Premium Node.js Backend Development DevelopersBackend Development
Build production-grade systems. 8-12 week delivery, fixed price.
IRPR ships premium Node.js backend development for companies that need reliable, scalable systems. We use Node.js 18+, Express.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL 15, Redis 7, and Docker to build APIs, microservices, and real-time backends.
Every project delivers running software in 8-12 weeks at a fixed price of $80K-$250K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. Our senior engineers work directly with your team, no managers or middle layers.
Founders who need a production-ready MVP, CTOs replacing a legacy monolith, and product leaders requiring a compliant backend for healthcare or fintech. Each gets a dedicated Node.js architect who owns the technical decisions.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless REST APIs with Express.js and OpenAPI 3.1 specs. Includes Swagger documentation and automated tests.
GraphQL backend
Ship a GraphQL layer with Apollo Server 4, resolvers, and subscriptions. Integrates with PostgreSQL and Redis for caching.
Microservices architecture
Decompose your monolith into Node.js microservices with message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka) and Docker Compose.
Real-time application backend
Build WebSocket servers with Socket.IO or uWebSockets for chat, live dashboards, and collaborative editing.
CMS API backend
Create a headless CMS backend with Strapi or Directus, custom content types, and webhook integrations.
E-commerce backend
Design order management, inventory sync, and payment gateway integration (Stripe, Square) using Node.js.
Data pipeline backend
Process streams and batch jobs with Node.js workers, Bull queue, and Redis. Connects to Snowflake or BigQuery.
Authentication and authorization backend
Implement OAuth 2.0, JWT, SAML, or OpenID Connect with Passport.js and role-based access control.
We build for every business type.

Premium Node.js Backend Development by the Numbers
We track every metric that matters for your production system.
IRPR has shipped 200+ Node.js backends across 50+ countries. Our average time from idea to running API is 12 weeks. Every project goes through a 2-week Roadmap phase where we spec every endpoint, data model, and integration.
Production systems built by IRPR run at 99.9% uptime. We configure Sentry error tracking, New Relic performance monitoring, and automated rollbacks. Post-launch support includes 24-hour incident response.
IRPR vs Generic Node.js Shops
The difference is seniority, process, and predictability.
Generic shops assign junior developers, charge by the hour, and deliver incomplete code months late. They skip testing, ignore security, and leave you with technical debt.
IRPR assigns a senior Node.js engineer, works on a fixed price, and ships tested, documented code every 2 weeks. You own the repo, the CI/CD pipeline, and the production infrastructure.
- Junior developers with 1-2 years experience
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No written specs or roadmap
- Code is not tested or documented
- No monitoring or error tracking
- You don't own the source code
- Senior engineers with 10+ years Node.js experience
- Fixed price from the Roadmap phase
- Detailed spec with all endpoints and data models
- Test coverage with Jest, integration tests, and API tests
- Sentry error tracking and New Relic monitoring
- Full source code ownership in your GitHub repo
The IRPR Node.js Backend Development Process
Four phases from idea to production deployment.
We start with a 2-week Roadmap phase. Your senior Node.js architect maps every API endpoint, database schema, and external integration. You get a fixed price and a 8-12 week delivery date.
Then we build in 2-week sprints. Each sprint ships running code with test coverage. You review demo environments before we deploy to staging. Production handoff includes CI/CD, monitoring, and runbooks.
What Ships with Every Node.js Backend
Every deliverable is production-ready and fully documented.
We deliver source code in your private GitHub repo, a live staging environment, and a production deployment if you choose. All secrets are stored in AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault.
Every project includes a CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions that runs tests, builds Docker images, and deploys to staging on every push. You get full control to modify and extend.
- Source code in your GitHub repository under MIT or your license
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions: test, build, deploy
- PostgreSQL 15 schema with migrations (via Prisma or Knex)
- REST or GraphQL API specification (OpenAPI 3.1 or Apollo Studio)
- Authentication system with JWT or OAuth 2.0
- Sentry error tracking and New Relic performance monitoring
- Deployment playbook with runbooks for common incidents
- Containerized environment with Docker Compose for local dev
- Postman collection or Insomnia workspace for all endpoints
- Secret management with key rotation and access audit logs
What we ship in this practice.
Telemedicine API for a Health Startup
Built a HIPAA-compliant backend with Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL 15. Integrated Twilio Video for virtual visits and Stripe for billing. Reduced manual data entry by 8 hours per week.
Real-Time Fleet Tracking System
Created a WebSocket backend with Socket.IO and Redis to stream GPS coordinates from 1,000+ trucks. Achieved 200ms latency end-to-end. Processed 5 million events per day.
Subscription Billing Backend for SaaS
Designed a microservices backend with Nest.js and RabbitMQ for billing, notifications, and user management. Integrated Stripe Billing and handled 100,000+ active subscriptions with a 99.99% uptime SLA.
Payment Processing API for Fintech
Built a PCI-DSS compliant API gateway with Node.js and TypeScript. Connected to Plaid and Stripe to process 10,000 transactions per minute. Included fraud detection via Redis rate limiting.
Real Estate Listings Backend
Developed a GraphQL backend with Apollo Server 4 and MongoDB Atlas. Integrated MLS data feeds and Google Maps Geocoding. Scaled to handle 500,000 property searches per day.
EdTech Quiz Platform Backend
Created a FERPA compliant backend with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. Used Socket.IO for live quiz sessions. Supported 5,000 concurrent students with < 1 second question delivery.
Why teams hire us.
Senior engineers only, no juniors
Every engineer has 10+ years of Node.js experience. You communicate directly with the person writing the code. No account managers, no offshore teams.
Fixed price from week 2
After the Roadmap phase you get a fixed dollar amount for the entire backend. No hourly billing, no 'this scope change will cost extra' surprises. 98% of projects finish on budget.
8-12 week delivery to production
From kickoff to production deployment in 12 weeks max. We ship working code every 2 weeks. You see progress in real staging environments, not slide decks.
Full source code ownership
You own every line of code. We put it in your GitHub repo from day one. No licenses, no ongoing royalties, no lock-in.
Production grade from day one
Every backend gets Sentry error tracking, New Relic monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, and Docker containers. We don't build prototypes that need to be rewritten.
HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2 compliance ready
We build compliant backends for healthcare, fintech, and enterprise clients. Our team has shipped 40+ HIPAA compliant systems and 20+ PCI-DSS compliant payment backends.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
