Experienced Node.js Backend Development StudioBackend Development
We build production-grade Node.js backends for startups and enterprises. 200+ products shipped in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing.
IRPR is an experienced Node.js backend development studio. We build REST APIs, GraphQL servers, microservices, and real-time systems using Node.js, Express, NestJS, Fastify, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and AWS Lambda. Every project starts from scratch in your repo, not a template.
Our backend projects ship in 8-12 weeks for MVPs and 12-20 weeks for full platforms. Fixed pricing starts at $80K and goes to $250K for complex systems. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR out of the box.
CTOs hire us when their in-house team lacks Node.js depth. Founders hire us to build their first backend before raising a seed round. Engineering managers hire us to scale an existing backend that's breaking under load. Product owners hire us to ship a new API for a mobile app or SaaS product.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build stateless APIs with Express or Fastify. Includes JWT auth, rate limiting, request validation, and Swagger docs.
GraphQL Backend

Why Hire an Experienced Node.js Backend Development Studio
A generic freelancer might ship code. IRPR ships a production-ready backend with monitoring, CI/CD, and compliance built in.
IRPR has shipped 200+ backends across 50 countries. Our Node.js engineers average 8 years of experience. Every project includes automated testing with Jest, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, error tracking with Sentry, and performance monitoring with Datadog. We deploy on AWS or GCP with auto-scaling and zero-downtime deployments.
We specialize in high-compliance backends. Our fintech projects pass PCI-DSS audits. Our healthcare backends are HIPAA compliant with BAA agreements. Our SaaS platforms meet SOC 2 Type II requirements. Every backend ships with a security checklist that covers OWASP Top 10, rate limiting, and encrypted secrets.
Generic Dev Shop vs Experienced Node.js Studio
Most dev shops say they build Node.js backends. IRPR has done it 200 times with measurable results.
A generic shop might hand you a monolithic Express app with no tests and a single Heroku dyno. IRPR builds modular, test-covered backends on AWS with auto-scaling and CI/CD. We don't just write code. We ship a system that runs in production from day one.
When you hire IRPR, you get a dedicated team of senior engineers who have built backends for fintech, healthcare, and SaaS companies. We follow a strict 4-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. Every phase has deliverables, timelines, and a fixed price.
- Starts coding without a roadmap
- Builds a monolithic Express app
- No automated tests or CI/CD
- Deploys on a single server
- No monitoring or error tracking
- Charges hourly, scope creeps
- Starts with a detailed Roadmap (week 2)
- Builds modular, testable microservices
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Jest tests
- Deploys on AWS ECS with auto-scaling
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Fixed price, no scope creep
Our Node.js Backend Development Process
We follow a 4-phase process that turns your idea into a production-ready backend in 8-12 weeks.
Phase 1: Idea. We map your requirements in a 2-day workshop. We define endpoints, data models, and third-party integrations. You get a written spec and a fixed price.
Phase 2: Roadmap. We design the architecture. We choose the database (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), the API style (REST or GraphQL), and the deployment target (AWS, GCP, or Azure). You get a detailed timeline.
What Ships With Every Node.js Backend
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default. No add-ons, no upselling.
We ship more than code. Every project includes infrastructure as code, monitoring, and a runbook. You can hand it to any engineer and they can run it in 30 minutes.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Automated tests (Jest, 80%+ coverage)
- API documentation (Swagger or GraphQL Playground)
- Database schema and migrations
- Docker container for local development
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or Pulumi)
- Sentry error tracking configured
- Datadog performance monitoring
- One-page runbook for operations
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-Tenant SaaS Backend
Built a multi-tenant backend for a B2B SaaS startup. Used NestJS, PostgreSQL, and Stripe. Handles 50 tenants with isolated databases. Reduced onboarding time from 2 weeks to 2 days.

Built an ETL pipeline for a real estate platform. Used Node.js, Bull queue, and PostgreSQL. Ingests data from 50 MLS providers daily. Reduced data latency from 24 hours to 15 minutes.
EdTech Assessment Backend
Built a backend for an online assessment platform. Used Node.js, GraphQL, and Redis. Supports 10,000 concurrent test takers. Reduced grading time from 3 days to instant.
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. You know the cost before we write a line of code.
Senior engineers only
IRPR only hires engineers with 8+ years of experience. Every backend is built by a senior who has shipped production systems for fintech, healthcare, and SaaS companies. No juniors, no offshore teams.
200+ backends shipped
We have built backends for 200+ products across 50 countries. Our engineers have solved auth, scaling, compliance, and integration problems many times. You get battle-tested patterns, not guesswork.
8-12 week MVPs
We ship a production-ready backend in 8-12 weeks. That includes authentication, database, API, CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation. You can start integrating your frontend by week 4.
Built for compliance
Our backends are built for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR out of the box. We include audit logs, encryption at rest and in transit, and access controls. No retrofitting compliance later.
Full code ownership
You own 100% of the source code, infrastructure, and IP. We push every commit to your GitHub repo from day one. No proprietary frameworks, no locked-in licenses. You can take it anywhere.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
