Custom Backend Development CompanyBackend Development
We deliver APIs and microservices in 12 weeks. Fixed price, no scope creep, full code ownership.
IRPR builds custom backend systems using Node.js, Python, Go, and serverless frameworks like AWS Lambda and Cloudflare Workers. We design APIs, event-driven architectures, and microservices that scale from day one.
Most backend MVPs ship in 12 weeks. Pricing for a typical project ranges from $80K to $250K. We comply with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards, so your data stays secure and compliant.
Startups needing an MVP API, SaaS companies scaling microservices, enterprises migrating legacy backends, and ecommerce platforms requiring real-time data pipelines all hire IRPR. Each gets a fixed price and a senior engineer from week one.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build stateless APIs with authentication, rate limiting, and OpenAPI docs. We use Django REST, Express.js, or FastAPI.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose monoliths into independent services with Docker, Kubernetes, and message queues like RabbitMQ or Kafka.
Serverless Backend
Go serverless with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Pay only for execution, scale automatically.
GraphQL API
Build flexible GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server and Prisma. Enable clients to query exactly what they need.
Database Design & Optimization
Design normalized schemas in PostgreSQL or MySQL, optimize queries, and implement caching with Redis or Memcached.
Event-Driven Backend
Use Kafka, SQS, or EventBridge to build async workflows. Process orders, notifications, and analytics in real time.
Backend for Mobile Apps
Power iOS and Android apps with push notifications, file uploads, and real-time sync via Firebase or WebSockets.
BaaS (Backend as a Service)
We clone and extend BaaS tools like Parse or Supabase. Custom user auth, storage, and serverless functions included.
We build for every business type.

Why choose a custom backend development company like IRPR
Pre-built backends hit limits fast. Custom code gives you full control over performance, security, and cost.
Off-the-shelf solutions lock you into their pricing and features. A custom backend built with Node.js or Python lets you optimize every query and choose your own hosting.
IRPR delivers your backend with automated CI/CD pipelines, error tracking via Sentry, and monitoring dashboards. You keep the source code from day one.
The difference between generic dev shops and IRPR
Most agencies quote hourly rates and shift people around. IRPR gives you a fixed price and the same senior team start to finish.
Generic shops often assign junior developers after the sale. IRPR assigns a senior engineer who stays on your project for the entire engagement.
You get a clear roadmap after 2 weeks, a fixed price, and weekly demos. No billing surprises, no handoffs, no ghosting.
- Hourly billing (budget balloons)
- Junior devs after the contract signs
- No fixed scope – constant scope creep
- Code stored in the agency's repo
- No compliance audits (HIPAA, SOC 2)
- Average delivery time of 6+ months
- Fixed price from week 2
- One senior engineer, same person throughout
- Scope defined in a 2-week Roadmap phase
- Source code in your repo immediately
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 built in
- 8-12 weeks to a production-ready MVP
How we build your custom backend in 3 phases
We follow a repeatable process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. The backend work happens inside the Product phase.
Phase 1 (Idea & Roadmap): We validate your requirements and define the API contract. This takes 2 weeks and costs a fixed $8K.
Phase 2 (Product): We build the backend in 6-10 weeks. You see working endpoints every week. Phase 3 (Release): We deploy to production, set up monitoring, and hand over all credentials.

You are never locked into IRPR. The code, the infrastructure-as-code templates, and the monitoring stack all belong to you. We just build it.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- Production AWS or GCP infrastructure via Terraform
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Load test results using k6
- Security audit report
- Admin dashboard (basic UI for data management)
- SLA with 99.9% uptime guarantee
- 2-week free post-launch support

Full ownership of code and infrastructure
You own the source code, the CI/CD pipeline, and the cloud accounts from day one. You can walk away at any time with everything.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
We bake HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 controls into the architecture. No separate compliance project, no extra cost.
Weekly demos and slack communication
You see working backend endpoints every Friday. You talk directly to the engineer on Slack. No account managers, no delays.
