Best Backend Web Development ConsultantsWeb Development
We build production-grade backend systems that handle millions of requests. No fluff, just code that ships in 12 weeks.
IRPR is a team of senior backend consultants who architect and build backend systems for web apps, APIs, microservices, and cloud infrastructure. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kubernetes every day.
Our consultancy delivers a production-ready backend in 12 weeks, with a fixed price of $80K to $250K depending on scope. Every project ships with CI/CD, automated testing, and cloud monitoring. We follow HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR where required.
Startups scaling their MVP hire us when they need a backend that won't crash at 10,000 users. SaaS founders use us to rebuild monolithic backends into microservices. Enterprise teams bring us in when their in-house team is swamped with API integrations and database performance.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Design and build RESTful APIs with OpenAPI 3.0 specs, rate limiting, and JWT authentication.
GraphQL API development
Build GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server, resolver optimization, and DataLoader for batching.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into microservices using Docker, Kubernetes, and message queues like RabbitMQ.
Serverless backend development
Create serverless backends with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Step Functions.
Backend database design
Design relational and NoSQL databases - PostgreSQL for transactions, MongoDB for flexible schemas.
Third-party API integration
Integrate Stripe, Twilio, Salesforce, HubSpot, and 100+ APIs with retry logic and webhook handling.
Backend security audit
Audit backend for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, implement encryption, rate limiting, and role-based access.
Cloud infrastructure consulting
Set up AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure with Terraform, auto-scaling, and zero-downtime deployments.
We build for every business type.
SaaS companies
Fintech startups
Healthcare platforms
Ecommerce brands
Enterprise teams
Why backend architecture matters
A poorly designed backend costs you time, money, and users.
When your database schema doesn't scale, every new feature takes twice as long. When your API has no caching, your cloud bill triples. When you skip automated testing, you push bug fixes every week instead of every quarter. These are the problems IRPR fixes before they happen.
We design backend systems around your data model, not the other way around. Our consultants choose between PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch based on your access patterns. We set up indexing strategies, query optimization, and connection pooling from day one.
How IRPR backend consulting is different
Most agencies write code that works today but breaks tomorrow. We don't.
The difference comes down to experience and process. Our consultants have shipped over 200 production backends, so we know which patterns work and which fail. We use monorepos, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code on every project.
You get a dedicated senior engineer who works in your timezone overlap hours. We communicate via Slack and Notion, not weekly status meetings. Every change is in version control, every deployment is automated, every error is logged.
- No API design review before coding
- No database indexing strategy
- No load testing before launch
- No CI/CD pipeline or just GitHub Actions copy-pasted
- No error monitoring setup
- No infrastructure cost optimization
- API design reviewed with OpenAPI contract
- Database schema optimized for query patterns
- Load testing with k6 or Artillery before launch
- Full CI/CD pipeline with ArgoCD or GitLab CI
- Sentry and Datadog monitoring configured
- AWS cost explorer analysis and auto-scaling rules
Our backend development process
We break every project into four phases so you know exactly what you get and when.
Phase one is the roadmap. In week 2, we deliver a fixed price quote and a detailed technical plan. Phase two is building the core backend - API endpoints, database, authentication. Phase three is hardening - load testing, security review, documentation.
Phase four is deployment and handover. We set up production infrastructure, CI/CD, and monitoring. You get full ownership of the code, the infrastructure scripts, and the documentation. No vendor lock-in.
What ships with every backend project
We include everything you need to run a production backend from day one.
Our delivery is not just source code. It's a fully operational backend with infrastructure, monitoring, and documentation. You can hand it to any dev team and they can be productive in hours, not weeks.
Every project ships with a README that explains how to set up the local environment, how to deploy, and how to troubleshoot common issues. We also provide Postman collections or GraphQL playgrounds for your API.
- Source code in your private GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Pulumi
- PostgreSQL or MongoDB schema with migrations
- OpenAPI 3.0 or GraphQL schema documentation
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog APM monitoring
- Automated unit and integration tests
- Load test scripts (k6 or Artillery)
- Docker Compose for local development
- One-page operations runbook
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS subscription backend

Healthcare API gateway
Designed a HIPAA-compliant API gateway that aggregates patient data from 3 EHR systems. Cut integration time from 6 months to 8 weeks. Stack: Python, FastAPI, HL7 FHIR, AWS Lambda.
Fintech payment processing
Built a PCI-DSS compliant payment processing backend that handles $2M in monthly transactions. Achieved 99.95% uptime over 18 months. Stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Stripe Connect, Redis.
Ecommerce inventory system
Developed a real-time inventory backend that syncs stock across 5 warehouses and 3 sales channels. Reduced overselling by 95%. Stack: Node.js, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Shopify API.
EdTech analytics platform
Created a backend for processing 500K student interaction events per day. Reduced report generation time from 2 hours to 4 minutes. Stack: Python, ClickHouse, Airflow, AWS ECS.
Real estate MLS integration
Built a backend that ingests MLS data from 15 regional databases and serves it via a unified API. Cut data latency from 24 hours to 15 minutes. Stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Terraform.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price from week 2
We give you a fixed price quote by the end of the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. If the scope changes, we tell you before we code.
Senior engineers only
Every consultant at IRPR has 10+ years of backend experience. No junior or offshore teams. You get a single experienced engineer who owns the entire backend delivery.
12-week delivery guarantee
We ship a production-ready backend in 12 weeks. 98% of our projects deliver on time. If we are late, you get a discount on the next phase.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code, every Dockerfile, and every Terraform script. No licenses, no subscriptions, no ongoing fees. We just hand it over.
Production monitoring included
We set up Sentry, Datadog, and PagerDuty on every project. You get real-time alerts and dashboards. We stay on for 2 weeks after launch to handle any issues.
Compliance out of the box
We build backends that pass HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR audits. Our consultants have done it 50+ times. We include compliance documentation in the delivery.
