Why affordable backend development consultants matter
A well-architected backend cuts operating costs by 40% and reduces bugs by 60%.
Most development firms charge by the hour and let costs spiral. IRPR fixes the price upfront after a two-week roadmap. That means you know exactly what your backend costs before a single line of code is written.
Affordable backend development consultants from IRPR deliver systems that scale. We set up auto-scaling, load balancing, and monitoring from day one. You get 99.9% uptime and the ability to handle 10K requests per second without rework.
The difference between a freelance backend dev and our team
Most affordable backend consultants deliver code that breaks. We deliver production-ready systems.
Hiring a freelance backend developer might save money upfront. But you often get no architecture review, no documentation, and no staging environment. When the project grows, you pay twice to fix it.
IRPR works with a team of senior engineers who design for scale from the start. We deliver a complete package: APIs, CI/CD, monitoring, and infrastructure code. You own everything and can maintain it yourself.
- no architecture review
- single point of failure
- no documentation
- hourly billing
- no staging environment
- no CI/CD
- architectural design reviews
- load-balanced & redundant
- OpenAPI docs & runbooks
- fixed price per project
- staging + production pipelines
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions & Sentry
How we deliver affordable backend consulting in 4 phases
Each project follows a repeatable 4-phase process that starts with a roadmap.
The roadmap phase is critical. We spend the first two weeks analyzing your use case, selecting the right stack, and mapping out the full backend. You get a fixed quote before we start building.
After sign-off, our senior engineers build and deploy in parallel. You see daily progress in Jira and Slack. Load testing happens in week nine. Your team can start integrating your frontend in week ten.
What ships with every backend project
Every delivery includes everything needed to run and maintain your backend independently.
Source code, documentation, and cloud infrastructure are all part of the package.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Secrets management via AWS Secrets Manager
- Load-balanced auto-scaling group
- Sentry error monitoring and alerts
- Postman/Insomnia API collection
- OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
- Database migration scripts
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform)
- 12-month warranty on critical bugs
