Affordable Backend Web Development ConsultantsBackend Web
We build backend systems that scale. Fixed price, 12-week delivery, full code ownership.
IRPR builds backend systems for web apps, mobile apps, and SaaS platforms. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS to create APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that handle millions of requests per day.
Every project ships in 12-14 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. You get source code, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring dashboards.
Startup founders hire us to build their first production backend. CTOs hire us to refactor legacy monoliths into microservices. Product managers hire us to add API integrations with Stripe, Salesforce, or HubSpot.
Types of software we ship.

Why affordable backend web development consultants matter
A bad backend costs you customers and engineers. We build backends that stay fast under load.
Most backend projects fail because of unclear requirements and scope creep. IRPR uses a fixed-price Roadmap phase (week 2) to lock down every endpoint, data model, and integration before writing code. This eliminates surprises and keeps costs predictable.
Our senior engineers have built backends for 200+ products across 50 countries. We use Node.js, Python, Go, and PostgreSQL by default, but we adapt to your stack. Every project includes automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring with Sentry and Datadog.
How we differ from other backend consultants
Most backend shops charge hourly and let scope creep blow your budget. We do the opposite.
Generic dev shops often start coding without a clear plan. They use hourly billing, so every change request adds cost. They rarely test properly, leaving you with fragile APIs that break in production.
IRPR starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we document every API endpoint, database table, and integration. We give you a fixed price for the entire build. We write automated tests for every endpoint and set up CI/CD before the first deploy.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No written specification
- No automated tests
- No CI/CD pipeline
- No monitoring setup
- Code ownership unclear
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- Detailed API and data model spec
- 100% test coverage for critical paths
- CI/CD on GitHub Actions day one
- Sentry and Datadog monitoring
- Full source code ownership
Our backend development process
We follow a 4-phase process that delivers a production-ready backend in 12 weeks.
Phase 1 is the Roadmap. In 2 weeks we define every API endpoint, database schema, and third-party integration. You get a detailed document and a fixed price for the build.
Phase 2 is the Build. Our senior engineers write code in 2-week sprints. You see progress in a shared GitHub repo and a staging environment. Phase 3 is the Release. We deploy to production, set up monitoring, and run load tests. Phase 4 is the Handoff. You get source code, documentation, and a 30-day warranty.
What ships with every backend project
Every project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden costs.
We believe in shipping production-ready code from day one. Every backend project includes automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring. You get full ownership of the code and infrastructure.
Our standard stack is Node.js or Python with PostgreSQL and Redis. We deploy on AWS using ECS or Lambda. We set up Sentry for error tracking and Datadog for performance monitoring. All secrets are stored in AWS Secrets Manager.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Automated test suite (unit + integration)
- API documentation (OpenAPI or GraphQL schema)
- Database schema and migration scripts
- Sentry error tracking
- Datadog performance monitoring
- AWS infrastructure as code (Terraform)
- Secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager)
- 30-day post-launch warranty
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend
Built a multi-tenant backend for a B2B SaaS platform. Used Node.js, PostgreSQL with row-level security, and Stripe for billing. Reduced tenant onboarding time from 2 weeks to 2 hours.
HIPAA-compliant telemedicine API
Built a HIPAA-compliant backend for a telemedicine startup. Used Python, FastAPI, and AWS with encrypted storage. Passed HIPAA audit on first attempt.
Real-time inventory system
Built a real-time inventory backend for an ecommerce client. Used Node.js, WebSockets, and Redis. Reduced inventory sync latency from 5 minutes to under 1 second.
Payment processing microservice
Built a PCI-DSS compliant payment microservice for a fintech startup. Used Go, PostgreSQL, and Stripe Connect. Handles 10,000 transactions per hour with 99.9% uptime.
MLS data integration backend
Built a backend that ingests MLS data from 50+ sources for a real estate platform. Used Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS Lambda. Reduced data refresh time from 24 hours to 15 minutes.
Learning management system backend
Built a FERPA-compliant backend for an edtech platform. Used Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS. Supports 50,000 concurrent users with sub-200ms response times.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a line of code.
Senior engineers only
We hire senior engineers with 8+ years of experience. No junior developers, no offshore teams. Every engineer has shipped at least 5 production backends.
12-week delivery
Most MVPs ship in 12 weeks. We use 2-week sprints and a shared staging environment so you see progress every sprint. 98% of our projects deliver on time.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and infrastructure. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in. You can take the code to any team after launch.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant backends. Our engineers know the compliance requirements and bake them into the architecture from day one.
Post-launch support
Every project includes a 30-day warranty. We fix bugs, answer questions, and help with the first production issues. After that, we offer ongoing maintenance at a fixed monthly rate.
