Affordable Backend App Development VendorBackend App
We build your backend in 8-12 weeks with senior engineers. Fixed pricing from $80K, no hourly billing.
IRPR is an affordable backend app development vendor that designs and builds custom server-side applications using Node.js, Python, Go, and PostgreSQL. Every backend we ship includes a REST or GraphQL API, automated tests, and a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions.
Our fixed-price model starts at $80K for a complete backend MVP delivered in 8-12 weeks. All projects comply with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 standards if required. You own the source code from day one.
Founders with a validated idea hire us to build a production-ready backend without hiring a CTO. Product managers at Series A startups need an affordable vendor to scale their API. Enterprise teams outsource backend modules to us when internal capacity runs out. Agencies partner with us for white-label backend delivery.

Why choose IRPR as your affordable backend app development vendor
We deliver production-ready backends faster and cheaper than in-house teams or most agencies.
IRPR has shipped 200+ backend projects for clients in 50+ countries. Our senior engineers average 10 years of experience each. We use a fixed-price model so you know the cost upfront. The average backend MVP costs between $80K and $250K and takes 8-12 weeks to deliver.
Every backend we build includes automated testing with Jest or PyTest, continuous deployment via GitHub Actions, and monitoring with Sentry and Datadog. We also set up staging and production environments on AWS or GCP. You get full source code ownership and documentation.
How IRPR differs from other backend development vendors
Most agencies bill hourly and change scope. We do not.
When you hire a generic dev shop, you often get junior developers, unclear communication, and budget overruns. They start coding without a clear roadmap. You pay for every hour, even if they go down the wrong path. Code quality suffers, and you have no guarantee of delivery.
IRPR works differently. We spend the first 2 weeks on a detailed Roadmap that defines every API endpoint, database table, and deployment step. You approve the Roadmap before we write a single line of code. The price is fixed. The timeline is fixed. The scope is clear.
- hourly billing with no cap
- junior or offshore developers
- no written roadmap before coding
- unclear API documentation
- manual deployments
- no post-launch support
- fixed price from $80K
- senior engineers with 10+ years
- 2-week Roadmap phase with approval
- auto-generated OpenAPI docs
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- 30 days of free post-launch support
Our process for building your affordable backend
We follow a 4-phase process that eliminates surprises and delivers a working product fast.
Every project starts with an Idea phase where we align on goals and constraints. Then we move to the Roadmap phase where we design the architecture and estimate every feature. After you approve the Roadmap, we build the backend in 6-10 sprints. Finally, we launch and hand over everything.
You get a dedicated project manager and weekly demo calls. We use Jira for task tracking and Slack for daily communication. Our engineers work in your timezone overlap hours, so you are never left waiting.
What ships with every backend project
Every deliverable includes everything you need to run, maintain, and scale your backend.
We do not just hand over code. You get a fully configured infrastructure, automated pipelines, and monitoring tools. Everything is documented and ready for your team to take over.
Our checklist ensures nothing is missed. From database migrations to error tracking, every component is production-ready.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Automated tests (unit, integration, e2e) with 80%+ coverage
- Database schema with Flyway migrations
- API documentation via Swagger/OpenAPI
- Staging and production environments on AWS or GCP
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Docker containers for local development
- Postman collection for API testing
- 30-day post-launch support and maintenance
