Backend Development AgencyDevelopment Agency
We build production-grade backends in 8-12 weeks. Fixed price, no surprises.
IRPR is a backend development agency that builds server-side systems with Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI), Go, and Rust. We ship RESTful and GraphQL APIs, microservices, event-driven architectures, and real-time data pipelines.
Every backend project starts with a fixed-price Roadmap phase (week 2) and delivers a production-ready system in 8-12 weeks. Pricing ranges from $80K to $250K. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA compliance for regulated industries.
Founders hire us to build their MVP backend without hiring a CTO. CTOs bring us in to scale their API layer or migrate from monoliths. Product managers use us to add a payment or auth system in weeks, not months.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless RESTful APIs with Express.js, Fastify, or Django REST Framework. Includes OpenAPI docs and rate limiting.
GraphQL API development
Create a single GraphQL endpoint with Apollo Server or Hasura. Resolves nested queries with DataLoader and caching.
Microservices architecture
Decompose your monolith into Docker containers orchestrated by Kubernetes. Each service has its own database and CI/CD pipeline.
Real-time backend systems
Build WebSocket or SSE-based systems using Socket.io, Redis Pub/Sub, or AWS AppSync. Handles 10K+ concurrent connections.
Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
Provision and manage EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, and VPCs with Terraform or Pulumi. Achieves 99.9% uptime SLA.
Database design and optimization
Design normalized schemas in PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB. Add indexes, partitioning, and read replicas for sub-10ms queries.
Authentication and authorization
Implement OAuth 2.0, JWT, SAML, or OpenID Connect using Auth0, Okta, or Firebase Auth. Includes role-based access control.
Background job processing
Queue and process async tasks with Bull, Sidekiq, Celery, or AWS SQS. Handles email sends, report generation, and data syncs.
We build for every business type.
SaaS platforms
Ecommerce and marketplaces
Healthcare and fintech
Media and content platforms
Enterprise and internal tools
Why you need a dedicated backend development agency
Your frontend needs a backend that scales, stays secure, and ships on time.
IRPR has built 200+ backends for startups and enterprises across 50 countries. Every project uses a strict 4-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. In the Roadmap phase (week 2), we produce a fixed price and a 12-week timeline. No scope creep.
Our engineers average 10+ years of experience. They write tests, set up CI/CD on GitHub Actions, and deploy to AWS with Terraform. You get a production-grade backend with monitoring (Datadog), error tracking (Sentry), and 99.9% uptime SLA.
The difference between a freelancer and a backend development agency
One person can build a prototype. A team ships production systems.
Freelancers often work alone, have limited availability, and lack backup. If they get sick or take another client, your project stalls. They rarely have deep experience with compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS) or multi-region cloud deployments.
IRPR assigns a team of 3-5 senior engineers. We have project managers, QA engineers, and DevOps specialists. Every project has a dedicated Slack channel, daily standups, and bi-weekly demos. You never wait for a single person.

How we build your backend in 8-12 weeks
Our 4-phase process removes guesswork and delivers a working backend fast.
Phase 1 (Idea, week 1): We map your requirements into user stories and data models. You get a documented architecture diagram and a technology stack recommendation.
Phase 2 (Roadmap, week 2): We build a prototype of the core API, test it with real data, and produce a fixed price and timeline. You approve the plan before we write production code.
What ships with every backend project
You get a production-ready system, not a prototype. Every deliverable is listed below.
Every backend project includes source code in your private GitHub repo, a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and monitoring with Datadog and Sentry.
We also provide API documentation (Postman or OpenAPI), a deployment runbook, and a 12-week post-launch support period. No hidden fees. No surprise charges.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform
- Monitoring with Datadog and Sentry
- API documentation (Postman or OpenAPI)
- Deployment runbook
- 12-week post-launch support
- Unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage)
- Load testing report
- Security audit report
