Experienced Backend App Development PartnerBackend Development
We build secure, scalable APIs and backend systems. Ship your MVP in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price.
IRPR builds backend systems for apps that handle millions of requests. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS to create APIs, microservices, and data pipelines.
A typical backend project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2.
We work with CTOs who need to scale their platform, founders launching a SaaS MVP, engineering leads modernizing legacy systems, and product managers integrating third-party APIs.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build stateless, versioned REST APIs using Express.js or FastAPI with automatic Swagger documentation.
GraphQL API Development
Create flexible GraphQL endpoints with Apollo Server or Hasura, reducing over-fetching by up to 60%.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose monoliths into Dockerized microservices with RabbitMQ or Kafka for async communication.
Real-time Backend (WebSockets)
Implement live features with Socket.IO or AWS API Gateway WebSockets for chat, notifications, and dashboards.
Serverless Backend (AWS Lambda)
Build event-driven backends with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and Step Functions for zero server management.
Database Design & Optimization
Design normalized schemas, write complex queries, and tune PostgreSQL or MongoDB for sub-10ms response times.
Authentication & Authorization Systems
Implement OAuth2, SAML, and JWT-based auth using Auth0 or custom Passport.js strategies.
Data Pipeline & ETL
Build batch and streaming data pipelines with Apache Airflow or AWS Glue to process millions of records daily.
We build for every business type.
SaaS platforms
Ecommerce
Healthcare
Fintech
Logistics
Backend development that scales with your users
Our backend systems handle millions of requests without breaking.
We design for horizontal scaling from day one. Every API we build uses connection pooling, caching with Redis, and auto-scaling groups on AWS. A recent fintech client saw their transaction throughput grow from 1,000 to 50,000 per minute without a single outage.
Load testing is part of every delivery. We use k6 and Artillery to verify your backend can handle 10x your expected traffic. If it doesn't, we optimize until it does.
The difference between generic shops and IRPR
Most dev shops treat backend as an afterthought. We treat it as the foundation.
Generic shops assign junior developers to backend work. They write monolithic code with no tests, no monitoring, and no documentation. You end up with a system that breaks under load and costs twice as much to fix later.
IRPR assigns senior backend engineers only. We produce a Roadmap in week 2 with a fixed price. Every project includes CI/CD, error tracking, and a security review. You get production-ready infrastructure from day one.
- No dedicated backend architect
- Hourly billing with no fixed scope
- No CI/CD pipeline
- No monitoring or alerting
- No security audit
- Code ownership unclear
- Senior backend engineers only
- Fixed price from week 2
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking and PagerDuty
- Security review in Roadmap phase
- Full source code ownership
Our backend development process
From idea to production in 12 weeks.
We break every backend project into four phases. Each phase ends with a deliverable you can review and test. This keeps the project on time and on budget.
The process is documented in our Roadmap. You see exactly what we build, when we build it, and how much it costs before we write a single line of code.
What ships with your backend
Every project includes production-ready infrastructure.
Your backend comes with a fully documented API, deployment scripts, and monitoring dashboards. You can hand the keys to your internal team on day one.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Database schema and migrations
- Unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage)
- Sentry error tracking
- Datadog or CloudWatch monitoring
- Security audit report
- Deployment runbook
- Postman collection
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time analytics dashboard for a SaaS platform
Built a WebSocket-backed analytics service that reduced dashboard load times by 80%. Stack: Node.js, Redis, PostgreSQL, Socket.IO. The client now serves 5,000 concurrent users with sub-100ms query times.
Payment processing microservice for fintech startup
Implemented PCI-DSS compliant payment handling that processes 10,000 transactions per hour. Stack: Go, Stripe, AWS Lambda, RDS. The system handles peak holiday traffic with zero downtime.
Patient data API for telehealth app
Created HIPAA-compliant API for patient records, reducing data retrieval time from 5 seconds to 200ms. Stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS. The app now supports 50,000 active patients.
Inventory management backend for ecommerce brand
Built a real-time inventory sync system that cut stockouts by 60%. Stack: Node.js, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Shopify API. The client reduced manual inventory checks by 10 hours per week.
Authentication service for multi-tenant SaaS
Delivered a scalable auth system supporting OAuth2 and SAML, handling 50,000 concurrent users. Stack: Node.js, Passport.js, PostgreSQL, Redis. The client onboarded 200 enterprise tenants in 3 months.
Data pipeline for logistics company
Developed an ETL pipeline processing 1 million tracking events daily, reducing reporting time from 24 hours to 15 minutes. Stack: Python, Apache Airflow, AWS Glue, Redshift. The client saved $40K per year in manual reporting costs.
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 start building.
Senior engineers only
IRPR hires only senior backend engineers with 5+ years of experience. Every engineer has shipped at least 10 production systems. No juniors, no offshore teams.
8-12 week delivery
We ship a production-ready backend in 8-12 weeks. Our process is optimized for speed without sacrificing quality. 98% of our projects deliver on time.
Full code ownership
You own 100% of the source code, documentation, and deployment scripts. We transfer everything to your GitHub repo. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant backends from the start. Compliance is part of the architecture, not an afterthought. We include security audits in every project.
Post-launch support
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support at no extra cost. We monitor, fix bugs, and help your team take over. Extended maintenance is available at $5K per month.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
