Why choose an affordable backend app development firm?
Cost-effective backend development does not mean cutting corners on quality or security.
IRPR delivers production-ready backend systems at a fixed price. Our senior engineers write clean, testable code with CI/CD pipelines and automated monitoring. We have shipped over 200 products across 50 countries, with 98% on time.
By using proven architectures and open-source tools, we keep costs low without sacrificing performance. Our average MVP timeline is 12 weeks, and we include 30 days of post-launch support in every engagement.
How IRPR differs from generic development shops
Most backend development firms charge by the hour and hand you code with no warranty. IRPR works differently.
Generic shops often assign junior developers, change scope mid-project, and deliver without documentation. You end up paying more for rework and maintenance.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only, locks scope in a Roadmap deliverable, and ships with full test coverage, CI/CD, and deployment scripts. You own 100% of the code from day one.
- Unclear scope leading to change orders
- Hourly billing with no cost cap
- Junior developers with minimal oversight
- No compliance certifications (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2)
- No CI/CD pipeline or automated testing
- No post-launch support included
- Fixed price locked in Roadmap phase (week 2)
- Senior engineers only (avg 10+ years)
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 ready
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions, Sentry monitoring
- 12-week delivery with 98% on-time record
- 30-day post-launch support included
Our backend development process in 4 steps
We move from idea to production backend in 12 weeks with clear milestones at each step.
Every engagement begins with a 1-week discovery phase where we map your requirements, data model, and integrations. We then produce a detailed Roadmap with fixed price and timeline.
The build phase runs 8-10 weeks with weekly demos and automated deployments. We release to production with load testing, monitoring, and a rollback plan.
What ships with every affordable backend project
You get more than just code. Every delivery includes the tools and documentation to run and maintain your system.
We believe in full transparency and ownership. All source code, infrastructure scripts, and documentation are yours from day one. No lock-in, no hidden fees.
Our standard delivery includes CI/CD, error tracking, and performance monitoring so your team can deploy with confidence.
- Source code in your private GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with automatic tests
- Sentry error tracking with alerts
- Docker containers for local and production environments
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or Pulumi) for AWS/GCP
- API documentation generated from OpenAPI/Swagger
- Unit and integration tests with 90%+ coverage
- Performance benchmarks (response times, throughput)
- Deployment playbook with runbooks
- 30-day post-launch support and bug fixes
