Hire an Experienced Node.js API Development TeamAPI Development
We build REST and GraphQL APIs that handle 10,000+ requests per second. Senior Node.js engineers ship production APIs in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing.
IRPR builds production-grade Node.js APIs using Express, Fastify, NestJS, and Prisma ORM. We implement OAuth2, JWT, and role-based access control with secure data validation.
A typical custom API ships in 10-14 weeks with prices from $80,000 to $250,000. We comply with SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS when required, and include automated testing and monitoring.
Product managers who need a scalable backend before launch. CTOs migrating from monolithic to microservices. Startups building API-first products. Enterprise teams needing specialized Node.js expertise for integration or performance work.
Types of software we ship.
RESTful API
Standard HTTP endpoints using Express or Fastify. Includes Swagger docs, rate limiting, and pagination.
GraphQL API
Flexible query language with Apollo Server or Yoga. Built-in caching, schema stitching, and real-time subscriptions.
Microservices Gateway

What an Experienced Node.js API Development Team Delivers
We ship production APIs that are secure, documented, and built for scale.
Our Node.js API team uses TypeScript, Jest, and ESLint from day one. Every API includes unit tests, integration tests, and CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions.
We enforce code reviews and pair programming for complex modules. The result is a clean, maintainable codebase that your internal team can extend immediately.
Generic Dev Shop vs Experienced Node.js API Development Team
Not all teams deliver production-ready APIs. Here is the difference.
Many agencies quote hourly rates and deliver code that requires heavy rework. IRPR treats your API as a product, not a feature.
We fix the scope and price in week 2, include all tests and docs, and hand over full ownership with a clear migration guide.
- Hourly billing with no price cap
- Junior or mid-level developers only
- No API documentation delivered
- No load testing or performance benchmarks
- No post-delivery support included
- Code ownership often disputed
- Fixed price locked in week 2
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- OpenAPI docs and Postman collections shipped
- Load tests with k6 or Artillery up to 10K req/s
- 2 weeks of free support after launch
- Full code ownership — you own everything
Our 5-Step Process for Building Your Node.js API
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks with clear milestones.
Each phase has defined deliverables and a go/no-go checkpoint. You know exactly what ships and when.
We communicate daily via Slack and hold weekly sprint reviews. No black boxes, no surprises.
What You Get When You Hire an Experienced Node.js API Development Team
Every project ships with a complete package, not just code.
You get everything needed to run, extend, and maintain your API. No loose ends.
We also provide a 30-minute walkthrough video for your team and a support window for questions.
- Source code in your GitHub repo (full ownership)
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and AWS CodeDeploy
- OpenAPI 3.0 specification and Postman collection
- Unit tests (Jest) covering 95%+ of critical endpoints
- Integration tests with supertest or Pact
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring setup
- Docker Compose and Dockerfile for local development
- Database migration scripts (Prisma or Knex)
- Load test report (k6) showing performance benchmarks
- Security audit report (Snyk + OWASP Top 10 check)
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time Chat API for SaaS
We built a WebSocket-based chat API using Socket.io and Redis. It handles 5,000 concurrent users with under 50ms latency, reducing the client's server cost by 40%.
Payment Gateway API for Fintech
PCI-DSS compliant REST API with Stripe integration. Handles 10,000 transactions per hour, reduced manual reconciliation by 12 hours per week.
Inventory Management API for Ecommerce
NestJS API connected to Shopify and custom warehouse systems. Cuts stock update delays from 4 hours to 30 seconds across 50,000 SKUs.
Patient Data API for Healthcare
HIPAA-compliant GraphQL API using Apollo Server and AWS HealthLake. Provides 200+ healthcare providers with real-time patient records, saving 8 hours per day in admin work.
Route Optimization API for Logistics
Microservice using Fastify and Google Maps API. Computes optimal routes for 500+ delivery trucks daily, cutting fuel costs by 15% and on-time delivery rate from 82% to 96%.
Content API for Media Platform
REST API with Redis caching for a video streaming app. Serves 2 million API requests per day with 99.9% uptime, enabling personalization and recommendation features.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a line of code.
Senior engineers only (10+ years)
Every developer on your project has at least 10 years of Node.js experience. No juniors, no bait and switch. Your API is built by people who have shipped production systems for a decade.
Async-first with US overlap hours
Our team works across time zones but maintains daily overlap with US business hours (9am-1pm EST). You get fast responses without paying NYC rates.
Full code ownership from day one
We write all code in your GitHub organization. You own every line, every commit, every branch. No licensing, no hidden IP claims.
Compliance expertise built in
We have delivered HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant APIs for 30+ clients. If your industry has regulations, we know the checklist and ship the evidence.
Rapid 1-2 week kickoff
We can start your project within 2 weeks of signing. Our onboarding process is streamlined: one discovery call, one roadmap document, then code.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
