node.js development firmdevelopment firm
We build production-grade Node.js apps on fixed-price contracts. 8-12 week MVPs with senior engineers only.
IRPR is a node.js development firm that builds web apps, APIs, microservices, and real-time systems using Express.js, NestJS, Fastify, and Socket.io. We write TypeScript by default and deploy on AWS Lambda or ECS.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price (typically $80K-$250K). We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA. You get full source code, CI/CD pipelines, and 90 days of post-launch support.
CTOs hire us when their in-house team lacks Node.js depth. Startup founders hire us to validate an idea with a production-grade MVP. Enterprise product managers hire us to build internal tools or customer-facing portals that must pass security audits.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Building stateless JSON APIs with Express.js or Fastify. Includes Swagger documentation, rate limiting, and JWT auth.
GraphQL API development
Building type-safe GraphQL servers with Apollo Server or TypeGraphQL. Includes schema stitching and resolver caching.
Real-time application development
Building WebSocket-driven apps with Socket.io or WebRTC for live chat, notifications, and collaborative editing.
Microservices architecture design
Building distributed systems with NestJS, RabbitMQ, and Docker. Each service is independently deployable and scalable.

Why a node.js development firm delivers faster
Senior Node.js engineers build your entire backend in weeks, not months.
A generalist team spends weeks learning Node.js patterns. IRPR's engineers arrive on day one knowing Express, NestJS, Fastify, Prisma, and AWS. The first sprint delivers a working API with test coverage at 80% or higher.
The Roadmap phase (week 2) produces a fixed quote and a 12-week build plan. No discovery phase that drags on for months. No hourly billing that rewards inefficiency. You get a production-grade Node.js backend with CI/CD, error tracking, and monitoring built in.
How IRPR differs from a freelancer or offshore shop
You get a team with process, compliance, and accountability.
Freelancers disappear for a week. Offshore shops swap engineers mid-project. IRPR assigns a pod of 3-5 senior Node.js engineers who stay through launch. Every engineer has 7+ years of experience and a track record of shipping on time.
We write tests before code. We deploy every pull request to a staging environment. We run security scans (Snyk, SonarQube) on every commit. The result is a Node.js application that passes SOC 2 audits and handles production traffic from day one.
- Junior developers learning Node.js on your project
- Hourly billing with no budget cap
- No test coverage or CI/CD pipeline
- Engineers reassigned mid-sprint
- No security or compliance reviews
- Handoff of incomplete code at project end
- Senior Node.js engineers with 7+ years experience
- Fixed price quoted in week 2, no budget surprises
- 80%+ test coverage and CI/CD from Sprint 1
- Same pod of engineers from Roadmap to Release
- Snyk and SonarQube scans on every commit
- Full source code ownership with 90-day support
The IRPR process for building your Node.js application
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks.
Week 1 is the Idea phase. We interview your stakeholders, review your requirements, and produce a product brief with user stories and technical risks. Week 2 is the Roadmap phase. We design the system architecture, choose the tech stack (Node.js + your choice of database and hosting), and quote a fixed price.
Weeks 3-10 are the Product phase. We ship working software every 2 weeks. You see real commits, real endpoints, and real data flowing through the system. Week 11-12 is the Release phase. We deploy to production, set up monitoring (Datadog, Sentry), and hand over full source code.
What ships with every Node.js project from IRPR
You own everything. No vendor lock-in.
When we finish a project, you get a Git repository with full commit history, a CI/CD pipeline that deploys to your AWS account, and documentation for every API endpoint. We use Sentry for error tracking, Datadog for performance monitoring, and Terraform for infrastructure-as-code.
The codebase uses TypeScript, modern Node.js patterns, and a consistent style guide. Your internal team can pick up the code and start contributing within days. We include a 90-day warranty period with priority Slack support.
- Full source code in your private GitHub repository
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- 80%+ unit test coverage with Jest or Mocha
- Sentry error tracking with alerts
- Datadog or New Relic performance monitoring
- Swagger/OpenAPI documentation for every endpoint
- Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Pulumi
- Docker containers for local development and production
- 90-day post-launch support with Slack channel
What we ship in this practice.

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 production code.
Senior Node.js engineers only
Every engineer on your project has 7+ years of professional Node.js experience. No juniors, no interns, no offshore staffing churn. The same pod builds your product from week 1 to launch.
Production-grade from sprint 1
Day one includes CI/CD, test coverage, and Sentry error tracking. The code that runs in staging is the same code that runs in production. We ship no throwaway prototypes.
Full ownership of everything
You own the source code, the CI/CD pipeline, the infrastructure, and the documentation. No proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in, no license fees. Your team takes over on day one after launch.
12-week MVP guarantee
Every project ships an MVP in 8-12 weeks. If we miss the deadline, we work for free until we deliver. Our on-time rate is 98% across 200+ projects.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
We embed HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA compliance into the architecture from week 1. No retroactive audits. No last-minute security patches. Your application passes compliance checks without rework.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
