Professional Backend Web Development StudioBackend Studio
We build production-ready backend systems in 8-12 weeks. Fixed price, senior engineers, full ownership.
IRPR is a professional backend web development studio that builds server-side systems for companies that need reliability at scale. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS to create APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that handle millions of requests per day.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price starting at $80K and going up to $250K for complex systems. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. You get full source code, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring from day one.
CTOs hire us when their in-house team is stretched thin. Founders hire us to build their MVP before fundraising. Enterprise teams hire us to modernize legacy backend systems. We work async-first with 4+ hours of daily overlap with US time zones.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless RESTful APIs with Express.js or FastAPI. Includes OpenAPI specs, rate limiting, and authentication via Auth0.
GraphQL backend
Implement GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server or Hasura. Supports real-time subscriptions and efficient data fetching for complex UIs.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into Docker-based microservices with RabbitMQ or Kafka for async communication and independent scaling.
Real-time backend systems
Build WebSocket or SSE-based backends for live dashboards, chat, and collaborative tools using Socket.io or AWS AppSync.
Data pipeline and ETL
Create ETL pipelines with Apache Airflow or AWS Glue to process, transform, and load data into Redshift or Snowflake.
Serverless backend
Deploy serverless functions on AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions with API Gateway and DynamoDB for auto-scaling.
Database design and optimization
Design normalized schemas in PostgreSQL, implement indexing strategies, and use Redis caching to reduce query latency by 60%.
Third-party API integration
Integrate Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, Salesforce, and other APIs with retry logic, webhook handling, and rate limit management.
We build for every business type.
SaaS platforms
Ecommerce and marketplaces
Healthcare applications
Fintech platforms
Real estate and logistics
Our backend development process
Every project follows a four-phase process that eliminates guesswork and keeps delivery on schedule.
We start with the Idea phase where we map your requirements into a clear technical specification. This takes 1 week and results in a documented plan with wireframes and data models.
The Roadmap phase produces a fixed-price quote and a week-by-week timeline. You approve the scope before any code is written. No surprises, no scope creep.
Generic dev shop vs professional backend studio
Not all development teams are the same. Here is what sets IRPR apart as a professional backend web development studio.
Generic shops often assign junior developers to your project and bill by the hour. They lack specialization in backend architecture and monitoring.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only. We use a fixed-price model and include production monitoring, CI/CD, and documentation in every project.
- junior or mid-level developers
- hourly billing with no cap
- no monitoring or alerting included
- unclear ownership of code
- no compliance certifications
- handoff without documentation
- senior engineers with 8+ years experience
- fixed price from Roadmap phase
- Sentry error tracking, Datadog monitoring
- full source code in your GitHub repo
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 compliance
- OpenAPI docs and architecture diagrams
How we build your backend in 4 phases
Our process is designed to de-risk your investment and deliver a production-ready backend on time.
Phase 1 (Idea) is a 1-week discovery sprint. We interview stakeholders, map data flows, and produce a technical specification with ERDs and API endpoints.
Phase 2 (Roadmap) produces a fixed-price quote and a week-by-week schedule. You approve the plan before any development begins.
What ships with every backend project
Every project includes a complete production-ready delivery package. No hidden fees or missing pieces.
You get more than just code. We include everything needed to run your backend in production from day one.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Docker Compose or Kubernetes configs
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation
- Database schema and migration scripts
- Load testing results with k6
- Security audit report (OWASP top 10)
- Post-deployment runbook and architecture diagram
- 1 month of post-launch support
What we ship in this practice.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend
Built a subscription management backend with Stripe Billing, PostgreSQL row-level security, and Redis caching. Reduced API response times by 40% and supported 10,000 tenants on day one. Tech stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Stripe, AWS ECS.
HIPAA-compliant patient portal
Developed a secure API for patient data management with end-to-end encryption and audit logging. Passed HIPAA audit on first submission. Tech stack: Python FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS KMS, Auth0.
Real-time logistics tracking system
Created a WebSocket-based backend for live fleet tracking using GPS data. Handled 50,000 concurrent connections with 99.9% uptime. Tech stack: Go, Redis Pub/Sub, WebSockets, AWS IoT Core.
PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway
Built a tokenization service for credit card data that passed PCI-DSS Level 1 certification. Processed $2M in transactions in the first month. Tech stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe Connect, AWS VPC.
MLS data aggregation API
Designed an ETL pipeline that ingests property listings from 50+ MLS sources into a unified API. Reduced data latency from 24 hours to 15 minutes. Tech stack: Python, Apache Airflow, PostgreSQL, AWS S3.
Ecommerce order processing backend
Implemented a distributed order processing system with inventory sync across 3 warehouses. Handled 10,000 orders per day during Black Friday with zero downtime. Tech stack: Node.js, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Shopify API.
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.
Senior engineers only
All engineers have 8+ years of backend experience. No juniors, no offshore teams. You work directly with the people building your system.
Production-ready from day one
Every project ships with CI/CD, monitoring (Sentry, Datadog), and load testing. Your backend is ready for production traffic on launch day.
Full code ownership
You own 100% of the source code, infrastructure configs, and documentation. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no restrictions.
Compliance built in
We build to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards from the start. Our team has passed 12 compliance audits across healthcare and fintech projects.
8-12 week delivery
Most backends ship in 8-12 weeks from kickoff. We use a proven sprint structure with weekly demos so you see progress every step.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
