Best Backend API Development TeamDevelopment Team
We build production-ready APIs that handle millions of requests. 8-12 week MVPs with fixed pricing and full code ownership.
IRPR builds backend APIs for startups and enterprises. We use Node.js, Python, Go, and Ruby on Rails to create REST, GraphQL, and gRPC endpoints that scale.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA compliance. You get full source code, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS or GCP infrastructure.
CTOs hire us to replace slow offshore teams. Product managers hire us to launch MVPs on schedule. Engineering leads hire us to build internal APIs that connect microservices. Founders hire us to build the backend for their next funding round.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Stateless endpoints for CRUD operations. Use Express.js or FastAPI with PostgreSQL or MongoDB.
GraphQL API Development
Single endpoint with flexible queries. Use Apollo Server or Yoga with TypeScript and Prisma.
gRPC API Development
High-performance binary protocol for microservices. Use protobuf with Go or C++ for low latency.
Webhook Integration API
Real-time event-driven endpoints that push data to Stripe, Slack, or HubSpot.
Third-Party API Wrapper
Abstraction layer over external APIs like Salesforce, Twilio, or Plaid. Adds caching, rate limiting, and error handling.
Internal Microservice API
APIs that connect services within your infrastructure. Use message queues like RabbitMQ or Kafka.
API Gateway and Proxy
Single entry point for multiple services. Use Kong or AWS API Gateway with auth and logging.
Real-Time API with WebSockets
Bidirectional communication for chat, live dashboards, and notifications. Use Socket.IO or WebSocket with Redis.
We build for every business type.
SaaS and enterprise
Fintech
Healthcare
Ecommerce and retail
Logistics and travel
Why you need the best backend API development team
A poorly built API costs you time, money, and customers.
IRPR has shipped over 200 backend APIs for clients in 50 countries. Our senior engineers write code that handles 10,000 requests per second with 99.9% uptime. We use Node.js, Python, Go, and Ruby on Rails depending on your use case.
Every API we build includes automated tests, rate limiting, authentication, and documentation. We deploy to AWS or GCP with CI/CD pipelines that run linting, security scans, and integration tests on every commit.
Generic dev shops vs the best backend API development team
Not all teams deliver the same quality.
Many agencies promise fast delivery but ship untested code with no documentation. They use hourly billing and scope creep to increase costs. They hand over code that breaks under load.
IRPR delivers production-ready APIs with full test coverage, OpenAPI documentation, and deployment scripts. We fix the price in week 2 and never charge extra for scope changes within the agreed roadmap.
- hourly billing with no cap
- no automated tests
- no CI/CD pipeline
- no rate limiting or auth
- handover of messy code
- slow response to issues
- fixed price from week 2
- 95%+ test coverage
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- built-in auth and rate limiting
- clean code in your repo
- 24-hour response SLA
How we build your backend API in 4 phases
Our process removes guesswork and delivers on time.
We start with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define endpoints, data models, and infrastructure. You get a fixed price and a detailed plan before we write a single line of code.
Then we build your API in 6-8 weeks with weekly demos. You see progress every Friday. We deploy to staging and production with zero downtime.
What ships with every backend API
You get more than just endpoints.
Every API includes authentication, rate limiting, logging, and error handling. We use JWT or OAuth2 for auth, Redis for rate limiting, and Sentry for error tracking.
We also provide Postman collections, OpenAPI (Swagger) docs, and a deployment guide. Your team can start integrating within hours of handover.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- OpenAPI 3.0 documentation
- Postman collection with examples
- JWT or OAuth2 authentication
- Rate limiting with Redis
- Error tracking with Sentry
- Logging with CloudWatch or DataDog
- Load testing results (k6 or Artillery)
- Deployment scripts for AWS or GCP
What we ship in this practice.
