Why choose an affordable custom backend development firm like IRPR
Generic dev shops reuse templates. IRPR builds backend systems from scratch to match your exact business logic.
Every backend we build starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define the data model, API contracts, and infrastructure. You get a fixed price and timeline before any code is written. No ambiguity, no change orders.
Our team uses Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and CloudFormation. Every API is deployed behind a CDN with auto-scaling. We monitor performance with Datadog and handle errors with Sentry. Your system stays online 99.9% of the time.
How IRPR differs from other backend development firms
Most firms charge by the hour and let scope creep inflate your budget. IRPR does the opposite.
We give you a fixed quote after the Roadmap phase. That price covers everything: architecture, development, testing, deployment, and documentation. If we discover new requirements during development, we adjust the scope without changing the price.
Our engineers are senior-level only. No juniors learning on your dime. Every pull request is reviewed by a second senior engineer. Code is tested with Jest, Pytest, or Go test frameworks. We ship with CI/CD pipelines that run automated tests and security scans.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior developers assigned to your project
- No written architecture plan before coding
- Scope creep leads to surprise invoices
- Code deployed without automated tests
- No post-launch monitoring setup
- Fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Detailed API and data model documentation
- Scope adjustments included in the fixed price
- 100% test coverage on critical paths
- Datadog monitoring and Sentry error tracking from day one
Our process for building your custom backend
We follow a four-phase process that turns your idea into a production-ready backend system.
Each phase has clear deliverables and a go/no-go decision point. You see progress every week. No black boxes, no waiting months for a demo.
The entire timeline from kickoff to deployment is 12 weeks for most projects. Complex systems with multiple microservices may take 14 weeks. We publish your API documentation on day one and keep it updated through the project.
What ships with every backend project
You get a production-ready system, not just code. Every deliverable is included in the fixed price.
We believe in full transparency. You own the source code, the infrastructure scripts, and the documentation. No vendor lock-in, no recurring fees.
All projects include a CI/CD pipeline, automated testing, and security best practices. We follow OWASP guidelines and run dependency vulnerability scans before every release.
- Source code in your private GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- API documentation with Swagger or Postman
- Database migration scripts and seed data
- Docker containers for local development
- Terraform scripts for cloud infrastructure
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Load test results with k6 or Artillery
- Security audit report with OWASP Top 10 checks
- 30-day post-launch support and bug fixes
What we ship in this practice.
Subscription billing API for a SaaS startup

12-week delivery, not 6 months
We deliver production-ready backend systems in 12 weeks. Our sprint-based process ensures you see working code every 2 weeks. No long waits, no missed deadlines.
