What You Get With an Affordable Backend Development Agency
Our backend projects ship with measurable results that save you time and money.
IRPR has delivered over 200 backend systems in 50+ countries. Each project includes clear SLAs, automated testing, and production monitoring. Our clients see an average 3x improvement in API response times after migrating to our architecture.
We use infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and CloudFormation to ensure repeatable, auditable deployments. This reduces human error and cuts infrastructure costs by 30-40% compared to manual setup.
How IRPR Compares to Generic Development Shops
Most agencies claim affordability but hide costs. IRPR is transparent from day one.
Generic dev shops often use junior developers, charge hourly, and have no fixed timeline. We do the opposite.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only. Every project has a fixed price and a clear roadmap. You never pay for learning time or scope creep.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior or mixed-level teams
- No compliance knowledge (HIPAA, PCI)
- Delayed milestones and budget overruns
- No CI/CD or monitoring built-in
- Code ownership is unclear
- Fixed price from $50,000
- Senior engineers only (10+ years avg experience)
- Built-in compliance: HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2
- On-time delivery 98% of projects
- CI/CD, error tracking, uptime monitoring included
- Full code ownership, no lock-in
Our Backend Development Process
We follow a four-phase process to deliver affordable backend systems predictably.
Phase 1: Idea. We clarify your requirements in a one-week deep dive.
Phase 2: Roadmap. You get a fixed quote, architecture diagram, and tech stack proposal by day 10.
What Ships With Every Backend Project
Every deliverable includes production-ready infrastructure and documentation.
You get a fully functional backend plus everything needed to run and scale it independently. No hidden extras.
- Source code in your private GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated test suite (unit, integration, load)
- Sentry error tracking with alerting
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or CloudFormation)
- Postman collection or OpenAPI 3.0 spec
- Deployment to your cloud account (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Architecture diagram (Draw.io or LucidChart)
- 30 days of post-launch support
- Knowledge transfer session with your team
