Affordable Backend API Development CompanyBackend API Development
We build production-ready APIs in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing. 98% of our projects ship on time.
IRPR is an affordable backend API development company. We use Node.js, Python, Go, and Postgres to build APIs that handle millions of requests per day.
Most projects ship in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing between $80K and $250K. We follow PCI DSS and SOC 2 compliance standards for every API.
Startups hire us to build their first production API. Scaleups need us to replace their legacy REST endpoints. Product teams bring us in to add real-time WebSocket capabilities.
Types of software we ship.
REST API
REST APIs are the standard for CRUD operations. We build them with Express.js or FastAPI with Swagger docs.
GraphQL API
GraphQL APIs let frontend teams query exactly what they need. We use Apollo Server with Prisma for type safety.
WebSocket API
Real-time WebSocket APIs power live chat, gaming, and collaborative tools. We use Socket.IO or native WebSockets.
Microservices API
Break a monolith into small services that talk via gRPC or message queues. We use RabbitMQ and Kubernetes.
Serverless API
Serverless APIs scale to zero. We use AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB for event-driven backends.
Third Party API Integration
Connect your app to Stripe, Salesforce, Twilio, or Slack. We build middleware that handles rate limiting and retries.
Internal API
Internal APIs connect your CRM, ERP, and HR systems. We use OAuth 2.0 and API keys for secure auth.
Open API / Public API
Publish an API for external developers. We create versioned endpoints with usage plans and API keys.
We build for every business type.
SaaS companies
Fintech companies
Healthcare companies
Ecommerce companies
Logistics and travel
Why choose IRPR as your affordable backend API development company
We deliver API backends that are fast, secure, and maintainable without the enterprise price tag.
IRPR has shipped over 200 products across 50 countries. Our APIs handle 99.9% uptime on AWS and GCP infrastructure. We use automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions to deploy every commit.
Every API comes with full test coverage, Sentry error tracking, and Grafana dashboards. Your team gets the source code and documentation on day one of the maintenance phase.
Generic dev shops vs IRPR
Most agencies charge by the hour and ship late. IRPR works differently.
Generic dev shops often start with a vague estimate and bill you for every meeting. IRPR gives you a fixed price in week 2 of the Roadmap phase.
We have senior engineers only. No junior developers learning on your project. Your API is built by people who have shipped production code for 10+ years.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No compliance knowledge
- Junior devs on your project
- No automated testing
- No CI/CD pipeline
- Code ownership unclear
- Fixed price from week 2
- HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2
- Senior engineers only
- 90%+ test coverage
- GitHub Actions CI/CD
- You own all source code
Our 4-phase process for building your backend API
We follow a repeatable process from idea to production.
Every engagement starts with a 1-week discovery call where we map your requirements and technical constraints. We then move into the Roadmap phase where we produce a detailed plan and fixed price.
The Product phase is where we build your API in 8-12 weeks. We ship code daily, and you see progress through a shared Slack channel and GitHub repo. Release includes deployment to your cloud account and full handover.
What ships with your backend API from IRPR
You get more than just endpoints. Every API ships with a complete devops and monitoring setup.
IRPR believes in full transparency. Your team gets access to every piece of code, every configuration file, and every dashboard. No black boxes.
We also provide a handover session where we walk your developers through the codebase, the deployment process, and how to extend the API in the future.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Docker containers for each service
- Postgres database with migrations
- Sentry error tracking
- Grafana + Prometheus monitoring
- Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
- Unit tests with 90%+ coverage
- Deployment to AWS or GCP
- 1-hour handover session

Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write the first line of code.
Senior engineers only
We only hire senior engineers with 10+ years of experience. No junior developers learning on your API. Every line of code is written by someone who has shipped production systems before.
Compliance built in
We build APIs that meet HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 standards from day one. No retrofitting compliance later. Our team has delivered compliant APIs for healthcare, fintech, and ecommerce clients.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code we write. Your source code, your Docker images, your CI/CD pipeline. No vendor lock in. No licensing fees. You can take the code and run it anywhere.
Proven delivery track record
We have shipped over 200 products in 50+ countries. 98% of our projects deliver on time. Our clients range from early stage startups to publicly traded companies.
Modern tech stack
We use Node.js, Python, Go, Postgres, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS/GCP. Your API is built on the same tools that power Netflix, Uber, and Slack. No legacy frameworks.
