Affordable Scalable Backend Development StudioBackend Development
We build scalable backends that handle millions of requests without breaking your budget. Fixed price, senior engineers, and a 12-week timeline.
IRPR is an affordable scalable backend development studio. We build production-ready backends using Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP. Every backend is designed to scale from day one.
We ship a scalable backend in 12-14 weeks with a fixed price starting at $80K. Projects include load testing, auto-scaling, and CI/CD pipelines. Compliance ready for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2.
Founders hire us when they need a backend that handles 10K+ requests per second. CTOs hire us when their in-house team is too slow. Product managers hire us when they need a scalable MVP in 3 months.
Types of software we ship.
REST API backend
Build a RESTful API with Node.js or Go. Includes rate limiting, caching, and API versioning. Integrates with Stripe or Twilio.
GraphQL backend

Why choose an affordable scalable backend development studio
Most backend projects fail because they are too expensive or don't scale.
IRPR is an affordable scalable backend development studio that builds backends that handle 10x traffic spikes without crashing. We use auto-scaling groups, load balancers, and read replicas to keep your backend fast under load. Every backend includes performance testing with k6 or Artillery to verify throughput.
We start at $80K for a complete backend with CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You get a fixed price in week 2 and we ship in 12 weeks.
The difference between generic dev shops and IRPR
Generic dev shops promise scalability but deliver monoliths.
A generic dev shop writes code that works in staging but breaks under load. They use hourly billing and change scope mid-project. You end up with a backend that needs a rewrite after 6 months.
IRPR builds scalable backends from day one. We use Terraform for infrastructure, Sentry for error tracking, and Datadog for monitoring. Every backend is load tested before launch. You get a production-ready system that scales with your business.
- Hourly billing with no price cap
- No load testing until launch day
- Monolithic code that is hard to scale
- No CI/CD pipeline
- No monitoring or alerting
- Code ownership is unclear
- Fixed price from week 2
- Load testing with k6 from week 4
- Microservices or modular monolith for scale
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Sentry + Datadog monitoring included
- Full code ownership transferred to you
How we build your scalable backend in 12 weeks
Our process is designed to reduce risk and ship fast.
We follow a 4-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. Each phase has clear deliverables and a fixed price. You know exactly what you get and when.
Phase 1 (Idea) takes 1 week. We define your backend architecture, choose the stack, and create a data model. Phase 2 (Roadmap) takes 1 week. We write a detailed spec with API endpoints, database schema, and infrastructure plan. Phase 3 (Product) takes 8 weeks. We build the backend, write tests, and deploy to staging. Phase 4 (Release) takes 2 weeks. We load test, set up monitoring, and deploy to production.
What ships with every backend
Every backend includes everything needed for production.
We don't just hand over code. Every backend ships with infrastructure, monitoring, and documentation. You can deploy and maintain it without IRPR.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform
- Auto-scaling group on AWS or GCP
- Load balancer and CDN configuration
- Sentry error tracking
- Datadog monitoring dashboard
- API documentation with Swagger
- Load test results with k6
What we ship in this practice.
B2B SaaS backend for a CRM platform

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.
Senior engineers only
Every engineer at IRPR has 8+ years of experience. We don't hire juniors. You get a team that has shipped 200+ backends.
Scalable from day one
We design every backend to handle 10x traffic spikes. Auto-scaling, read replicas, and caching are included by default. No rewrites needed.
Production-ready in 12 weeks
We ship a production-ready backend with CI/CD, monitoring, and load testing in 12 weeks. Not a prototype, a real system.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, infrastructure configs, and documentation. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in.
Compliance built in
We build backends that meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 requirements. Compliance is not an afterthought, it's part of the architecture.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
