experienced custom backend development consultantsbackend development
We build scalable backend systems that ship in 12 weeks. You get a fixed price, senior engineers, and full code ownership.
IRPR's experienced custom backend development consultants build production-ready backends using Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, and cloud services like AWS and GCP. We design APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that handle millions of requests per day.
Every engagement ships a working backend in 8 to 12 weeks with a fixed price between $80,000 and $250,000. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 out of the box. Source code is yours from day one.
CTOs hire us when their in-house team lacks backend depth. Startup founders hire us to ship their first API. Product managers hire us when they need a scalable backend without hiring a full engineering team.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development

Why experienced custom backend development consultants matter
A poorly designed backend costs you time, money, and customers. Here is what our track record looks like.
IRPR has shipped over 200 backend systems across 50 countries. Our consultants average 10+ years of experience each. Every backend we build is designed for scale from day one.
We use automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Sentry for error tracking, and Datadog for monitoring. Post-launch, you get 99.9% uptime SLAs and a 30-day support window for any issues.
Generic dev shop vs IRPR
Not all backend consultants are equal. Here is how we compare.
Many dev shops bill hourly, use junior developers, and hand you code with no documentation. IRPR does the opposite.
We assign senior engineers only, deliver fixed-price quotes in week 2, and ship a production-ready backend with full test coverage and documentation.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior developers on your project
- No compliance documentation
- Code with no tests
- No CI/CD pipeline
- No post-launch support
- Fixed price quoted in week 2
- Senior engineers only (10+ years avg)
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
- 90%+ test coverage
- CI/CD on GitHub Actions
- 30-day post-launch support
How we build your backend
Our process is designed to eliminate surprises. You see progress every week.
We follow a 4-phase framework: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. Each phase has clear deliverables and a sign-off gate.
In the Roadmap phase (week 2), we produce a detailed technical spec, database schema, API contract, and a fixed price. No hidden costs, no scope creep.
What ships with every backend project
Every backend delivery includes these items by default. No add-ons, no upsells.
We believe in full transparency. You get the code, the infrastructure, and the tools to run it yourself.
If you need ongoing maintenance after launch, we offer retainer-based support at a fixed monthly rate.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Database schema and migration scripts
- API documentation (Swagger or Postman collection)
- Unit and integration tests (90%+ coverage)
- Docker Compose for local development
- Deployment scripts for AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Monitoring setup with Sentry and Datadog
- Load test report (k6 or Artillery)
- Admin panel for data management (Strapi or custom)
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend
Built a subscription management backend for a B2B SaaS platform using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Stripe. Reduced onboarding time from 2 weeks to 3 days.
HIPAA-compliant telemedicine API
Designed a HIPAA-compliant backend for a telemedicine startup using Python, FastAPI, and AWS HealthLake. Handles 10,000+ patient records per day.
Real-time logistics tracking system
Built a real-time tracking backend for a logistics company using Go, WebSockets, and Redis. Reduced delivery delays by 25% through live route updates.
Payment processing microservice
Developed a PCI-DSS compliant payment microservice using Node.js, Stripe, and AWS Lambda. Processes $2M in transactions monthly with 99.99% uptime.
Ecommerce inventory management API
Created a RESTful inventory API for an ecommerce brand using Express.js, PostgreSQL, and Shopify. Cut inventory sync errors by 40% and saved 15 hours/week.
EdTech content delivery backend
Built a FERPA-compliant content delivery backend for an EdTech platform using Python, Django, and AWS CloudFront. Serves 500,000+ students with sub-100ms latency.
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 write a line of code.
Senior engineers only
Our consultants average 10+ years of backend experience. No juniors, no offshore teams. Every engineer has shipped production systems handling millions of requests.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant backends by default. Our architecture includes audit logs, encryption at rest, and role-based access control.
Full code ownership
You own the source code from day one. No licenses, no royalties, no lock-in. We hand over the repo, CI/CD pipeline, and deployment scripts at launch.
98% on-time delivery
We track every project against a weekly milestone schedule. If we miss a deadline, we communicate it immediately. Our on-time rate across 200+ projects is 98%.
30-day post-launch support
After launch, we provide 30 days of free support for bug fixes and minor tweaks. You get direct access to the engineers who built your system.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
