocket server for live order tracking and inventory sync. Integrated with Shopify and Stripe via custom webhooks. Cut order processing time from 3 minutes to under 10 seconds.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend for a CRM startup
Built a multi-tenant backend with isolated databases per tenant, role-based access, and usage metering. Used Django, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Onboarded 50 enterprise tenants within the first quarter.
Real-time tracking backend for a logistics company
Developed a backend that ingests GPS data from 10,000+ devices every 30 seconds. Used Node.js, MQTT, MongoDB, and Kafka. Reduced latency from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds and enabled live route optimization.
Content delivery backend for a media company
Architected a serverless backend to serve video metadata, user playlists, and search. Used AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and Elasticsearch. Cut monthly hosting costs by 40% and scaled to 1 million daily active users.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every backend project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of experience. We never staff juniors on production work. You work directly with engineers who have built systems at scale.
Compliance built in
We integrate HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 controls from day one. Every backend ships with audit logging, encryption, and access controls.
Predictable 8-12 week delivery
We have shipped 200+ backends on time. Our sprint process means you see working code every two weeks and launch by week 12.
Full code ownership
You own the source code, infrastructure, and documentation from day one. There are no licensing fees or lock-in terms.
Async-first global team
We work in time zones from New York to Singapore. You get daily updates async, weekly video calls, and 4+ hours of real-time overlap with US hours.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
