Experienced Custom Backend Development StudioBackend Development
We build scalable backends for your product. Fixed price, senior-only team, 12-week delivery.
IRPR builds custom backend systems for web and mobile apps using Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS/GCP/Azure. We design APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that handle millions of requests per day.
We deliver production-ready backends in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing from $80K to $250K. All projects meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 compliance from the first commit.
CTOs at funded startups need a backend they can scale. Product managers want to ship their MVP without tech debt. Enterprise architects require systems that integrate with legacy infrastructure. Non-technical founders need a partner who handles all backend decisions.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build RESTful APIs with Express.js or FastAPI. Integrate with Stripe, Twilio, or Salesforce. Include Swagger documentation.
GraphQL API Development
Implement GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Hasura. Enable client-driven queries and reduce over-fetching.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose monoliths into microservices using Docker and Kubernetes. Use RabbitMQ or Kafka for messaging.
Real-time Backend Systems
Build real-time backends with WebSockets or Server-Sent Events. Power live chat, notifications, and dashboards.
Database Design and Optimization
Design normalized PostgreSQL or MongoDB schemas. Optimize queries, add indexing, and set up replication.
Serverless Backend
Build serverless backends with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Pay per execution, scale automatically.
Backend for Mobile Applications
Create mobile backends with Firebase or custom Node.js. Include push notifications, offline sync, and auth.
Ecommerce Backend Systems
Build ecommerce backends handling product catalog, checkout, payments (Stripe, PayPal), and inventory.
We build for every business type.

What an experienced custom backend development studio delivers
IRPR ships production backends that stay online and scale without rewrites.
Our team has shipped over 200 custom backends across 50 countries. Each one uses modern tech like Node.js, Go, and PostgreSQL with automated CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native infrastructure.
We test for load, security, and compliance before launch. Our backends handle 99.9% uptime and scale to handle 10x traffic without code changes. Every project includes monitoring with Sentry, Datadog, or New Relic.
Generic dev shop vs experienced custom backend development studio
Not all backend developers are the same. Here is what you avoid with IRPR.
Generic dev shops often assign junior developers, charge hourly, and deliver code with no tests or docs. They push back on compliance requirements and hand over code you cannot run.
IRPR works differently. You get a fixed price, senior engineers only, and code that runs in your own cloud account. We deliver production-ready backends with full documentation and automated deployments.
- Unclear estimates that change weekly
- Junior developers learning on your project
- No compliance knowledge (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2)
- Code owned by the agency, not you
- No post-launch support without retainer
- Slow email-only communication
- Fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase
- Senior developers with 10+ years each
- Compliance built in from day one
- Full source code and infrastructure as code
- 30 days free post-launch support
- Daily async updates with US overlap hours
Our process for building your custom backend
IRPR uses a four-phase process to go from idea to production in 8-12 weeks.
Every project starts with a 1-week discovery call where we map your requirements and constraints. We then enter a 1-week Roadmap phase where we deliver a fixed quote, timeline, and tech stack.
The Build phase runs 6-10 weeks with weekly demos and code reviews. The Release phase includes load testing, security audit, and deployment to your own cloud account.
Every backend ships with these deliverables
You own everything. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in.
IRPR gives you full control over your backend. Every project includes a complete set of artifacts so your team can maintain and extend the system without us.
- Source code in your private repository (GitHub/GitLab)
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Docker containers and docker-compose for local dev
- API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI or GraphQL schema)
- Postman collection for manual testing
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- PagerDuty or Opsgenie alerting on failures
- Load testing report (k6 or Artillery results)
- Deployment guide with architecture diagrams
- Compliance evidence (HIPAA BA, PCI Attestation, SOC 2 report)
What we ship in this practice.
Healthcare API Gateway
Built a HIPAA-compliant API gateway for a telemedicine platform. Reduced auth latency by 40% using Redis caching and JWT. Tech: Node.js, Express, Redis, Docker.
Real-time Inventory System
Developed a WebSocket-based inventory system for a retail chain. Cut sync time from 5 minutes to 2 seconds. Tech: Go, WebSockets, MongoDB.
Payment Orchestration Layer
Designed a PCI-DSS compliant payment orchestration layer for a fintech startup. Handled 10,000 transactions/hour with 99.9% uptime. Tech: Python, Stripe, AWS Lambda.
B2B Integration Hub
Created a microservice hub for a logistics company integrating with 12 carriers. Reduced manual data entry by 8 hours/week. Tech: Node.js, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL.
Ecommerce Checkout Backend
Built a scalable checkout backend for an online retailer. Supported 500 concurrent users with zero downtime during Black Friday. Tech: Django, Redis, Celery.
SaaS Multi-tenant Database
Implemented a multi-tenant PostgreSQL architecture for a SaaS platform. Reduced per-customer database cost by 60%. Tech: Postgres, Go, Kubernetes.
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.
Senior-only engineers
Every engineer on your project has 10+ years of experience. No junior developers, no outsourcing, no training costs.
Compliance by default
We build every backend with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 compliance from day one. No costly retrofits later.
Code ownership
You get full source code, database schemas, and infrastructure as code. Your code runs in your cloud account, not ours.
12-week delivery
We deliver production-ready backends in 8-12 weeks. Our fixed process ensures no delays, no missed deadlines.
Post-launch support
We provide 30 days of free post-launch support. After that, you own the code and can maintain it yourself or extend our team.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
