Why You Need a Custom Backend Development Vendor
A generic dev shop delivers generic backend code. IRPR builds backends that scale, comply, and ship on time.
Most backend development vendors use a one-size-fits-all approach. They reuse boilerplate, skip monitoring, and ignore compliance. That works for simple apps but fails when you need PCI-DSS or SOC 2 certification.
IRPR treats every backend as a custom product. We start with a detailed Roadmap phase where we define the data model, API contracts, and deployment strategy. Our senior engineers write every line of code. You get full ownership of the source code and a CI/CD pipeline from day one.
Generic Dev Shop vs Custom Backend Development Vendor
The difference between a commodity backend and a platform you can scale on is the vendor you choose.
Hiring a generic backend development vendor often leads to technical debt, missed compliance, and unclear ownership. They use junior developers, copy patterns from open source, and deploy without monitoring.
IRPR assigns a senior engineer as lead architect. Every backend is built with a specific compliance target (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2) and includes automated tests, Sentry error tracking, and Datadog monitoring.
- Junior developers writing most code
- No compliance planning until audit
- Hourly billing with scope creep
- No CI/CD or monitoring setup
- Code ownership unclear
- Average 16+ week delivery
- Senior engineers only (10+ years experience)
- Compliance built into the Roadmap (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2)
- Fixed price from the start
- CI/CD on GitHub Actions, Datadog monitoring
- Full code ownership in your repo
- 8-12 week delivery for MVP
How We Build Your Custom Backend: Our Process
Four phases from idea to production. No waterfall. No surprises.
Our process is designed to de-risk backend development. We start with a short discovery call, then move to a structured Roadmap phase. By the end of week 2, you have a detailed plan and a fixed price.
We then build the backend in 6-10 weeks, deploying to staging as we go. The final Release phase includes load testing, security audit, and production launch.
What Ships When You Hire IRPR as Your Backend Vendor
Everything your team needs to operate, maintain, and scale the backend.
You get more than just code. Every project includes infrastructure as code, monitoring dashboards, and documentation. No hand-off gaps.
We also provide a post-launch support period of 4 weeks to ensure your team can run the backend independently.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- PostgreSQL database schema with migrations
- Sentry error tracking configured
- Datadog monitoring dashboard for API latency and error rates
- API documentation in OpenAPI/Swagger format
- Infrastructure as code in Terraform or Pulumi
- Load test results using k6
- Security compliance checklist (HIPAA/PCI/SOC 2)
- Hand-off runbooks for your DevOps team
What we ship in this practice.
Payment Processing Backend for Fintech

HIPAA-Compliant Patient Data Backend
Developed a backend for a telemedicine platform with end-to-end encryption and audit logs. Used Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Achieved HIPAA compliance in 10 weeks.
Multi-Tenant SaaS Backend for Analytics
Built a backend supporting 200 tenants with row-level security in PostgreSQL. Integrated with Auth0 and Stripe. Cut tenant onboarding time from 2 days to 10 minutes.
Ecommerce Inventory Backend with Real-Time Sync
Designed a backend that syncs inventory across 3 warehouses and 2 Shopify stores using AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. Reduced overselling incidents by 90%.
Data Pipeline Backend for Media Analytics
Built a data processing pipeline ingesting 5 million events per day. Used Apache Kafka, Spark, and Snowflake. Reduced reporting latency from 12 hours to 15 minutes.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly billing
Every project gets a fixed quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. 98% of our projects finish on budget.
Senior engineers only
Our team average is 12 years of experience. Every engineer has shipped at least one production backend handling 100,000+ requests per day. No junior developers.
Compliance built into the architecture
We don't bolt on compliance later. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 -- we design the data model and infrastructure with those requirements from the first commit.
2-week kickoff to get started
We begin the discovery call within 3 business days. The Roadmap phase takes 2 weeks. After that, we start building. No long sales cycles.
Full code ownership
You own the entire codebase from day one. We put all code in your GitHub repository. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in.
Post-launch support included
Every engagement includes 4 weeks of post-launch support. We fix any issues, answer questions, and hand over runbooks so your team can run the backend independently.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
