Affordable API Development TeamAPI Development Team
We build production-grade APIs in 12 weeks. Fixed price, full ownership, no surprises.
IRPR builds affordable API development teams for startups and mid-market companies. We ship custom REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and microservices using Node.js, Python, Go, AWS Lambda, and PostgreSQL.
Each project delivers in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $40K and $150K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 out of the box.
Startup CTOs hire us to launch their MVP backend. Engineering managers use us to integrate third-party systems. Product owners scale their platforms without hiring internally. Enterprise teams get a cost-effective external squad.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build stateless, cacheable REST APIs with OpenAPI specs. Use Express.js, Django, or Spring Boot.
GraphQL API Development
Flexible GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Hasura. Reduce over-fetching and speed up frontend development.
Microservices API Development
Decouple your backend into small, independent services. Use Docker, Kubernetes, and message queues like RabbitMQ.
Webhook Integration
Receive and send real-time events via webhooks. Integrate with Stripe, Shopify, Slack, or custom endpoints.

Why hire an affordable API development team
We have built over 200 APIs for companies in 50 countries. Here is what we deliver.
IRPR's affordable API development team works on fixed price contracts. You know the cost before we write a line of code. No hourly tracking, no surprise invoices.
Every API ships with automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring. We use Datadog for uptime, Sentry for errors, and OpenAPI for documentation. Your team can start integrating within hours of launch.
How we compare to other API development teams
Most agencies hide costs and deliver late. IRPR does the opposite.
Generic dev shops often start with vague estimates and bill by the hour. You never know the final price until the project ends. They rarely share code ownership or provide post-launch support.
IRPR gives you a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase. You own the source code from day one. We include 1 year of maintenance and 24/7 monitoring.
- Hourly billing with unclear scope
- No fixed delivery date
- Code stays with the agency
- Slow email-only communication
- No compliance expertise
- No support after launch
- Fixed price after 2-week Roadmap
- 12-week delivery guarantee
- Full code ownership in your repo
- Dedicated PM, daily Slack updates
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
- 1 year of maintenance included
Our process for building your API
We follow a four-phase process to deliver your API on time and on budget.
Every project starts with a Discovery call where we map your requirements and constraints. Then we move to Roadmap to lock scope and price.
Build phase runs for 8-10 weeks with weekly demos. Release includes deployment, monitoring, and documentation handoff.
What you get with every API project
Every deliverable is designed to make your team self-sufficient after launch.
We ship more than just code. You get everything needed to maintain, monitor, and scale your API independently.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- OpenAPI 3.0 documentation
- Postman collection with example requests
- Datadog monitoring dashboard
- Sentry error tracking integration
- Load testing report from k6
- Security audit (OWASP top 10)
- Deployment scripts for AWS or GCP
- 1 year of critical bug fixes
