Why choose a professional backend development agency like IRPR
You need a backend that scales, stays secure, and ships on time. Here is what we deliver.
IRPR has shipped over 200 backend systems across 50 countries. Our engineers average 10+ years of experience building APIs, microservices, and data pipelines. We use a proven 4-phase process (Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release) to eliminate uncertainty.
Every project includes a fixed price quote at the end of the Roadmap phase (week 2). You know the budget before any development starts. No hourly billing, no scope creep. We also include 30 days of free post-launch support.
Generic dev shops vs. a professional backend development agency
Not all agencies are the same. Here is why IRPR delivers backends that actually work in production.
Generic agencies often understaff senior engineers, use junior talent, and treat backend as an afterthought. The result is slow APIs, security holes, and rewrites after a year. IRPR assigns a senior architect to every project from day one.
We enforce strict code reviews, automated testing (90%+ coverage), and CI/CD pipelines. Our backends pass SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS audits. We document every endpoint with OpenAPI and provide Postman collections.
- Junior or mid-level engineers on backend work
- No dedicated architect
- Hourly billing with no cost cap
- Minimal testing, no CI/CD
- No compliance expertise
- Handover without documentation
- Senior engineers only (10+ years average)
- Architect assigned from day one
- Fixed price after 2-week roadmap
- 90%+ test coverage, CI/CD out of the box
- SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS compliant by design
- Full API docs, runbooks, and Postman collections
Our process for professional backend development
We follow a transparent 4-phase process designed to mitigate risk and deliver on time.
IRPR's process starts with the Idea phase, where we understand your domain and technical constraints. The Roadmap phase (week 2) produces a detailed specification, architecture diagram, and fixed price quote.
The Product phase (weeks 3-10) is where we build the backend iteratively, releasing updates every 2 weeks. The Release phase (weeks 11-12) includes load testing, security audit, and production deployment. You own all code from day one.
What ships with every professional backend project
Every project includes these deliverables by default. No extra charges.
We believe in transparent delivery. You receive everything needed to run and maintain your backend independently. Source code is in your repository from the first commit.
Documentation is not an afterthought. Every endpoint is documented, every environment variable is listed, and every deployment step is described.
- Full source code in your own GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI)
- Automated test suite with 90%+ coverage
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger) and Postman collection
- Deployment runbook and architecture diagrams
- Sentry error monitoring and Datadog performance dashboards
- Dockerized development and production environments
- Database migration scripts and seed data
- Security audit report and compliance evidence
- 30 days of free post-launch support
