Best Scalable Backend Development TeamBackend Development
We build backend systems that handle 10x traffic without breaking. Fixed price, senior engineers only, 8-12 week MVPs.
IRPR builds backend systems using Node.js, Go, or Python with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kubernetes. We design for horizontal scaling from day one.
Projects ship in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price ranging from $80K to $250K. We handle everything from API design to CI/CD pipelines and monitoring.
Founders scaling their SaaS from 1K to 100K users, CTOs migrating from monoliths to microservices, and product managers needing a backend that handles PCI-DSS or HIPAA compliance hire us.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build stateless REST APIs with Express or Fastify. Includes rate limiting, caching, and auto-scaling.
GraphQL Backend
GraphQL APIs using Apollo or Hasura. Handles complex queries with DataLoader batching.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose monolithic apps into microservices with Docker and Kubernetes. Service mesh with Istio.
Real-Time Backend

Why a scalable backend matters for growth
Your backend needs to handle spikes without crashing or slowing down.
A backend that cannot scale kills your product when traffic hits. We have shipped 200+ backend systems that serve millions of requests daily. Our infrastructure handles 99.9% uptime with auto-scaling policies.
We use Kubernetes and Terraform to deploy across AWS and GCP. Load testing is baked into every project. We guarantee 98% on-time delivery for every milestone.
How we differ from generic dev shops
Most backend teams deliver code that works today but fails tomorrow.
Generic dev shops often lack deep cloud and scaling expertise. They build monolithic structures that are hard to scale. IRPR designs for scale from day one with microservices and containerization.
We use fixed-price contracts and 2-week sprints. You own the code and infrastructure. Our senior engineers average 10+ years of backend experience.
- Monolithic architecture
- No load testing
- Manual scaling
- Unclear ownership
- Hourly billing
- Junior devs
- Microservices by default
- Load testing every sprint
- Auto-scaling with K8s
- Full code ownership
- Fixed price
- Senior engineers only
Our 4-phase process for backend scalability
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks.
Every backend project follows a structured process that eliminates guesswork. We start with a roadmap phase where we define architecture, database schema, and scaling strategy.
After the roadmap, we build in 2-week sprints with continuous deployment. The final phase is stress testing and production handover.
What ships with every scalable backend
Every project includes these deliverables in your repo.
No hidden items. Everything in the list is included in the fixed price. We transfer all infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- PostgreSQL database with migration scripts
- Redis caching layer for high throughput
- Docker Compose and Kubernetes manifests
- Load testing reports from k6
- Swagger or OpenAPI documentation
- Monitoring with Sentry and Datadog
- Runbook for deployment and scaling
- Postman collection for all endpoints
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time analytics dashboard for a martech SaaS

Multi-tenant booking platform for a hospitality startup
Designed a PostgreSQL sharded backend with microservices for inventory and payments. Handles 100K bookings per day across 500 properties. Tech: Go, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Terraform.
Healthcare patient portal backend
HIPAA-compliant backend with FHIR API and encrypted storage. Scaled to support 1M patient records with sub-200ms response times. Tech: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS KMS.
Ecommerce checkout backend for a fashion brand
Refactored a monolithic PHP backend into a microservices architecture with event sourcing. Cut checkout time by 40% and handles Black Friday spikes. Tech: Node.js, Kafka, Redis, Stripe.
Fintech payment processing backend
Built a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway with idempotency and retry logic. Processes 10K transactions per minute with 99.99% uptime. Tech: Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS.
Manufacturing IoT backend for real-time machine monitoring
Developed a backend that ingests 1M sensor readings per minute and triggers alerts. Reduced downtime by 30% using predictive maintenance models. Tech: Python, Kafka, InfluxDB, MQTT.
Why teams hire us.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of backend experience. No juniors, no contractors. You work directly with the engineers building your system.
Fixed price per project
Every backend project gets a fixed quote after the roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You know the cost upfront.
Full code ownership
All source code, infrastructure config, and documentation are in your repo from day one. We never hold code hostage. You can deploy without us.
Load tested to 10x capacity
We stress test every backend to handle 10x your expected traffic. We use k6 and Artillery to simulate spikes and tune scaling policies.
98% on-time delivery
We ship on time 98% of the time across 200+ projects. Our 2-week sprint cycle with daily standups keeps everything on track.
Compliance ready
We build backends that pass HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA audits. Our infrastructure follows cloud security best practices from day one.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
