Premium Backend Development FirmBackend Development
We build backend systems that handle millions of requests. 12 weeks to your first production release, fixed price from $80K.
IRPR is a premium backend development firm. We design and build backend systems with Node.js, Python, Go, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, and AWS. Every project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we spec the data model, API contracts, and infrastructure before writing a line of code.
Our typical delivery is 8-12 weeks for an MVP, priced fixed between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance for healthcare (HIPAA), finance (PCI-DSS), and SaaS (SOC 2). Senior engineers only — no junior devs. You get a dedicated team of 3-5 experienced backend engineers.
We work with CTOs building their second product after a seed round, SaaS founders who need a scalable API before launch, and enterprise teams migrating monolithic backends to microservices. Our clients are in 50+ countries and include fast-growing startups and Fortune 500 companies.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Design and build HTTP APIs with Express.js or Fastify. Includes OpenAPI specs, versioning, rate limiting, and auth with JWT or OAuth2.
GraphQL Backend Development
Implement GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Hasura. Supports subscriptions, federation, and real-time data for complex web apps.
Microservices Architecture
Break a monolith into independent services with Docker, Kubernetes, and message queues like RabbitMQ or AWS SQS. Each service deploys independently.
Event-Driven Backend Systems
Build systems that react to events in near-real-time using Kafka or AWS EventBridge. Ideal for order processing, IoT data, and analytics pipelines.
Real-Time Backend Development
Implement WebSockets and Server-Sent Events with Socket.io or AWS API Gateway WebSockets. Used for live chat, notifications, and collaborative editing.
Serverless Backend Architecture
Deploy functions on AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions with DynamoDB or Aurora Serverless. Scales to zero when idle, pay per request.
Backend for Mobile Apps
Build a mobile backend with Firebase or AWS Amplify. Includes push notifications, file uploads, offline sync, and user authentication.
Data Pipeline and ETL Backend
Create data pipelines with Airflow, dbt, and Snowflake. Processes terabytes of data, transforms it, and loads into warehouses for BI tools.
We build for every business type.
SaaS platforms
Enterprise apps
Fintech and finance
Healthcare and life sciences
Media and content
What We Deliver as a Premium Backend Development Firm
Every backend project follows a repeatable process that removes guesswork and guarantees quality.
IRPR delivers production-ready backend code, not prototypes. Your system includes automatic scaling on AWS, error tracking with Sentry, and monitoring with Datadog. We write integration tests with 90%+ coverage before we ship the first feature.
Your team gets full source code in a private GitHub repo, CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and a deployed staging environment on day one. We use infrastructure as code with Terraform so your entire stack is reproducible in any AWS region.
How We Are Different from a Generic Dev Shop
Most backend development agencies promise quality but deliver unmaintainable code. IRPR works differently.
Generic dev shops assign junior developers or offshore teams that churn every few months. They work hourly, so scope creep is common. Code reviews are rare, and documentation is an afterthought.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only, with an average of 10+ years of experience each. We work on a fixed price, so you know the budget from week 2. Every project includes code reviews, automated tests, and a full API reference.
- Junior developers with 2-3 years experience
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No dedicated project manager
- Code rarely reviewed by senior engineers
- No infrastructure automation (manual server setup)
- No post-launch monitoring setup
- Senior engineers with 10+ years each
- Fixed price quoted in Roadmap phase
- Dedicated lead engineer and PM
- Code reviews for every pull request
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform) from day one
- Sentry, Datadog, and PagerDuty configured before launch
Our Process for Building a Premium Backend
We follow a 4-phase process that takes you from idea to a deployed, production-ready backend.
Each phase has clear deliverables and a fixed timeline. You approve the output before we move to the next phase. No surprises.
The Roadmap phase costs a flat $5K and includes a detailed technical specification, data model, API contracts, and infrastructure budget. If you continue to Product phase, the Roadmap cost is deducted from the total.
What Ships with Every Backend Project
We include everything you need to run and maintain your backend in production, not just the code.
Many agencies hand over code and walk away. IRPR delivers a complete operational package. Your team can deploy fixes, add new endpoints, and monitor health from day one.
We also include a 30-day post-launch support period where we fix any issues and answer questions. After that, you can extend support on a monthly basis.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- Terraform infrastructure code for AWS or Azure
- Sentry error tracking configured for all environments
- Datadog dashboard with key metrics (latency, error rate, throughput)
- OpenAPI 3.0 spec for every API endpoint
- Integration test suite with 90%+ code coverage
- Deployment to staging environment within the first week
- Post-launch monitoring and alerting with PagerDuty
What we ship in this practice.
Subscription billing engine for a SaaS platform
We built a billing system using Node.js, Stripe, and PostgreSQL that handles 100,000+ subscriptions monthly. The client reduced churn by 15% by adding usage-based pricing and dunning emails. Tech stack: Node.js, Stripe API, Postgres, Bull queue.
Real-time order tracking for a logistics startup
We developed a real-time order tracking platform for a logistics company using WebSockets, Redis, and Go. It processes 5,000 location updates per second and shows estimated delivery times with 95% accuracy. Tech stack: Go, WebSockets, Redis, AWS ECS.
Patient data API for a telemedicine app
We built a HIPAA-compliant backend with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS HealthLake. The system handles 50,000+ patient records and integrates with Epic EHR. The client passed a HIPAA audit without findings. Tech stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS HealthLake, Epic FHIR API.
Payment processing engine for a fintech platform
We developed a payment processing backend using Go, Kafka, and Plaid. It processes 1 million transactions per month with 99.99% uptime and meets PCI-DSS Level 1 requirements. Tech stack: Go, Kafka, Plaid, AWS Fargate.
Inventory management API for a retail chain
We created a RESTful inventory management API for a retailer with 200+ stores. The system syncs stock levels in real-time across all locations and reduced stockouts by 30%. Tech stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS Lambda.
Content recommendation engine for a media platform
We built a recommendation backend using Python, FastAPI, and Elasticsearch that serves 10 million personalized content suggestions per day. User engagement increased by 25% within 3 months. Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, Elasticsearch, Redis, Docker.
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. If you add features mid-project, we quote those separately with your approval.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of backend experience. We do not hire junior developers or outsource to offshore shops. Every engineer on your project has shipped production backends for SaaS, finance, or healthcare.
Compliance built in from day one
We have delivered HIPAA-compliant backends for 20+ healthcare clients and PCI-DSS systems for 10+ fintech companies. Your data model and infrastructure are designed for compliance audits from the start.
Production-ready in 8-12 weeks
Our average MVP timeline is 12 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. We achieve this by reusing proven patterns, not reinventing the wheel. Your staging environment is live in the first week.
Full ownership and no lock-in
You own all source code, infrastructure scripts, and documentation. No proprietary frameworks, no hidden licenses, no long-term contracts. Deploy your code to any cloud provider or move it to your own team.
30-day post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support where we fix bugs, answer questions, and help your team with the first few deployments. No extra cost. After that, you can extend support month-to-month.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
