experienced scalable backend development partnerbackend development
We build backend systems that handle 10x traffic without breaking. 12 weeks from spec to production.
IRPR is an experienced scalable backend development partner for companies that need production-grade systems. We use Node.js, Go, Python, and AWS to build APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that scale from day one.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing from $80K to $250K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 so you can launch without security delays.
Startups hire us to build their MVP backend before raising a Series A. Mid-market CTOs use us to replace legacy monoliths. Enterprise VPs bring us in when their internal teams are too slow for new product lines.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless RESTful APIs with Node.js, Express, and JWT authentication. Designed for high throughput and low latency.
GraphQL backend
Implement GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server, schema stitching, and real-time subscriptions. Reduces over-fetching by 40%.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into Dockerized microservices with RabbitMQ, Kafka, and gRPC for inter-service communication.
Event-driven data pipeline
Build streaming data pipelines with Apache Kafka, AWS Kinesis, and Lambda for real-time analytics and ETL.
Serverless backend
Create serverless functions with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Pay per execution, scale to millions of requests.
Database architecture and migration
Design relational and NoSQL schemas for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB. Handle zero-downtime migrations.
Authentication and authorization system
Implement OAuth 2.0, SAML, or custom JWT-based auth with role-based access control and MFA support.
Third-party API integration
Integrate with Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio, and 50+ other APIs using retry logic and webhook handling.
We build for every business type.
SaaS
eCommerce
healthcare

media and content
Why you need an experienced scalable backend development partner
A backend that works at 100 users will fail at 10,000 without the right architecture.
IRPR has built backend systems for 200+ products across 50 countries. We design for scale from the start using horizontal partitioning, caching layers with Redis, and async processing with message queues. Every system we ship handles traffic spikes without manual intervention.
We also bake observability into every deployment. Each backend ships with Prometheus metrics, structured logging in JSON format, and Sentry error tracking. You get a Grafana dashboard showing p99 latency, error rates, and throughput on day one.
IRPR vs generic development shops
Most agencies build backends that break under load. IRPR builds systems that scale.
Generic shops often skip load testing, use monolithic designs, and leave you with unmaintainable code. IRPR treats every backend as a production system from week one.
We write integration tests, set up CI/CD pipelines, and enforce code reviews. Every project includes a runbook for on-call engineers.
- No load testing until after launch
- Monolithic architecture that can't scale
- No monitoring or alerting
- No CI/CD pipeline
- Hourly billing with scope creep
- No documentation or runbook
- Load testing before launch with k6
- Microservices or modular monolith designed for scale
- Prometheus + Grafana dashboards from day one
- GitHub Actions CI/CD with automated tests
- Fixed price, no surprises
- Full runbook and architecture docs
Our backend development process
We follow a 4-phase process that turns your idea into a production backend in 12 weeks.
Every project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define the data model, API contracts, and deployment architecture. You get a fixed price and timeline before we write a single line of code.
After the Roadmap is approved, we build in 2-week sprints with demos at the end of each sprint. You see working code every 14 days.
What ships with every backend project
You own everything. No black boxes, no locked-in contracts.
When IRPR builds your backend, you get the complete codebase in your own GitHub repository. Every dependency is documented, every environment variable is listed, every API endpoint has a test.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Automated test suite with Jest and Supertest
- API documentation with Swagger or OpenAPI
- Dockerfile and docker-compose for local dev
- Terraform or CloudFormation for infrastructure as code
- Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboard
- Sentry error tracking and alerting
- Runbook with incident response steps
- Architecture diagram (Draw.io or Miro)
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS analytics platform backend
Built a multi-tenant analytics backend for a B2B SaaS startup. Used Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Reduced query latency by 60% and handled 500 concurrent users from launch. Industry: SaaS.
HIPAA-compliant telemedicine API
Designed a HIPAA-compliant backend for a telemedicine app. Used Go, PostgreSQL, and AWS Fargate. Passed HIPAA audit on first submission. Industry: healthcare.
Real-time payment processing system
Built a real-time payment processing backend for a fintech company. Used Node.js, Kafka, and Stripe. Processed 10,000 transactions per minute with 99.99% uptime. Industry: fintech.
Ecommerce inventory management API
Replaced a legacy inventory system with a RESTful API built on Node.js and MongoDB. Reduced manual data entry by 8 hours per week. Industry: ecommerce.
Real estate MLS data pipeline
Built an event-driven data pipeline to ingest MLS listings from 50+ sources. Used Python, Kafka, and AWS Lambda. Updated property data every 5 minutes. Industry: real-estate.
EdTech assessment engine backend
Developed a scalable backend for an online assessment platform. Used Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Handled 10,000 concurrent test takers without latency spikes. Industry: edtech.
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 exact cost before we start building.
12-week delivery guarantee
We ship MVPs in 8-12 weeks. Our track record is 98% on-time delivery across 200+ projects. If we miss the deadline, we discount the next sprint.
Senior engineers only
Every engineer on your project has 8+ years of experience. No junior developers, no offshore teams, no learning on your dime. You talk directly to the engineers building your system.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and infrastructure configs. No licensing fees, no locked-in contracts. You can take the code to any team after the project ends.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant backends from the start. No retrofitting. We include encryption at rest, audit logs, and access controls in every project.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. We fix bugs, answer questions, and help your team deploy changes. After 30 days, we offer ongoing maintenance at a fixed monthly rate.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
