Node.js Backend Development ServicesBackend Development
We build fast, scalable backends in Node.js. Your MVP ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price.
IRPR builds Node.js backends using Express.js, Fastify, and NestJS. We connect them to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis and deploy on AWS ECS or Vercel.
Each project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase. You get a fixed price quote before any code is written. Typical MVPs range from $80K to $250K and ship in 8-12 weeks. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance.
CTOs hire us to build a new product backend without growing their team. Startup founders need a production-ready API in 10 weeks. Product managers want a scalable backend that handles 100,000 concurrent users.
Types of software we ship.

Why Node.js for your backend
Node.js handles thousands of concurrent connections on a single thread.
IRPR has shipped over 200 Node.js backends for clients in 50+ countries. We use Express.js for APIs, Socket.IO for real-time, and Bull for job queues. Every backend is deployed with CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions.
Node.js runs on the V8 engine and processes 50,000+ requests per second on a standard AWS EC2 instance. Our backends average 99.9% uptime with auto-scaling and health checks.
Generic dev shops vs IRPR
Not all Node.js development teams deliver the same quality.
Many agencies start coding without a clear roadmap. They bill by the hour and change requirements mid-project. You get a backend that works but is hard to maintain and expensive to scale.
IRPR starts every project with a 2-week Roadmap phase. You get a fixed price, a detailed architecture diagram, and a delivery timeline. Our senior engineers write clean, tested code with full CI/CD from day one.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No written architecture plan
- Junior developers on your project
- No automated testing
- Manual deployments
- No post-launch support
- Fixed price from the Roadmap phase
- Detailed architecture and API spec
- Senior engineers only (8+ years)
- Automated unit and integration tests
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Docker
- 30 days of post-launch support included
How we build your Node.js backend
Four phases from idea to production deployment.
We follow a structured process that eliminates surprises. Every phase has clear deliverables and a fixed timeline. You see progress every week.
IRPR has shipped over 200 backends using this method. On-time delivery rate is 98%.
What ships with your Node.js backend
Every project includes these deliverables by default.
No hidden extras. Every item on this checklist is included in the fixed price.
IRPR owns nothing. You get full ownership of all code, documentation, and infrastructure.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and Docker
- PostgreSQL or MongoDB schema with migrations
- RESTful or GraphQL API with OpenAPI documentation
- JWT-based authentication with refresh tokens
- Automated unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage)
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Deployment scripts for AWS ECS or Vercel
- Rate limiting and input validation
- 30 days of post-launch support and bug fixes
