Top Backend API Development TeamAPI Development
IRPR builds scalable, secure backend APIs for SaaS, fintech, and healthcare. Our senior engineers ship production-ready code in 12 weeks flat.
IRPR builds backend APIs using Node.js, Python, Go, and .NET. We design RESTful and GraphQL endpoints that handle millions of requests per day.
Every project ships with a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions, Sentry error tracking, and auto-generated API docs via Swagger. Typical delivery is 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing from $80K-$250K. We build to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards.
Founders building a SaaS MVP need a backend that scales from day one. CTOs at mid-market companies need to modernize legacy APIs. Product managers launching a new feature need a dedicated API team that ships on time.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build RESTful APIs with Node.js, Python, or Go. Full CRUD, authentication, rate limiting, and OpenAPI docs out of the box.
GraphQL API Development
Design flexible GraphQL schemas with Apollo or Relay. Single endpoint, typed queries, real-time subscriptions, and efficient data fetching.
Microservices API Architecture
Break monolithic backends into microservices with Docker and Kubernetes. Each service independently deployable and scalable.
WebSocket API Development
Implement real-time bidirectional communication for chat, live updates, and gaming. Uses Socket.IO or WebSocket standards.
Third-Party API Integration
Connect your platform to Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio, and 200+ other APIs. Reliable sync, error handling, and logging.
API Gateway Implementation
Centralize authentication, rate limiting, and routing with AWS API Gateway or Kong. Manage multiple backend services behind one endpoint.
Backend for Frontend (BFF) API
Create dedicated API layers per client type (web, mobile, IoT). Optimize data shape and reduce round trips.
Internal Tool API
Build internal APIs for admin panels, reporting dashboards, and automation. Secure by default with role-based access.
We build for every business type.

Backend API Development by the Numbers
Our team has delivered 200+ backend APIs for clients across 50 countries.
With a 12-week average build time and 98% on-time delivery, we move fast without cutting corners. Every API is built with automated testing, monitoring, and documentation.
Our APIs handle over 500 million requests monthly across all client projects. We maintain 99.9% uptime with proactive alerting via PagerDuty and Datadog.
Generic Dev Shop vs. IRPRs Backend API Team
Not all backend teams are the same. Heres how we compare.
Many development shops assign junior engineers to your project and charge by the hour. You end up with incomplete docs, no CI/CD, and security as an afterthought.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only, fixes the price upfront, and ships a production-ready API with full documentation, automated tests, and cloud deployment.
- Hourly billing that balloons budgets
- Junior engineers learning on your dime
- No automated CI/CD pipeline
- API docs are an afterthought
- Security review not included
- Code ownership unclear
- Fixed price from $80K
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- CI/CD on GitHub Actions from day one
- OpenAPI docs auto-generated
- HIPAA/PCI/SOC 2 compliance built-in
- Full code ownership on delivery
Our Backend API Development Process
From idea to production in 12 weeks.
We follow a structured 4-phase process that eliminates guesswork. Each phase ends with a deliverable you can review and approve.
No black boxes. You see progress every week in a shared Trello board and Slack channel.

What we ship in this practice.
SaaS Subscription Backend API
Built a multi-tenant API for a B2B SaaS startup using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Stripe. Handles 10,000 concurrent users with sub-50ms response times.
Telehealth API with HIPAA Compliance
Developed a real-time video appointment API for a healthcare platform. Uses WebRTC, AWS KMS for encryption, and passed HIPAA audit in week 8.
Payment Processing API for Fintech
Created a PCI-DSS compliant payment orchestration API with Python, Django, and Braintree. Reduced transaction failures by 40% through intelligent routing.
Ecommerce Product Catalog API
Designed a GraphQL API for a multi-vendor marketplace using Ruby on Rails and Elasticsearch. Indexed 2 million products with search results returning in 150ms.
Real Estate MLS Data API
Aggregated MLS data from 15 sources into a single REST API for a real estate platform. Used Node.js, Redis caching, and PostgreSQL. Cut data refresh time from 4 hours to 2 minutes.
EdTech Student Progress API
Built a FERPA-compliant API for a learning platform using Go and GraphQL. Supports 50,000 students with real-time progress tracking and analytics.
Why teams hire us.
Senior Engineers Only
Every project is staffed with engineers who have 10+ years of experience. No junior developers, no subcontractors, no freelancers.
Fixed Price, Not Hourly
You get a fixed price quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing means no budget surprises.
Compliance Built-In
We build to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards from day one. Our compliance checklist is part of every sprint.
12-Week Delivery Guarantee
We ship production-ready APIs in 8-12 weeks. Over 98% of our projects finish on time.
Full Code Ownership
You own everything we build. Source code, documentation, infrastructure scripts - all in your repository.
