Backend Web Development ConsultantsDevelopment Consultants
We build server-side systems that scale to millions of users. Skip the architecture guesswork and get a production-ready backend in 8-12 weeks.
IRPR backend web development consultants build server-side systems with Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI), Go, or Rust. We design databases in PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB, and deploy on AWS, GCP, or Azure with CI/CD pipelines and monitoring stacks like Sentry and DataDog.
Each project is delivered in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price ranging from $80,000 to $250,000 depending on complexity. All systems meet compliance requirements like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or FERPA. We ship source code, infrastructure-as-code, and runbooks as part of every engagement.
Founders who need a technical co-founder for their SaaS, CTOs who want to scale an existing backend without hiring a new team, and product heads who need a PCI-compliant payment API all hire us. We also work with non-technical CEOs who need a complete backend designed and built from scratch.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build HTTP APIs with Node.js or Python, using Express or FastAPI. Includes OpenAPI docs, rate limiting, and JWT auth.
GraphQL API development
Ship GraphQL endpoints with Apollo Server or Hasura. Includes schema-first design, realtime subscriptions, and federated gateway.
database schema design
Design normalized or denormalized databases in PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB. Includes migration scripts and query optimization.
microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into containerized microservices on Kubernetes or ECS. Each service has its own database and API boundary.
real-time data pipelines
Build streaming pipelines with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS Kinesis. Processes millions of events per day into data warehouses.
authentication and authorization
Implement OAuth 2.0, SAML, or OpenID Connect with Auth0 or Okta. Includes RBAC, MFA, and session management.
serverless backend
Build event-driven backends on AWS Lambda or GCP Cloud Functions. Uses DynamoDB or Firestore for state, API Gateway for routing.
payment system backend
Integrate Stripe, Braintree, or Adyen for subscription billing, invoicing, and payout splitting. PCI-compliant from day one.
We build for every business type.
SaaS startups
ecommerce brands
healthcare organizations
fintech companies
media and content platforms
What backend web development consultants actually deliver
Here are the metrics that matter when you hire backend consultants.
IRPR backend consultants have shipped over 200 products in 50+ countries. Every project completes on time within a fixed budget. We track uptime, response times, and error rates for every deployment.
Our teams are all senior engineers with 10+ years of experience. We use opinionated stacks (Node.js, Go, Python) to avoid analysis paralysis and ship faster.
Generic backend agency vs IRPR backend consultants
Not all backend agencies ship production-ready systems. Here is the difference.
Many agencies hand off code with no documentation, no test coverage, and no runbooks. You are left maintaining a system you did not build.
IRPR delivers complete systems with automated tests, CI/CD, monitoring, and runbooks. Your team can take over in a week.
- hires junior or offshore engineers
- no written architecture decision records
- no monitoring or alerting setup
- code delivered without tests
- no staging environment
- unclear timeline and budget overruns
- all senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- architecture decision records (ADRs) in repo
- Sentry error tracking + Datadog monitoring
- unit + integration + e2e tests in pipeline
- staging environment auto-deployed on every merge
- fixed price and 8-12 week timeline guaranteed
Our backend development consulting process
We follow a four-phase process that starts with your idea and ends with a deployed system.
Phase 1 (Idea) is a free discovery call where we scope your backend requirements. Phase 2 (Roadmap) takes 1 week and produces a fixed price quote, architecture diagram, and timeline.
Phase 3 (Product) is the build phase: we ship working increments every 2 weeks. Phase 4 (Release) deploys to production, sets up monitoring, and transfers ownership.
What ships with every backend engagement
Every project includes these deliverables as part of the fixed price.
Our backend consultants treat your code as production software from day one. No tech debt, no shortcuts.
You get a fully documented, tested, and monitored system that your team can maintain without us.
- Source code in your private GitHub repository
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with test + deploy stages
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog performance monitoring
- Unit test suite with 80%+ code coverage
- API documentation generated from OpenAPI spec
- Architecture decision records for every major choice
- Database migration scripts with rollback support
- Staging environment with auto-deploy on pull requests
- Runbook for incident response and scaling
- Fixed price contract with no hourly billing

Production monitoring included
We configure Sentry, DataDog, and PagerDuty as part of every engagement. You get alerts on failure before your users do.
HIPAA and PCI compliance out of the box
We build for compliance from day one. Our backend consultants know encryption at rest, audit logging, and access controls for regulated industries.
Source code ownership
You own the full source code, infrastructure-as-code, and all documentation. No licensing, no vendor lock-in, no monthly fees.
98% on-time delivery
We track delivery against timeline in every sprint. If we are behind, we add engineers at no extra cost to stay on schedule.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
