Custom Backend Development ConsultantsBackend Development
We build APIs, microservices, and data pipelines for your product. Ship a production-ready backend in 12 weeks with a fixed price.
IRPR builds custom backends for startups and enterprises. We use Node.js, Go, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and Kubernetes. Every backend is designed for scalability, security, and maintainability.
A typical backend project ships in 12-14 weeks with a fixed price range of $80K to $250K. We handle compliance: HIPAA for healthcare, PCI-DSS for fintech, and SOC 2 for SaaS. You get source code ownership and CI/CD pipelines.
Our clients are CTOs at Series A startups who need infrastructure for rapid scaling, product managers building multi-tenant SaaS platforms, founders launching MVPs with complex backend logic, and enterprise architects migrating legacy systems to the cloud.
Types of software we ship.
API Development
Design RESTful and GraphQL APIs with rate limiting, caching (Redis), and OpenAPI documentation. Integrated with Stripe, Twilio, and Auth0.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose monoliths into decoupled services using Docker and Kubernetes. Message queues (RabbitMQ) enable async communication.
Database Design & Migration
Schema design, indexing, and zero-downtime migrations for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Amazon Aurora. Handles 2TB+ datasets.
Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/GCP)
Infrastructure as code with Terraform. Automated deployments with GitHub Actions. Includes monitoring via CloudWatch and Sentry.
Real-time Systems
WebSocket servers built with Socket.io or Phoenix Channels. Supports live dashboards, chat, and collaborative editing with sub-100ms latency.
Data Pipelines & ETL
Build ETL/ELT pipelines using Apache Kafka and Airflow. Process 10k events/sec with exactly-once semantics.
Authentication & Authorization
OAuth2, JWT, and RBAC systems integrated with Auth0 or Okta. Supports SAML for enterprise SSO.
Performance Optimization
Query tuning, Redis caching layers, CDN setup (CloudFront). Reduce API response times by 60% or more.
We build for every business type.
Healthcare
Fintech
Ecommerce
SaaS
Enterprise
Backend development metrics that matter
We measure everything we ship.
Our custom backend development consultancy has shipped 200+ products across 50 countries. The average timeline from kickoff to production deploy is 12 weeks.
We maintain a 98% on-time delivery rate. Our backends achieve 99.9% uptime because we build with infrastructure as code and proactive monitoring from day one.
IRPR vs generic development agencies
Most backend projects fail due to unclear specifications and scope creep.
Generic dev shops often start coding without a proper roadmap. They bill by the hour and deliver incomplete systems with heavy technical debt.
IRPR provides a fixed quote after a two-week Roadmap phase. We write clean, documented code and hand over full ownership with CI/CD pipelines.
- Vague timelines and milestones
- Hourly billing that inflates costs
- No source code ownership guarantee
- Accumulates technical debt
- Over-engineered for small requirements
- No DevOps or monitoring setup
- Fixed price from week 2
- Source code in your repo from day one
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking included
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform)
- Documented APIs with OpenAPI spec
Our backend development process
From idea to production in 12 weeks.
We follow the Idea - Roadmap - Product - Release framework. Each phase has clear deliverables and checkpoints.
Sprints run in one-week cycles with daily standups and weekly demos. You see working software every Friday.
What ships with your backend
Every project includes these deliverables by default.
You get everything needed to run and maintain the backend independently. No hidden handoffs or missing pieces.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Dockerized application with docker-compose
- Terraform scripts for AWS or GCP infrastructure
- Sentry error tracking with alerts
- CloudWatch or Prometheus monitoring dashboard
- OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation for all endpoints
- Load testing report with k6 or Locust
- PostgreSQL database with migrations and seed data
- 99.9% uptime SLA guarantee
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time analytics dashboard backend
Built a streaming data pipeline that processes 10,000 events per second with sub-100ms latency. Tech: Apache Kafka, Go, PostgreSQL. Reduced dashboard load time by 80%.
HIPAA-compliant patient portal API
Designed a secure backend with audit logging and PHI encryption. Reduced compliance audit preparation time by 40%. Tech: Node.js, MongoDB, Auth0.
Multi-tenant SaaS billing system
Developed a metered billing API handling 50,000 active subscriptions with Stripe integration. Automated invoicing saved client 20 hours per week. Tech: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Stripe.
Inventory management microservices
Decomposed a monolithic inventory system into 12 microservices. Deployment time dropped from 60 minutes to 5 minutes. Tech: Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ.
KYC/AML identity verification API
Built a compliance API that verifies 500+ documents per day with 99% accuracy. Integrated with Plaid and Onfido. Tech: Python, Django, Celery.
Legacy CRM migration backend
Migrated 2TB of data from on-prem SQL Server to Amazon Aurora with zero downtime. Cut monthly infrastructure costs by 35%. Tech: AWS DMS, PostgreSQL, Terraform.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. Clients save 30% on average compared to hourly shops.
Full code ownership
You own the source code from day one. It lives in your GitHub repo with full commit history. IRPR never holds code hostage.
Senior engineers only
Our team consists of engineers with 10+ years of experience on average. No junior developers. Each engineer leads their own module.
12-week delivery guarantee
Our framework is designed for speed. 98% of projects ship within 12-14 weeks. We communicate timeline risks transparently.
Compliance by default
We build to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards out of the box. Security reviews and pen testing are included in every engagement.
Post-launch support included
After release, we provide 4 weeks of hypercare with on-call support. Then you can choose monthly maintenance or independent operation.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
