Premium Custom Backend Development FirmBackend Development
We build production-grade backend systems for startups and enterprises. 8-12 week MVPs with fixed pricing from $80K.
IRPR is a premium custom backend development firm that builds backend systems using Node.js, Go, Python, and Rust. We design REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, event-driven microservices, and serverless architectures on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Every project ships with a full CI/CD pipeline, automated testing, monitoring via Datadog or Sentry, and infrastructure as code using Terraform. Typical projects run 8-12 weeks and cost $80K-$250K. We support HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA compliance.
Startups hire us to build their first production backend. SaaS companies hire us to re-architect monolithic apps into microservices. Enterprise teams hire us to build custom APIs and data pipelines that integrate with Salesforce, Stripe, and internal systems.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless RESTful APIs with Node.js or Go, documented via Swagger/OpenAPI, with JWT auth and rate limiting.
GraphQL backend
Implement GraphQL gateways with Apollo or Hasura, resolving data from multiple sources like PostgreSQL and Redis.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into Dockerized microservices communicating via gRPC or RabbitMQ, orchestrated on Kubernetes.
Event-driven systems
Build asynchronous event pipelines using Kafka or AWS SQS/SNS for real-time data processing and decoupled services.
Serverless backend
Create serverless functions on AWS Lambda or Cloud Functions with API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Step Functions workflows.
Backend for mobile apps
Develop push notification services, real-time messaging via WebSockets, and offline sync for iOS and Android apps.
Data pipeline & ETL
Design ETL pipelines using Airflow or dbt to transform data from APIs, databases, and S3 into analytics-ready formats.
Authentication & authorization
Implement OAuth 2.0, SAML, or custom JWT-based auth with role-based access control and integration with Okta or Auth0.
We build for every business type.
SaaS companies
Fintech firms
Healthcare organizations
Ecommerce platforms
Enterprise operations
What a premium custom backend development firm ships
Every project includes production-ready code, infrastructure, and monitoring from day one.
IRPR delivers more than just code. We provide a fully running backend with CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and monitoring. Our standard stack includes Node.js or Go, PostgreSQL or MongoDB, Redis for caching, and Docker for containerization. We deploy on AWS or GCP using Terraform.
You get a private GitHub repository with full commit history, a staging environment for QA, and a production environment with 99.9% uptime SLA. We also include Postman collections or GraphQL playgrounds for testing. All projects come with written documentation covering architecture decisions, API endpoints, and deployment steps.
How IRPR differs from other backend development firms
Most agencies bill hourly and change scope. IRPR gives fixed pricing and senior-only teams.
Generic dev shops often assign junior developers, use outdated frameworks, and lack compliance experience. They may not deliver on time or within budget. Many shops avoid code ownership questions and leave you with undocumented spaghetti.
IRPR works differently. Every project is led by a senior engineer with 10+ years of experience. We use a fixed-price model after a 2-week Roadmap phase. You own the code from day one. We enforce code reviews, automated testing, and infrastructure as code.
- Junior or offshore teams
- Hourly billing with scope creep
- No compliance expertise
- Unclear code ownership
- No CI/CD or monitoring
- Minimal documentation
- Senior engineers only (10+ years)
- Fixed price after Roadmap phase
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, FERPA
- Full code ownership on day one
- CI/CD, Docker, Terraform, Sentry
- Written API and architecture docs
Our backend development process
We follow a four-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release.
Phase 1 (Idea) takes 1 week. We clarify requirements, define user stories, and choose the tech stack. Phase 2 (Roadmap) takes 1 week. We produce a detailed plan with architecture diagrams, database schema, API design, and a fixed price quote.
Phase 3 (Product) runs 6-10 weeks. We build the backend in 2-week sprints with demos every Friday. Phase 4 (Release) takes 1 week. We deploy to production, set up monitoring, and hand over source code and documentation.
What ships with every backend project
Every engagement includes these deliverables by default.
You never have to ask for these items. They are part of every IRPR project. From the first sprint, we set up infrastructure as code, automated testing, and deployment pipelines.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Dockerized services with docker-compose
- Terraform scripts for cloud infrastructure
- API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI or GraphQL schema)
- Postman collection or GraphQL playground
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Automated unit and integration tests (Jest, pytest)
- Database migration scripts (Alembic, Prisma)
- Deployment runbook for production
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS multi-tenant API platform
Built a multi-tenant REST API for a B2B SaaS startup using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. The platform handles 10,000 requests/second with sub-50ms latency. Reduced time-to-market by 4 months.
Fintech payment processing backend
Developed a PCI-DSS compliant payment processing system with Go, Stripe integration, and event-driven fraud detection. Processed $2M in transactions in the first month without any security incidents.
Healthcare data pipeline
Designed a HIPAA-compliant ETL pipeline using Python, Airflow, and AWS S3 to ingest EHR data from 3 hospitals. Reduced data processing time from 12 hours to 30 minutes.
Ecommerce order management backend
Built a real-time order management system with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Kafka for a mid-market retailer. Handles 5,000 orders/day with inventory sync across 3 warehouses.
Real-time chat backend for EdTech
Created a WebSocket-based chat backend using Node.js, Redis Pub/Sub, and MongoDB for a tutoring platform. Supports 1,000 concurrent users with message delivery under 100ms.
IoT data ingestion for manufacturing
Implemented a serverless data pipeline on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB to ingest telemetry from 500 IoT sensors. Reduced data latency from 5 minutes to 2 seconds.
Why teams hire us.
Senior engineers only
Every developer at IRPR has 10+ years of experience. No juniors, no outsourcing. You work directly with the person writing your code.
Fixed price, not hourly
After the 2-week Roadmap phase, you get a fixed price for the entire project. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep.
Full code ownership
You own the source code from day one. We never use proprietary frameworks. You can take the code to any team after the project.
Compliance built in
We have built systems for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA. Our standard pipeline includes encryption, logging, and access controls needed for audits.
Production-grade from sprint one
We set up CI/CD, Docker, and monitoring in the first sprint. You see a running backend with tests and deployment scripts by week 2.
98% on-time delivery
We have shipped 200+ products with 98% on-time delivery. Our fixed-price model and sprint structure keep projects on track.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
