Node.js backend development companybackend
We build Node.js backends that scale from prototype to production. Ship your MVP in 8-12 weeks with a dedicated senior engineer team.
IRPR builds production-grade Node.js backends using Express.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS. We handle everything from REST and GraphQL APIs to real-time WebSocket services and microservices architecture.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We follow SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliance standards, and you get full ownership of the source code and CI/CD pipeline.
CTOs scaling SaaS platforms hire us to offload backend engineering while maintaining quality. Founders building MVPs get a production-ready backend in under 3 months. Enterprise teams use IRPR for dedicated Node.js backend development without the overhead of hiring.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build RESTful APIs with Express.js or Nest.js. Includes authentication, rate limiting, and Swagger documentation.
GraphQL API development

Why IRPR for Node.js backend development
We have shipped 200+ backend projects across 50 countries, with 98% on-time delivery.
Our senior Node.js engineers average 10+ years of experience. They work across Express.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, and AWS. Every project includes automated testing, CI/CD, and monitoring out of the box.
We follow a fixed-price model with no hourly billing. After a 2-week Roadmap phase (included in the quote), you know exactly what ships and when. The average MVP takes 12 weeks from kickoff to production.
Generic dev shop vs IRPR
Most Node.js development agencies bill by the hour and produce vague timelines. IRPR is different.
Generic shops often start with a rough estimate, then charge more as scope creeps. You never know the final cost until the end. Code ownership may be unclear, and quality depends on which junior developer gets assigned.
IRPR gives you a fixed price after a detailed Roadmap. You own 100% of the code and infrastructure. Every project is staffed with senior engineers only. We handle deployment, monitoring, and documentation as part of the package.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Vague requirements phase
- Unclear who writes code
- No CI/CD or monitoring by default
- Code license often limited
- Delays from junior engineers
- Fixed price after roadmap
- Detailed specifications and mockups
- Senior engineers with 10+ years
- CI/CD pipeline and Sentry monitoring
- Full code ownership
- No junior engineers; consistent quality
How we build your Node.js backend
Our process is designed for speed and clarity. From idea to production in 12 weeks.
Phase 1 is the Roadmap: we define the architecture, data model, API endpoints, and deployment plan. You get a fixed price and a timeline. Phase 2 is Development: we build in 2-week sprints with daily standups and weekly demos.
Phase 3 is Deployment: we set up staging and production environments, run load tests, and configure monitoring with Datadog or Sentry. Phase 4 is Handoff: you get full source code, documentation, and a runbook.
What ships with every Node.js backend project
No hidden surprises. Every deliverable is included in the fixed price.
We ship more than just code. Our standard package includes everything you need to run and maintain the backend in production: infrastructure code, monitoring, CI/CD, and documentation.
If you need compliance certifications (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS), we build the required controls into the architecture from day one. No retrofitting.
- Full source code in your private GitHub repository
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or CircleCI
- Sentry error tracking with alerting
- Dockerized development environment
- API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI)
- Database migration scripts (Flyway or TypeORM)
- Load testing report (k6 or Artillery)
- Deployment runbook with AWS or your provider
- 30 days of post-launch support and bug fixes
- HIPAA/SOC 2/PCI-DSS compliance framework (if required)
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS backend for a B2B analytics platform
Built a multi-tenant Node.js backend with Express.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Integrated Stripe billing and Stripe Connect for marketplace payments. Reduced time-to-billing by 40%.
Real-time chat API for a telehealth app
Developed a WebSocket-based messaging service using Socket.IO and AWS AppSync. Handles 10,000 concurrent connections with sub-100ms latency. Achieved HIPAA compliance.
Microservices for an e-commerce platform
Decomposed a monolith into 8 microservices using Nest.js and RabbitMQ. Each service independently deployable. Cut deployment time from 4 hours to 15 minutes.
Serverless backend for a mobile app
Built serverless APIs with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Implemented offline sync with AWS AppSync. Scaled to 500K users without downtime.
Fintech backend for a lending platform
Created a PCI-DSS compliant Node.js backend with transaction processing, credit scoring API, and KYC integration. Reduced fraud detection latency by 60% using Redis caching.
Data processing pipeline for a logistics startup
Built an ETL pipeline using Node.js streams, Bull queues, and AWS S3. Processes 2 million events per day with 99.9% reliability. Integrated real-time tracking via WebSockets.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. Your budget is locked from day one.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of experience. No junior developers. Every engineer has shipped at least 5 production-grade Node.js backends before joining IRPR.
Full code ownership
You own 100% of the source code, infrastructure scripts, and documentation. No licensing fees. No vendor lock-in. You can deploy anywhere with our runbook.
12-week MVPs
From kickoff to production in 12 weeks on average. We use proven patterns and starter kits to accelerate development without cutting corners.
Compliance built-in
We build HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS controls into the architecture from the start. Annual audits and penetration tests are included in our compliance packages.
Post-launch support
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and critical patches. Optional maintenance retainer available for ongoing updates.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
