Scalable Backend Development AgencyBackend Development
We build backend systems that handle millions of requests. Senior engineers only, 8-12 week MVPs, fixed pricing.
IRPR builds scalable backend systems using Node.js, Go, Python, and serverless frameworks on AWS Lambda and Kubernetes. We design databases with PostgreSQL, Redis, and DynamoDB, and deploy with Docker and Terraform for repeatable infrastructure.
A typical scalable backend ships in 8 to 12 weeks. Pricing starts at $80K and goes up to $250K depending on complexity. All projects meet compliance standards like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 where required.
We work with CTOs scaling their SaaS platform, startup founders needing a production-ready backend, enterprise teams migrating from monoliths to microservices, and product managers launching data-intensive applications.
Types of software we ship.
API Gateway
Centralized entry point for microservices with rate limiting and auth. Built with Kong or AWS API Gateway.
Microservices Platform
Decoupled services communicating via gRPC or message queues. Deployed on Kubernetes with auto-scaling.
Real-time Data Pipeline
Stream processing with Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis. Handles millions of events per second.
Serverless Backend
Lambda functions with API Gateway and DynamoDB. Scales to zero when idle, no server management.
GraphQL API
Single endpoint for flexible queries. Powered by Apollo Server and federated schemas.
Event-Driven Architecture
Asynchronous workflows using event buses (EventBridge, RabbitMQ). Decouples services for resilience.
Backend for Mobile Apps
REST/GraphQL APIs with push notifications, file uploads, and offline sync. Uses Firebase or custom Node.js.
Cloud-Native Backend
Fully containerized on AWS ECS or Google Cloud Run. CI/CD with GitHub Actions and infrastructure as code.
We build for every business type.
SaaS Platforms
Fintech
Healthcare
Ecommerce
Media & Streaming
What a Scalable Backend Development Agency Delivers
A scalable backend is more than code. It is infrastructure that grows with your users.
IRPR designs backend systems that handle 10x traffic spikes without breaking. We use load testing with k6 and artillery to validate performance before launch. Every system includes auto-scaling, database replication, and caching layers.
Our clients see measurable results: one SaaS platform reduced API response time from 800ms to 45ms after migrating to our GraphQL backend. Another fintech client processed 2 million transactions in the first month with zero downtime.
Why Hire IRPR as Your Backend Development Agency
Not all development shops deliver production-ready, scalable backends. Here is the difference.
Generic agencies often use junior developers and bill by the hour. That leads to scope creep, technical debt, and no ownership of the final code. IRPR works differently.
We assign senior engineers only, give you a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase, and hand over full source code with CI/CD pipelines. You own everything.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior or offshore teams
- You do not own the code
- No load testing or monitoring
- Vague timelines, frequent delays
- One-size-fits-all tech stack
- Fixed price after Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers only (10+ years)
- Full code ownership from day one
- Load testing, Sentry monitoring, CloudWatch
- 8-12 week delivery with 98% on-time
- Best-fit stack: Node.js, Go, AWS, PostgreSQL
Our Process for Building Scalable Backends
We follow a four-phase process that de-risks your investment and delivers a production-ready backend.
Every project starts with a Discovery call where we map your requirements, data model, and growth projections. Then we move into the Roadmap phase where we produce a fixed-price contract with a detailed technical specification.
The Build phase uses two-week sprints with demos and code reviews. Finally, Release includes deployment, monitoring setup, and a handoff document.
What Ships with Every Backend Project
Every project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden extras.
You get a complete, production-ready backend with all the tooling needed to operate and extend it. IRPR does not cut corners on infrastructure or documentation.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or Pulumi)
- Load testing report (k6 or Artillery)
- Sentry error tracking and CloudWatch logs
- Postman or OpenAPI documentation
- Database migration scripts (Flyway or Prisma)
- One-page architecture diagram
- Deployment runbook
- 30-day post-launch support
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time Analytics Backend for SaaS
Built a streaming pipeline with Kafka and ClickHouse that ingests 50,000 events per second. The client reduced dashboard load time from 12 seconds to under 1 second. Tech stack: Node.js, Kafka, ClickHouse, AWS ECS.
Payment Processing Backend for Fintech
Designed a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway handling 10,000 transactions per minute. Integrated with Stripe and Plaid. The client passed SOC 2 audit on first attempt. Tech stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Stripe API, HashiCorp Vault.
HIPAA-Compliant Backend for Telemedicine
Built a patient scheduling and video consultation backend with end-to-end encryption. Handles 500 concurrent sessions with under 200ms latency. Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, Twilio Video, AWS Fargate.
Ecommerce Inventory Backend for Multi-Store
Created a centralized inventory system syncing across 15 warehouses and 3 online stores. Reduced stock discrepancies by 90%. Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Shopify API.
Video Streaming Backend for Media Platform
Developed a transcoding pipeline and CDN integration that processes 10,000 videos daily. Achieved 99.99% availability during peak hours. Tech stack: Node.js, FFmpeg, AWS MediaConvert, CloudFront.
IoT Data Pipeline Backend for Manufacturing
Built a serverless ingestion pipeline for 100,000 connected sensors. Data is processed in real time and stored in a time-series database. Reduced alert latency from 5 minutes to 10 seconds. Tech stack: AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, InfluxDB, MQTT.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed Price, Not Hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior Engineers Only
Our team averages 10+ years of experience. No junior or offshore developers. Every engineer has shipped backend systems at scale for companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Stripe.
Full Code Ownership
You own every line of code, every configuration file, and every deployment script. There is no lock-in, no hidden licenses, no ongoing fees. Your code is in your repository from day one.
8-12 Week MVPs
We deliver production-ready backends in 8 to 12 weeks. 98% of our projects ship on time. Our process is optimized for speed without sacrificing quality or security.
Compliance Built In
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant backends from the start. Our engineers implement encryption, audit logs, access controls, and data residency requirements as part of the architecture.
Post-Launch Support
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. We monitor your system, fix any issues, and help your team take over. Extended support contracts are available at $5K per month.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
