Backend Development StudioDevelopment Studio
We build server-side systems that handle millions of requests. 200+ products shipped across 50+ countries.
IRPR is a backend development studio that builds production-grade server-side software. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS to create APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that scale.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance out of the box. Our senior engineers write all the code - no junior devs, no outsourcing.
Founders hire us to build their SaaS backend from scratch. CTOs hire us to refactor legacy APIs into microservices. Product managers hire us to ship a backend module that their in-house team cannot handle in time.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless RESTful APIs with Node.js or Go. Integrate with Stripe, Twilio, or SendGrid. Includes OpenAPI documentation.
GraphQL API development
Design GraphQL schemas with Apollo or Hasura. Fetch only what you need. Reduce mobile data usage by 40% or more.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into event-driven microservices. Use Docker, Kubernetes, and NATS for async communication.
Database design and optimization
Design normalized schemas in PostgreSQL or MySQL. Add indexing, partitioning, and read replicas for sub-10ms queries.
Real-time backend systems
Build WebSocket or SSE servers for live chat, notifications, or streaming data. Use Socket.io or Redis Pub/Sub.
Serverless backend
Implement AWS Lambda or Cloud Functions for event-driven workloads. Pay per execution. Scale to zero automatically.
Backend for mobile apps
Create backend APIs for iOS and Android apps. Handle authentication, push notifications, and offline sync with Firebase or custom solutions.
Data pipeline and ETL
Build ETL pipelines with Apache Airflow or AWS Glue. Process millions of records daily. Load data into Redshift or Snowflake.
We build for every business type.
SaaS platforms
Healthcare apps
Fintech apps

Backend development studio metrics that matter
Our backend development studio tracks every delivery milestone.
We have shipped 200+ backend systems since 2016. Each project goes through a structured Roadmap phase where we define scope, architecture, and timeline before writing a single line of code. This process keeps 98% of our projects on schedule.
Our clients operate in 50+ countries. We build for compliance standards like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA. Every backend system includes automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring from day one.
Backend development studio vs generic dev shop
Not all backend development studios deliver the same quality.
Generic dev shops assign junior developers to backend projects. They skip automated testing, use outdated frameworks, and deliver code that breaks under load. Their pricing is hourly, so your budget is never fixed.
IRPR assigns only senior engineers with 8+ years of experience. We write tests before code, use modern tooling like Docker and Kubernetes, and guarantee a fixed price from the Roadmap phase. Your code runs on 99.9% uptime infrastructure.
- Junior developers on your project
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No automated tests
- No CI/CD pipeline
- Uses outdated libraries
- No compliance expertise
- Senior engineers only (8+ years)
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- Test-driven development
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Modern stack: Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
How our backend development studio ships your project
We follow a repeatable 4-phase process that eliminates surprises.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call to understand your product goals, timeline, and compliance needs. We then move into the Roadmap phase where we produce a fixed-price proposal with architecture diagrams and a delivery schedule.
The Product phase is where our senior engineers write all the code. You get weekly demos, a staging environment, and direct access to the engineering team. Release includes deployment, monitoring, and documentation.
What ships with every backend from IRPR
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default.
We do not cut corners. Every backend system we build comes with production-grade infrastructure, documentation, and monitoring. You own the code from day one.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated test suite with 80%+ coverage
- OpenAPI or GraphQL schema documentation
- Docker containers for local development
- Deployment scripts for AWS or GCP
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Security audit report (OWASP Top 10)
- Admin dashboard with user management
- Postman collection or GraphQL playground
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend for a CRM startup

Real-time inventory sync engine for an ecommerce brand
Built an event-driven inventory service that syncs stock levels across Shopify, Amazon, and a physical warehouse. Reduced overselling incidents by 95%. Processes 10,000 updates per minute. Tech stack: Node.js, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, AWS Lambda.
MLS data ingestion pipeline for a real estate platform
Created an ETL pipeline that ingests listing data from 20+ MLS sources into a unified search API. Updated 500,000 listings daily with sub-5 minute latency. Tech stack: Python, Apache Airflow, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch.
Scalable notification engine for a social media app
Designed a microservice that sends push notifications, emails, and in-app alerts to 1 million users. Handles 50,000 notifications per second during peak hours. Tech stack: Go, Redis Pub/Sub, Firebase Cloud Messaging, AWS SQS.
Why teams hire us.
Senior engineers only, no juniors
Every engineer at IRPR has 8+ years of backend experience. We do not staff junior developers. Your project is built by people who have shipped production systems at scale.
Fixed price, not hourly
You get a fixed price after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. The price covers the full scope defined in the proposal.
8-12 week MVPs
Most backend systems ship in 8-12 weeks. We use proven architectures and modern tooling to move fast. 98% of our projects deliver on time.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
We have built HIPAA-compliant patient APIs, PCI-DSS payment services, and SOC 2-ready SaaS backends. Compliance is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.
Full code ownership
You own 100% of the source code from day one. No licensing fees, no lock-in. We put everything in your GitHub repo and give you admin access.
Production-grade monitoring and support
Every backend ships with Sentry error tracking, Datadog performance monitoring, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. We provide 2 weeks of post-release support.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
