experienced backend web development consultantsbackend web
We build backend systems that scale. You get a dedicated team of senior engineers, a fixed price, and a working product in 12 weeks.
IRPR provides experienced backend web development consultants who build production-ready systems using Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby on Rails, and Java. We design RESTful and GraphQL APIs, manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure, and optimize database performance with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.
Every engagement starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase to define architecture, endpoints, and data models. Fixed pricing for the full build: $80K to $250K depending on complexity. Delivery in 8-12 weeks. All code is owned by you, and we include CI/CD pipelines, error monitoring with Sentry, and 99.9% uptime SLAs.
Founders who need a scalable MVP before fundraising hire us. CTOs who want to offload backend architecture and focus on frontend hire us. Engineering managers who need senior talent for a critical project hire us. Each gets a dedicated team of 2-4 senior engineers, weekly demos, and a clear timeline.

What experienced backend web development consultants actually do
Our consultants don't just write code. They design systems that handle millions of requests, keep data secure, and scale without rewrites.
IRPR's backend consultants start every project with a 2-week Roadmap. They map out the data model, API endpoints, authentication strategy, and cloud infrastructure. You get a detailed document with architecture diagrams, cost estimates, and a fixed price for the full build. No guesswork, no hidden fees.
During development, the team works in 2-week sprints with daily standups and weekly demos. Every sprint ends with a deployable increment. By week 12, you have a production-ready backend with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and full documentation. The code is in your GitHub repo from day one.
Generic dev shops vs experienced backend consultants
Not all backend consultants are equal. Here is how IRPR's experienced backend web development consultants differ from generic dev shops.
Generic dev shops often assign junior developers to backend work. They use boilerplate code, skip load testing, and hand over a system that crashes under real traffic. IRPR assigns senior engineers only - each with 8+ years of experience. We design for scale from day one.
We also fix pricing. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. After the Roadmap phase, you get a fixed quote for the entire project. If requirements change, we adjust scope transparently. You never pay for discovery or rework.
- Junior developers on your project
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No architecture document upfront
- No load testing or performance tuning
- Code delivered without CI/CD or monitoring
- No post-launch support or SLAs
- Senior engineers only (8+ years average)
- Fixed price after 2-week Roadmap
- Detailed architecture document before build
- Load testing with k6 and performance optimization
- CI/CD pipeline, Sentry error tracking, Datadog monitoring
- 99.9% uptime SLA and 30-day post-launch support
How our backend consulting process works
From idea to production in 12 weeks. Here are the phases of every IRPR backend engagement.
Phase 1: Roadmap (weeks 1-2). We interview stakeholders, define data models, design API endpoints, and select the tech stack. You get a document with architecture diagrams, cost estimates, and a fixed price.
Phase 2: Build (weeks 3-10). The team implements the backend in 2-week sprints. Each sprint includes code review, testing, and deployment to a staging environment. Weekly demos let you see progress.
Phase 3: Release (weeks 11-12). We run load tests, fix any bottlenecks, and deploy to production. You get monitoring dashboards, runbooks, and a handover session. The team stays on standby for 30 days.
What ships with every backend project
Every IRPR backend engagement includes these deliverables by default. No add-ons, no upsells.
You get production-ready code, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring tools. All configured and documented. Your team can take over maintenance immediately.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated test suite with Jest, Mocha, or PyTest
- API documentation via Swagger or Postman
- Cloud infrastructure as code with Terraform or Pulumi
- Error monitoring with Sentry or Rollbar
- Performance monitoring with Datadog or New Relic
- Load testing report from k6 or Artillery
- Deployment runbook and architecture diagram
- 30 days of post-launch support and bug fixes

Every IRPR consultant has 8+ years of backend experience. We never staff juniors on client projects. You get a team that can design and debug complex systems from day one.
Fixed price, not hourly
After the 2-week Roadmap phase, you get a fixed quote for the entire project. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. If scope changes, we adjust transparently.
Production-ready in 12 weeks
We ship a working backend in 8-12 weeks. Every sprint ends with a deployable increment. By week 12, you have CI/CD, monitoring, and full documentation.
You own all the code
All source code, infrastructure scripts, and documentation are yours. We put everything in your GitHub repo from day one. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR compliant backends. Our team has completed 30+ compliance audits. We include encryption, audit logging, and access controls by default.
