Scalable Backend Development ServicesBackend Development
Build backend systems that handle millions of requests without breaking. We ship production-ready microservices in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing.
IRPR builds scalable backend systems using Node.js, Go, Python, and cloud-native architectures. We design REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven systems, and fault-tolerant data pipelines that handle millions of requests per day.
Our MVPs ship in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing between $80K and $250K. Every project meets compliance standards including HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS. We provide 99.9% uptime SLAs on production deployments.
Clients include CTOs scaling their platform after product-market fit, founders needing a production-ready backend from scratch, product teams migrating monoliths to microservices, and enterprise architects optimizing cloud costs.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Design versioned, documented REST APIs with OpenAPI specs. Built with Express.js, FastAPI, or Go Chi router.
GraphQL API development
Build flexible GraphQL APIs using Apollo Server or Hasura. Reduce over-fetching and frontend load times by 40%.
Microservices architecture
Decompose monoliths into independent services with gRPC, NATS, or Kafka for inter-service communication.
Real-time data streaming
Implement Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis pipelines for event-driven processing. Process 10k+ events per second.
Backend as a Service (BaaS)
Create managed backend layers with Supabase or Firebase that auto-scale. Includes authentication, file storage, and database.
Serverless backend development
Build serverless functions on AWS Lambda or Cloudflare Workers. Pay only per invocation, auto-scale to zero.
Database design and optimization
Design relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB) schemas. Reduce query latency by 60% with indexing and caching.
API gateway and rate limiting
Deploy Kong or AWS API Gateway with OAuth2, rate limiting, and caching. Handle spikes without backend overload.
We build for every business type.
SaaS platforms
Ecommerce
Fintech
Healthcare

Why scalable backend development services matter
A backend that cannot scale kills growth. IRPR builds infrastructure that handles 10x traffic spikes without downtime.
We have shipped 200+ production backends. Our team uses horizontal scaling, caching (Redis, CDN), and database sharding from day one. Every service includes auto-scaling groups and health checks.
Our clients see 99.9% uptime even during Black Friday traffic. One ecommerce client scaled from 1k to 100k daily requests after migrating to our microservice architecture.
How IRPR separates from generic dev shops
Most agencies bill hourly and skip architecture. IRPR delivers fixed price, documented, and monitored backends.
Generic shops often build a single server that crashes under load. They use no infrastructure-as-code and no staging environments. Clients end up paying extra for bug fixes.
IRPR starts with a Roadmap phase (week 2) that defines architecture, cost, and timeline. We use Terraform, CI/CD, and Sentry error tracking. You own the code and all credentials.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No architecture diagram
- Single server deployment
- No database indexing plan
- No load testing
- No monitoring beyond basic logs
- Fixed price after Roadmap phase
- Detailed architecture docs
- Kubernetes or auto-scaling groups
- PostgreSQL with proper indexing and caching
- Load test with 10x target traffic
- Datadog or Grafana dashboards
Our backend development process
We follow a proven 4-phase framework: Idea - Roadmap - Product - Release. No surprises, no scope creep.
In the Idea phase (week 1), we define technical requirements and choose the stack. The Roadmap phase (week 2) produces a fixed-price contract with detailed timelines.
The Product phase (weeks 3-10) builds your backend incrementally with weekly demos. The Release phase (weeks 11-12) deploys to production with monitoring and documentation.
What ships with every scalable backend project
Every backend we build includes these deliverables by default. No hidden extras.
We believe in full transparency. All code, credentials, and infrastructure access are yours from day one.
- Source code in your private GitHub/Bitbucket repo
- CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI)
- PostgreSQL or DynamoDB database with schema migrations
- REST or GraphQL API documentation (Swagger/RAML)
- Load test report (k6 or Locust with 10x target users)
- Production monitoring (Datadog, Sentry, uptime robot)
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or CloudFormation)
- Deployment runbook and architecture diagram
- Full ownership and admin access to all accounts
- 30-day post-launch support
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS platform backend for a fintech startup
Built a multi-tenant backend with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Supports 10k concurrent users with sub-100ms API responses. Reduced transaction processing time by 80%. Stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS ECS.
Real-time analytics pipeline for an ecommerce company
Designed an event-driven data pipeline using Kafka and Flink. Processes 5 million events per day with <1 second latency. Enabled real-time inventory updates and fraud detection. Stack: Kafka, Apache Flink, Go, MongoDB.
HIPAA-compliant backend for a telehealth platform
Delivered a scalable backend with encrypted data storage and audit logging. Handles 5k concurrent video consultations daily. Passed HIPAA audit on first attempt. Stack: Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL, AWS with HIPAA-eligible services.
Microservices migration for a logistics company
Migrated a monolithic order management system to 12 microservices. Decreased deployment time from 2 hours to 15 minutes. Achieved 99.99% uptime during peak shipping season. Stack: Go, gRPC, Kubernetes, NATS.
GraphQL gateway for a media content platform
Built a unified GraphQL API gateway aggregating data from 5 backend services. Reduced frontend load times by 55%. Stack: Apollo Server, GraphQL, Redis, Node.js, AWS Lambda.
Serverless backend for a travel booking app
Constructed a fully serverless backend using AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. Scales from zero to 10k requests per minute without manual intervention. Cut infrastructure costs by 70%. Stack: AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudFront.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every backend project gets a fixed quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 10+ years of backend experience. Each engineer has built systems handling 100k+ requests per second. No juniors or offshore bodies.
Compliance built in
We deliver HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS compliant backends. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We provide full audit trails.
Full code ownership
You receive all source code, infrastructure configs, and credentials. IRPR has no licensing or lock-in. You can deploy anywhere.
2-week kickoff
We start the Idea phase within 2 business days of signing. No lengthy sales cycles or discovery workshops. You see code by week 2.
Dedicated project manager
Every project has a single point of contact who updates you weekly with a Slack summary. You never talk to account executives or support chatbots.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
