Scalable Backend Development ConsultantsDevelopment Consultants
We build backend systems that handle millions of requests without a hitch. You get fixed pricing, a clear roadmap, and full code ownership.
IRPR builds scalable backend systems using Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes. We design microservices architectures that handle traffic spikes without breaking.
We ship production-ready code in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing from $80K to $250K. Our systems meet SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliance standards.
We work with CTOs scaling their platform, startup founders needing an MVP that won't crash, enterprise architects migrating from monoliths, and product managers launching new features.
Types of software we ship.
API Gateway Development
Build a single entry point for your microservices with Kong or AWS API Gateway. Route traffic, enforce rate limits, and log every request.
Microservices Architecture
Decompose your monolith into independent services running on Kubernetes. Each service scales independently based on demand.
Event-Driven Systems
Process asynchronous events with Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ. Handle spikes in data ingestion without blocking your main services.
Real-Time Data Processing
Stream and analyze data in real time using Apache Flink or Spark. Deliver sub-second insights for dashboards and alerts.
Database Optimization
Tune PostgreSQL or MySQL queries, add read replicas, and implement caching with Redis. Reduce latency by 40% or more.
Authentication & Authorization Systems
Implement OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and RBAC with Auth0 or custom solutions. Secure your APIs for millions of users.
Cloud-Native Backend
Run your backend entirely on AWS ECS or Google Cloud Run. Auto-scale containers based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics.
Scalable REST/GraphQL APIs
Design versioned APIs in Node.js or Go with Apollo GraphQL or Express. Support pagination, caching, and batch queries out of the box.
We build for every business type.
SaaS Companies
Ecommerce Platforms
Fintech
Healthcare
Media & Content
Why Scalable Backend Development Matters
A backend that collapses under load destroys user trust and revenue.
IRPR has delivered 200+ backend systems for startups and enterprises across 50 countries. Our clients see zero downtime during 10x traffic spikes because we design for scale from day one.
We use load testing with k6 and Locust during the build phase. Every endpoint is tested against projected peak loads before you go live.
Choosing the Right Backend Consultant
Not all backend consultants deliver systems that scale without a rewrite.
Generic dev shops often cut corners by skipping load testing and using shared hosting. They deliver code that works at launch but fails under growth.
IRPR builds for scale from the first sprint. We set up CI/CD, container orchestration, and monitoring before writing business logic.
- No load testing until production
- Shared database with no read replicas
- Monolithic code that is hard to split
- No autoscaling configuration
- Manual deployments after hours
- No caching strategy
- Load testing in every sprint with k6
- PostgreSQL with read replicas and Redis cache
- Microservices or modular monolith ready to split
- Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler configured
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions deploys on every merge
- Multi-layer caching: CDN, Redis, in-memory
Our Backend Development Process
We follow a four-phase process that keeps your project on time and on budget.
Each phase ends with a deliverable you can review and approve. No black box, no surprises.
What Ships With Your Backend
Every scalable backend from IRPR comes with a complete infrastructure and tooling package.
You get more than just code. We deliver the entire operational layer so your team can run and scale the system immediately.
- Source code in your private GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with automated tests
- Dockerized services with Docker Compose for local dev
- Kubernetes manifests for staging and production
- Terraform scripts for cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- Log aggregation with ELK stack or Datadog
- Load testing reports from k6 in every sprint
- API documentation auto-generated with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Post-launch monitoring dashboard with uptime alerts
What we ship in this practice.
Scalable Payment Processing Backend
Built a fintech backend that processes 500 transactions per second using Node.js, Stripe Connect, and PostgreSQL with read replicas. Reduced settlement time from 3 days to 12 hours.
Real-Time Chat System for Media Platform
Developed a chat backend handling 1M concurrent users using Go, WebSockets, and Redis Pub/Sub. Achieved sub-100ms message delivery with zero downtime during peak events.
Ecommerce Checkout API
Designed a checkout microservice using TypeScript, Express, and MongoDB. Handled Black Friday traffic with 50K orders per minute. Uptime was 99.99% during the event.
Healthcare Data Integration Backend
Created a HIPAA-compliant backend that ingests HL7 and FHIR data from 10+ EHR systems. Uses Apache Kafka for streaming and PostgreSQL for storage. Reduced data latency from 2 hours to 5 minutes.
Multi-Tenant SaaS Backend
Built a scalable backend for a B2B SaaS product using Django, Celery, and PostgreSQL. Supports 10,000 tenants with row-level security. Each tenant sees only their data with no performance degradation.
Real-Time Collaboration Backend
Developed a backend for a collaborative document editor using Node.js, Socket.io, and Redis. Supports 1000 simultaneous editors per document with operational transformation. Load tested to handle 100K concurrent connections.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed Price, Predictable Budget
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the exact cost before we start coding.
Senior Engineers Only
Our team consists of engineers with 10+ years each. No juniors, no interns. Every line of code is written and reviewed by someone who has scaled systems for Fortune 500 companies.
Full Code Ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and infrastructure scripts from day one. We deploy to your cloud accounts and transfer repos to your organization.
Start in 1-2 Weeks
We can kick off your project within 1-2 weeks of signing. Our async-first model lets you start immediately without scheduling delays.
Compliance Built In
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant systems by default. Encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs, and access controls are part of every backend.
Post-Launch Support Included
After launch, we provide 30 days of war-room support and a knowledge transfer session. Your team can take over with confidence.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
