Experienced Node.js API Development StudioAPI Development
We build production-grade Node.js APIs for startups and enterprises. 200+ products shipped, 50+ countries, 8-12 week timelines.
IRPR is an experienced Node.js API development studio. We design and build REST APIs, GraphQL backends, and microservices using Express, Fastify, Apollo, and NestJS. Every API ships with automated testing, rate limiting, and CI/CD pipelines.
A typical Node.js API project takes 8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to deployment. Fixed pricing starts at $80K and goes up to $250K depending on complexity. We handle PCI-DSS for fintech, HIPAA for healthcare, and SOC 2 for SaaS clients.
Our clients include CTOs who need a scalable backend for their SaaS, product managers launching a mobile app that requires a real-time API, founders building an MVP for investor demo day, and enterprise architects migrating monolithic services to Node.js microservices.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build RESTful APIs with Express or Fastify. Includes JWT auth, Swagger docs, and PostgreSQL or MongoDB integration.
GraphQL API Development
Build GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Yoga. Supports subscriptions, federation, and real-time data with Redis pub/sub.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose monoliths into Node.js microservices with message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka) and Docker orchestration.
Real-Time API (WebSocket)
Build real-time APIs using Socket.IO or WebSocket for chat, live notifications, and collaborative editing.
Third-Party API Integration
Integrate Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, Salesforce, or HubSpot APIs into your Node.js backend with retry logic and webhooks.
API Gateway & BFF
Build a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) or API gateway using Express Gateway or Kong to unify multiple services.
Serverless API (Lambda)
Deploy Node.js APIs on AWS Lambda or Vercel with serverless framework. Auto-scaling, pay-per-use, zero server management.
Admin Dashboard API
Build a dedicated admin API for internal tools with role-based access, audit logs, and data export to CSV or PDF.
We build for every business type.

Why choose an experienced Node.js API development studio
A generic freelancer can write code. A studio ships production-grade APIs with compliance, monitoring, and documentation.
IRPR has shipped over 200 Node.js APIs across fintech, healthcare, and SaaS. Every API includes automated unit tests with Jest, integration tests with Supertest, and API documentation via Swagger or GraphQL Playground. We deploy on AWS ECS or Kubernetes with auto-scaling and CloudWatch alerts.
We use a fixed-price model based on a detailed Roadmap phase (week 2). That means you know the exact cost before we write a single line of code. No hourly billing surprises. Average project timeline is 10 weeks for a REST API with 20 endpoints and PostgreSQL.
The difference between a generic dev shop and IRPR
Most dev shops bill by the hour and deliver incomplete code. IRPR ships a production-ready API with full ownership.
Generic shops often skip testing, documentation, and deployment scripts. You end up with a codebase that no one can maintain. IRPR treats every API as a product: it ships with CI/CD, monitoring, and a runbook.
Our fixed-price model means no scope creep. If you add a new endpoint, we quote it before building. Every project includes a 30-day warranty for bug fixes.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No automated tests
- No API documentation
- No deployment scripts
- No monitoring or alerting
- No post-launch support
- Fixed price from the Roadmap phase
- Jest unit tests and Supertest integration tests
- Swagger or GraphQL Playground docs auto-generated
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- CloudWatch, Sentry, and Datadog monitoring
- 30-day warranty and 2-week post-launch support
How we build your Node.js API in 4 phases
Every project follows a proven 4-phase process that starts with a detailed Roadmap and ends with a live API.
Phase 1 (Idea) is a 2-day discovery workshop where we map your data model, endpoints, and integrations. Phase 2 (Roadmap) produces a fixed-price proposal with a timeline and technical specification.
Phase 3 (Product) is the build phase: we write code in 2-week sprints with daily standups and weekly demos. Phase 4 (Release) includes deployment, load testing, and a 30-day warranty.
What ships with every Node.js API project
You don't just get code. You get a production-ready system with everything needed to run and maintain it.
Every API delivery includes the full source code in your private GitHub or GitLab repository. We also provide a deployment runbook, API documentation, and a monitoring dashboard.
- Source code in your GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Automated unit tests (Jest) and integration tests (Supertest)
- API documentation via Swagger or GraphQL Playground
- Docker Compose for local development
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Postman collection for manual testing
- Deployment runbook with rollback steps
- 30-day warranty for bug fixes
- 2-week post-launch support
What we ship in this practice.
Fintech payment API
Built a PCI-DSS compliant payment API with Stripe Connect, Plaid for bank verification, and a ledger service in Node.js. Reduced chargeback processing time from 3 days to 2 hours.
Healthcare patient portal API
Developed a HIPAA-compliant REST API for a telemedicine platform using Express, PostgreSQL, and Twilio video. Handled 10,000 concurrent users during peak hours.
Ecommerce order management API
Built a GraphQL API for a multi-warehouse ecommerce brand with inventory sync to Shopify and ShipStation. Reduced order processing errors by 40%.
SaaS analytics dashboard API
Created a real-time analytics API with WebSocket subscriptions using Socket.IO and Redis. Powered a dashboard that ingests 1 million events per minute.
Real estate MLS integration API
Developed a Node.js API that syncs MLS listings with a custom CRM using Rete.js for workflow automation. Reduced manual data entry by 8 hours per week per agent.
Media streaming API
Built a video streaming API with AWS S3, CloudFront, and HLS transcoding. Supports 4K playback with sub-2-second start time for 95% of users.
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 engineers only
IRPR hires only senior Node.js engineers with 7+ years of experience. No juniors, no offshoring, no code review bottlenecks.
Compliance built in
We ship HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant APIs out of the box. Encryption, audit logs, and access controls are part of every build.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code. No proprietary frameworks, no licensing fees, no vendor lock-in. The code is yours from day one.
Real-time communication
Daily standups, weekly demos, and a shared Slack channel. You see progress every day, not just at the end of the project.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes a 30-day warranty and 2-week post-launch support. We don't disappear after deployment.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
