Why Choose IRPR as Your Affordable Backend App Development Partner
We deliver production backends in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing and no scope creep.
IRPR has shipped over 200 backend products across 50 countries. Our senior engineers average 10+ years of experience. We use a four-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. The Roadmap phase (week 2) gives you a fixed quote and a detailed plan. No surprises.
Every backend includes CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, monitoring with Sentry and DataDog, and infrastructure as code via Terraform. We deploy to AWS, GCP, or Azure. You get full source code ownership and a 30-day post-release warranty.
Generic Dev Shop vs IRPR: The Real Difference
Not all backend development partners deliver the same quality. Here is what sets IRPR apart.
Generic dev shops often use junior developers, hourly billing, and no fixed scope. Projects run over budget and over timeline. Code quality suffers because there is no code review or automated testing. You end up with technical debt and a backend that cannot scale.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only. Every project has a fixed price from the Roadmap phase. We write automated tests, use CI/CD, and enforce code reviews. Our backends are built to handle millions of requests per day. We also handle compliance for healthcare, fintech, and enterprise clients.

- Fixed price from Roadmap phase (week 2)

Our Process for Building Your Backend
We follow a structured four-phase process that guarantees predictability and quality.
Every project starts with the Idea phase where we align on goals and constraints. Then the Roadmap phase produces a detailed plan and a fixed quote. The Product phase is where we build the backend in sprints. The Release phase includes deployment, monitoring, and a 30-day warranty.
You get weekly demos and a shared Slack channel with the team. All code is in your repository from day one. We use GitHub Issues for task tracking and Notion for documentation. No black boxes.
What Ships with Every Backend
Every project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden costs.
We believe in transparency. Every backend IRPR builds includes production-ready infrastructure, monitoring, and documentation. You can hand the project to any developer after we finish.
All deliverables are listed in the Roadmap phase. If something is missing, we add it before the fixed price is set.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage)
- Sentry error tracking and DataDog monitoring
- Infrastructure as code using Terraform or Pulumi
- API documentation in OpenAPI or GraphQL schema
- Deployment to AWS, GCP, or Azure
- SSL certificate and domain setup
