Why Your Product Needs an Affordable Backend API
A well-designed backend API is the foundation of every modern application.
Without a dedicated API layer, your frontend and mobile apps depend on monolithic backends that break with every change. Dedicated APIs allow independent scaling, faster feature releases, and seamless third-party integrations.
IRPR builds APIs from the ground up with security, performance, and maintainability in mind. Over 200 products shipped across 50 countries, with 98% on-time delivery track record.
How IRPR Delivers Affordable Backend APIs
We separate from generic dev agencies through process and transparency.
Most agencies charge by the hour and hand you code with no monitoring or documentation. Scope creeps, timelines stretch, and you are left with unfinished work.
IRPR uses a fixed-price model after a 2-week Roadmap phase. You know the exact cost and delivery date from week 2. Every API ships with CI/CD, tests, monitoring, and full documentation.
- Hourly billing with no budget cap
- Unclear code ownership
- 6 month+ timelines
- No operational monitoring
- Undefined scope leads to change orders
- Low or zero test coverage
- Fixed price from week 2 (Roadmap phase)
- Full code ownership, no licensing restrictions
- 8-12 week delivery guaranteed
- Sentry + PagerDuty monitoring built-in
- Defined scope with Roadmap document signed off
- 90%+ test coverage with load testing report
Our Process for Building Your Backend API
We ship production-ready APIs in four phases, each with clear milestones.
Every project starts with a structured approach that eliminates guesswork. From discovery to deployment, we keep you informed at every step.
The entire process takes 8-12 weeks for most APIs. Larger systems with microservices may extend to 16 weeks, but always at a fixed price confirmed after phase 2.
What Ships With Your Affordable Backend API
Every API delivery includes these deliverables, no hidden add-ons.
When you hire IRPR as your affordable backend API development team, you receive a complete, production-ready system. No unfinished code or missing pieces.
All deliverables are listed in your Roadmap document and signed off before we start building. You own everything.
- Source code in your private GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- PagerDuty alerting for critical failures
- API documentation via Swagger/OpenAPI 3.0
- Postman collection for testing
- Unit + integration tests (90%+ coverage)
- Load testing report (k6 or Artillery)
- Cloud infrastructure as code (Terraform or CDK)
- 1 month of post-launch bug fixes and support
