Senior Scalable Backend Development PartnerBackend Development
We build backends that handle millions of requests. Fixed price, 8-12 weeks, senior engineers only.
IRPR is a senior scalable backend development partner. We build backends using Go, Node.js, Python, and Rust on AWS, GCP, or Azure with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka for high throughput.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 out of the box. Source code is yours day one.
CTOs hire us when their in-house team cannot scale. Startup founders hire us to build their first production backend. Enterprise architects hire us to modernize legacy systems without downtime.
Types of software we ship.
REST API development
Build stateless REST APIs with OpenAPI specs, JWT auth, and rate limiting on AWS API Gateway.
GraphQL backend
Implement GraphQL APIs using Apollo Server, resolver caching, and DataLoader for N+1 prevention.
Microservices architecture
Design event-driven microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and RabbitMQ for independent scaling.
Real-time backend
Build WebSocket or SSE backends for live dashboards, chat, and notifications using Socket.io or AWS AppSync.
Data pipeline backend
Create ETL pipelines with Apache Airflow, Snowflake, and dbt for batch and streaming data processing.
Serverless backend
Deploy serverless functions with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and Step Functions for zero-infrastructure scaling.
Backend for AI/ML
Serve ML models with FastAPI, TensorFlow Serving, and Redis caching for sub-100ms inference latency.
Legacy backend migration
Migrate monoliths to microservices with strangler fig pattern, zero-downtime deploys, and database sharding.
We build for every business type.
ecommerce: inventory, order processing, payment gateways, recommendation engines, search backends, fulfillment APIs, multi-tenant catalog services
healthcare: patient portals, EHR integrations, claims processing, telemedicine backends, lab data ingestion, HIPAA audit logs, pharmacy systems
fintech: payment rails, KYC workflows, fraud detection engines, ledger systems, trading backends, compliance reporting, banking APIs
SaaS: subscription management, billing engines, multi-tenant databases, API rate limiting, SSO integrations, usage analytics, notification backends
media and streaming: video transcoding pipelines, CDN integrations, content metadata APIs, user recommendation backends, live streaming backends, ad serving platforms
Why you need a senior scalable backend development partner
Your backend is the foundation of every product feature. If it breaks at scale, your business breaks.
IRPR has shipped 200+ backends for companies in 50+ countries. Every backend is designed for horizontal scaling from day one. We use AWS Auto Scaling, Kubernetes HPA, and read replicas to handle traffic spikes without manual intervention.
A senior scalable backend development partner means you get a team that has seen production failures at scale. We implement circuit breakers, retry logic, and dead-letter queues so your system degrades gracefully, not catastrophically.
Generic dev shops vs IRPR as your backend partner
Choosing the wrong partner costs you months of rewrites and lost revenue.
Most dev shops assign junior developers to backend work because it is less visible than frontend. They use boilerplate code, skip load testing, and hand off systems that crash at 10x traffic.
IRPR assigns senior engineers with 10+ years of backend experience. Every project includes load testing with k6, database indexing reviews, and a disaster recovery plan.
- Junior developers with 2 years experience
- No load testing before launch
- Monolithic architecture by default
- No CI/CD pipeline, manual deploys
- No database indexing or query optimization
- No monitoring, no alerting
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Load testing with k6 at 100x expected traffic
- Microservices or modular monolith based on needs
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
- Database indexing, query profiling, and read replicas
- Sentry error tracking and PagerDuty alerting
Our backend development process in 4 phases
From idea to production backend in 8-12 weeks with no surprises.
Every backend project follows the same proven process. We start with a Roadmap phase where we define the architecture, data model, and API contracts. This takes 1-2 weeks and costs a fixed fee.
After you approve the Roadmap, we build in 2-week sprints with demos every sprint. You see working code from week 3.
What ships with your backend
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden line items.
We ship everything you need to run, maintain, and scale your backend. Source code, infrastructure as code, and monitoring are all included in the fixed price.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and Docker
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform or Pulumi
- PostgreSQL database with indexes and migrations
- REST or GraphQL API with OpenAPI documentation
- Authentication with JWT or OAuth 2.0
- Error tracking with Sentry
- Logging with CloudWatch or Datadog
- Load test results from k6
- 30-day post-release warranty
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time inventory backend for an ecommerce platform
IRPR built a WebSocket backend that pushed inventory updates to 50,000 concurrent users. Used Node.js, Redis Pub/Sub, and AWS ECS. Reduced stockout errors by 95%.
HIPAA-compliant patient data backend
Built a backend for a telemedicine startup handling PHI. Used Python FastAPI, PostgreSQL with encryption at rest, and AWS KMS. Achieved HIPAA compliance in 10 weeks.
Payment processing backend for a fintech app
Developed a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment rail backend. Used Go, Stripe Connect, and AWS Nitro Enclaves. Processed $2M in transactions in the first month.
Multi-tenant SaaS backend with usage metering
Created a backend for a B2B SaaS platform serving 200 tenants. Used Django, PostgreSQL with row-level security, and Stripe for billing. Reduced tenant onboarding from 2 weeks to 1 day.
Video transcoding backend for a media company
Built an event-driven backend using AWS Lambda, S3, and MediaConvert. Transcodes 10,000 videos per day with 99.9% success rate. Cut transcoding costs by 40%.
IoT data ingestion backend for manufacturing
Designed a backend that ingests 1 million sensor readings per minute. Used Apache Kafka, Rust, and TimescaleDB. Reduced data latency from 5 seconds to 200ms.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every backend project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the total cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior engineers only
IRPR does not staff juniors. Every engineer on your project has 10+ years of backend experience. You get a team that has built systems for 200+ products in 50+ countries.
8-12 week delivery
We ship production-ready backends in 8-12 weeks. Our process is optimized for speed without cutting corners. 98% of projects deliver on time.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code from day one. No licensing, no royalties, no vendor lock-in. Source code is in your repository from the first commit.
Compliance built in
We build backends that pass HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 audits. Our team has implemented encryption, access controls, and audit logging for 50+ compliance projects.
Production monitoring included
Every backend ships with Sentry error tracking, Datadog metrics, and PagerDuty alerts. We do not throw code over the wall and walk away. You get a 30-day warranty.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
