Measurable results from custom backend development
Every backend we build ships with metrics that matter to your business.
IRPR has delivered 200+ backend projects for clients in 50+ countries. Our average delivery time is 12 weeks, and 98% of projects launch on schedule. We monitor uptime for every deployment: 99.9% is our baseline.
Clients report 40-60% faster frontend development after we ship their API. Database queries that used to take 2 seconds now return in under 50ms. Our teams write integration tests that cover 90% of endpoints.
What makes IRPR different from a generic dev shop
Most backend agencies bill by the hour and hand you incomplete code. We don't.
Generic agencies often assign junior developers, change scope mid-project, and keep IP ownership unclear. Their backends lack tests, documentation, and proper CI/CD pipelines. Delivery timelines stretch from months to years.
At IRPR, every project is built by senior engineers with 10+ years of experience. We give you fixed pricing after a 2-week Roadmap phase. You own all code from day one. We deliver a fully tested, documented, and deployable backend in 12 weeks.
- junior developers with little oversight
- hourly billing with no cap
- unclear code ownership
- no automated tests or CI/CD
- manual deployment with downtime
- project timeline: 6+ months
- senior engineers only (10+ years avg)
- fixed price after 2-week Roadmap
- 100% IP ownership in your repo
- CI/CD with 90%+ test coverage
- zero-downtime deployments on AWS
- project timeline: 8-12 weeks
How we build your custom backend in 12 weeks
A clear, four-phase process that removes guesswork.
Our process starts with a 2-week Roadmap where we define scope, architecture, and fixed price. No hidden fees. Then we build an MVP in 8-12 weeks using weekly sprints and continuous delivery.
After launch, we provide 30 days of hyper-care and an operations handover. You get full documentation, runbooks, and 24/7 monitoring from day one.
What ships with every backend project
These deliverables are included in your fixed price.
Every backend we build comes with production-ready infrastructure, full test coverage, and clear documentation. You get everything needed to operate and extend the system.
- Full source code in your private Git repo (GitHub/GitLab)
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated unit, integration, and e2e tests (90%+ coverage)
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / CloudFormation) on AWS
- Database schema migrations and seed scripts
- API documentation with Postman collection and Swagger/OpenAPI
- Authentication system with JWT, OAuth, or SAML
- Error tracking with Sentry and logging with ELK stack
- Performance monitoring with DataDog (CPU, memory, query latency)
- Deployment runbook and operations handover document
What we ship in this practice.
REST API for on-demand delivery
Built a REST API for a logistics startup that handles 10,000 orders/day. Tech stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, deployed on AWS ECS. Reduced order processing time by 40% and cut database query time from 2 seconds to 80ms.
Real-time backend for live streaming
Developed a WebSocket server for a media platform using Socket.io and Kafka. Supports 500,000 concurrent viewers with 99.99% uptime. Handled 2000+ messages per second during live events.
GraphQL API for e-commerce
Created a GraphQL layer for a multi-brand marketplace. Written in TypeScript with Apollo Server, connected to PostgreSQL via Prisma. Frontend development time dropped by 50% because teams could query exactly what they needed.
Microservices for fintech payment processing
Replaced a monolithic PHP backend with 8 Go microservices communicating via gRPC and Kafka. Managed to handle a 10x increase in transaction volume during peak hours. PCI-DSS compliant with automated security scanning.
HIPAA-compliant backend for telehealth
Built a patient portal backend with end-to-end encryption, audit logging, and HL7 FHIR integration. Used Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL with row-level security. Reduced patient data access time by 30% for doctors.
Background job system for SaaS email campaigns
Implemented a job queue using RabbitMQ and Node.js workers for a B2B SaaS. Processes 1 million email sends per week with retries and deduplication. Email delivery latency dropped from 5 minutes to under 10 seconds.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote after the 2-week Roadmap. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of backend experience. Every developer has shipped production systems at scale. No junior or offshore interns work on your project.
Full IP ownership
You own 100% of the code from the first commit. We store everything in your own GitHub or GitLab repo. No licensing fees, no restrictions.
Compliance built-in
We integrate SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR controls into every backend. Automated compliance checks run in CI, so you stay audit-ready.
12-week delivery guarantee
Our MVP process is designed to ship in 8-12 weeks. If we miss the agreed timeline, we cover the extra engineering cost. 98% of our projects launch on schedule.
Ongoing support and maintenance
After launch, we offer a fixed monthly retainer for monitoring, bug fixes, and small enhancements. Average retainer cost is $5K-$15K per month.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
