Custom Backend Development TeamBackend Development
We build production-grade backends for web and mobile apps. 200+ products shipped in 50+ countries.
IRPR builds custom backend development teams for startups and mid-market companies. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS to design APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that handle millions of requests per day.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks for an MVP. Fixed pricing starts at $80K and goes to $250K depending on scope. We comply with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA standards.
Founders hire us when they need a backend that scales without rewriting. CTOs hire us to replace a stalled offshore team. Product managers hire us to ship a complex integration with Stripe, Salesforce, or Twilio.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless RESTful APIs with Express.js or FastAPI. Includes OpenAPI docs, rate limiting, and JWT auth.
GraphQL backend

We build for every business type.
SaaS companies
Ecommerce brands
Healthcare organizations
Fintech companies
Logistics and supply chain
Why a custom backend development team beats freelancers
A single freelancer can build a prototype. A team builds a production system that stays up at 3 AM.
IRPR assigns 3-5 senior engineers to every backend project. You get a tech lead, a backend engineer, a DevOps engineer, and a QA engineer. That team ships a complete backend with CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation in 8-12 weeks.
Freelancers often disappear or overcommit. IRPR has shipped 200+ products with a 98% on-time rate. Every project has a fixed price and a dedicated project manager who reports progress weekly.
How IRPR builds your custom backend
We follow a four-phase process that turns your idea into a deployed backend.
Phase 1 is the Idea call where we map your requirements to a tech stack. Phase 2 is the Roadmap where we produce a fixed-price quote and a 12-week timeline. Phase 3 is Product where we build and test. Phase 4 is Release where we deploy to production.
During the Roadmap phase (week 2), we deliver a detailed architecture document with database schema, API endpoints, and deployment plan. You approve the plan before any code is written.
- Bills by the hour with no cap
- Assigns junior developers to your project
- No architecture document before coding
- Uses a single tech stack for every client
- No monitoring or alerting setup
- Delivers code without tests
- Fixed price from the Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers only (7+ years experience)
- Architecture document approved before coding
- Chooses the best stack for your use case
- Sets up Sentry, Datadog, and PagerDuty
- Delivers with 90%+ test coverage
Our backend development process in 4 steps
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks. Here is exactly how we do it.
Every project starts with a 30-minute discovery call where we discuss your requirements, timeline, and budget. We then produce a Roadmap document that includes a fixed price and a 12-week timeline.
During the build phase, we work in 2-week sprints with demos at the end of each sprint. You see working code every 14 days. We deploy to a staging environment after sprint 2.
What ships with your custom backend
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default.
You get source code in your private GitHub repository, a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions, and a staging environment on AWS. We also set up error tracking with Sentry and performance monitoring with Datadog.
Documentation includes an OpenAPI spec for all endpoints, a database schema diagram, and a deployment runbook. You can hand the project to any internal team after we finish.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Staging environment on AWS EC2 or ECS
- Production deployment with auto-scaling
- Sentry error tracking and alerting
- Datadog performance monitoring dashboard
- OpenAPI 3.0 specification for all endpoints
- Database schema diagram (ERD)
- Deployment runbook with rollback steps
- 90%+ test coverage (unit + integration)
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend
Built a multi-tenant backend for a B2B SaaS platform using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Each tenant gets isolated data with row-level security. Reduced tenant onboarding time from 2 weeks to 2 days.
HIPAA-compliant patient portal
Developed a HIPAA-compliant backend for a telemedicine startup using Python, FastAPI, and AWS RDS. Handles PHI with encryption at rest and in transit. Passed HIPAA audit on first attempt.
Payment processing pipeline
Built a payment processing backend for a fintech company using Go, PostgreSQL, and Stripe Connect. Processes 10,000 transactions per hour with 99.99% uptime. Reduced failed transactions by 40%.
Real-time inventory system
Created a real-time inventory backend for an ecommerce brand using Node.js, WebSockets, and Redis. Updates inventory across 5 warehouses in under 200ms. Reduced overselling incidents by 95%.
Route optimization engine
Built a route optimization backend for a logistics company using Python, Google OR-Tools, and PostgreSQL. Optimizes 500 delivery routes per day. Reduced fuel costs by 18%.
Learning management system backend
Developed a backend for an edtech platform using Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS S3. Supports 50,000 concurrent users with video streaming and progress tracking. Reduced page load time by 60%.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior engineers only
Every engineer on your project has 7+ years of experience. No juniors, no interns, no offshore trainees. Our team averages 12 years of backend development experience.
8-12 week MVPs
We ship a production-ready backend in 8-12 weeks. That includes architecture, development, testing, deployment, and documentation. 98% of our projects ship on time.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and infrastructure after the project. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no recurring royalties. The code is yours to modify or extend.
Compliance built in
We build backends that comply with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA. Our team has passed 15+ compliance audits. We include encryption, audit logs, and access controls by default.
Production monitoring included
Every backend ships with Sentry error tracking, Datadog performance monitoring, and PagerDuty alerting. We monitor uptime, latency, and error rates for 30 days after launch.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
