Experienced Backend Development FirmFirm
We build production-grade backend systems for SaaS platforms, fintech apps, and data-heavy products. Ship in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing and no surprises.
IRPR is an experienced backend development firm that builds scalable API services, microservices, and data pipelines using Go, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kubernetes. Every project is architected for high throughput, low latency, and easy maintenance.
We deliver fully functional backend systems in 8 to 12 weeks with a fixed price ranging from $80,000 to $250,000, depending on complexity. Our team ships cloud-native code that meets HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance standards from day one.
CTOs scaling their MVP to production hire us because we only assign senior engineers with 7+ years of experience. Engineering leaders who need a complete backend team without recruiting overhead work with us. Founders building compliance-heavy platforms trust our PCI-DSS and HIPAA expertise. Product managers offload backend work to us to stay on schedule.
Types of software we ship.
Microservices Architecture
Decouple your application into independent, deployable services. Each service has its own database, CI/CD pipeline, and deployment target.
API Gateway
Centralize authentication, rate limiting, and routing for all your microservices. IRPR builds gateways with Kong or custom Go routers.
Event-Driven System
Process data asynchronously using Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ. Reduces latency and supports real-time events across the stack.
Real-Time Data Pipeline
Ingest, transform, and deliver streaming data using Apache Flink or AWS Kinesis. Handles millions of events per minute.
Backend for Frontend (BFF)
A dedicated API layer that serves a single frontend app. Reduces over-fetching and optimizes client-server communication.
Serverless Functions
Run isolated backend logic with AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions. Pay only for execution time and scale automatically.
Monolithic Backend
A single deployable unit for early-stage products. Built with Node.js or Django, with a clear path to microservices later.
Database Migration Service
Safely migrate from legacy databases (MySQL, Oracle) to modern systems (PostgreSQL, CockroachDB) with zero downtime.
We build for every business type.
SaaS
Fintech
Healthtech
Data Platforms
Ecommerce
Why companies choose IRPR for backend development
Our track record speaks for itself.
IRPR has shipped over 200 backend systems for clients in 50 countries. Every project is built by senior engineers and delivered on time. Our clients range from early-stage startups to public health insurers.
We focus on measurable results: 98% of projects ship within the agreed timeline, and our systems maintain 99.9% uptime in production. That reliability lets you focus on product while we handle the backend.
Generic agency vs IRPR
Most development shops bill hourly and hand you messy code. We do the opposite.
When you hire a generic dev shop, you often get junior developers, vague timelines, and code that doesn't scale. There's no documentation, no CI/CD, and no clear ownership. You pay for uncertainty.
IRPR assigns only senior engineers with a minimum of 7 years of backend experience. Every project ships with complete API docs, automated tests, and a deployment pipeline. You own the code from day one.
- vague estimates that balloon
- junior or offshore developers
- no API documentation
- no CI/CD pipeline
- code not owned by you
- tech lock-in to one provider
- fixed price from roadmap phase
- senior engineers only (7+ years)
- OpenAPI docs shipped with code
- automated CI/CD on GitHub Actions
- full source code ownership
- cloud-native with multi-cloud support
Our backend development process
We follow a structured four-phase process that guarantees delivery in 8-12 weeks.
The process starts with a one-week kickoff where we align on requirements and create a detailed roadmap. Then our architects design the system in week two, including database schema, API contracts, and deployment strategy.
Build sprints run for 6-8 weeks with weekly demos so you see progress live. The final week covers deployment, performance testing, and handover of all documentation and monitoring setups.
What ships with your backend
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default.
You get everything needed to run and maintain the system yourself, or let us continue managing it.
- Source code in your private GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- Automated unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage)
- OpenAPI 3.0 documentation with Swagger UI
- Docker containers for every service
- Staging environment identical to production
- Production monitoring with Datadog and Sentry
- Slack notifications for deploys and alerts
- Deployment playbook with rollback instructions
- One year of security patches and hotfixes
What we ship in this practice.
Payment processing API for fintech POS
Built a PCI-DSS compliant payment API that processes 500 transactions per second. Integrated with Stripe and Braintree. Reduced transaction failure rate by 15%. Tech stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes.
Real-time inventory sync for ecommerce
Developed an event-driven inventory sync engine that keeps stock levels accurate across Shopify, Amazon, and three warehouses. Cut stockouts by 40%. Tech stack: Node.js, Apache Kafka, MongoDB, AWS Lambda.
HIPAA-compliant patient data service
Created a medical records API for a telemedicine platform. End-to-end encryption and audit logging. Achieved SOC 2 Type II certification in 4 months. Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS ECS.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend with Stripe billing
Designed a backend that supports 50+ tenants with isolated databases and metered billing via Stripe. Automated provisioning of new tenants in under 5 minutes. Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Heroku.
Video transcoding pipeline for media platform
Built a serverless pipeline that transcodes 10,000+ videos daily using AWS MediaConvert. Reduces video processing cost by 60% compared to previous solution. Tech stack: Python, AWS Step Functions, S3, CloudFront.
Cloud migration from monolith to microservices
Migrated a legacy monolith to 12 microservices with zero downtime. Deployed on Kubernetes with service mesh (Istio). Improved deployment frequency from monthly to daily. Tech stack: Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes.
Why teams hire us.
Senior-only engineering team
Every engineer on your project has at least 7 years of backend experience. No junior or offshore developers touch your code. You get a team that can solve complex problems without handholding.
Fixed price from day one
After the 1-week roadmap phase (week 2), you receive a fixed price quote. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. We have delivered 98% of projects within the original budget.
Full code ownership
You own the entire source code from the first commit. No licenses, no lock-in, no royalties. We hand over repos, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation at the end of the project.
Weekly demos and transparency
Every Friday you see a live demo of what was built that week. You can change direction immediately. This iterative approach catches issues early and keeps the project on schedule.
Cloud-native by default
All systems are built for AWS, GCP, or Azure with infrastructure as code (Terraform). We design for auto-scaling, multi-region deployment, and 99.9% uptime from the start.
Compliance-ready infrastructure
We embed HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 controls into the architecture from day one. Our team has built compliant systems for healthcare payers, payment processors, and enterprise SaaS companies.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
