Leading FastAPI Development FirmDevelopment Firm
We build high-performance APIs in 12 weeks. Fixed price, senior engineers, zero surprises.
IRPR is a leading FastAPI development firm. We build production-grade APIs using FastAPI, Python 3.12, SQLAlchemy 2.0, Pydantic v2, and async PostgreSQL. Every project ships with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and OpenAPI documentation.
An MVP with IRPR takes 12 weeks and costs $80K-$250K. We handle everything from architecting async endpoints to deploying on AWS ECS or Kubernetes. Our FastAPI backends are built for HIPAA compliance, PCI-DSS Level 1, and SOC 2 Type II.
Founders hire IRPR to ship a SaaS MVP on FastAPI in 12 weeks. CTOs hire us to replace a slow Django monolith with a FastAPI microservice architecture. Product managers hire us to build a real-time data API using FastAPI and WebSockets. Enterprise architects hire us to migrate legacy REST APIs to FastAPI.

Why IRPR is the leading FastAPI development firm
We have shipped 200+ production FastAPI backends across 10 industries since 2020.
IRPR started building FastAPI apps in 2020, right after the framework hit 1.0. We chose FastAPI for its automatic OpenAPI docs, async-first design, and Pydantic validation. Today, 80% of our new projects use FastAPI as the primary backend framework.
Every FastAPI project at IRPR follows a fixed playbook: you get async endpoints, type-validated request models, automated migration scripts with Alembic, and a Grafana dashboard monitoring request latency and error rates. We deploy to AWS ECS Fargate with auto-scaling and zero-downtime rolling updates.
How IRPR compares to generic FastAPI development shops
Hiring a generalist agency for your FastAPI backend often leads to scope creep, slow performance, and security gaps.
Many development shops write FastAPI code but treat it like Flask with decorators. They skip async endpoint optimization, neglect connection pooling, and deploy without proper monitoring. That works for a demo but fails under production load.
IRPR is a leading FastAPI development firm because we specialize in the framework's strengths: async I/O, dependency injection, and automatic validation. Every endpoint is load-tested with Locust. Every database query is profiled for N+1 issues. Every deployment includes a canary release.
- Uses synchronous code and calls it FastAPI
- No automated API documentation
- Skips async database session management
- Deploys without CI/CD or health checks
- No load testing before production
- Hourly billing with no fixed budget
- Async endpoints with uvicorn and Gunicorn workers
- Auto-generated OpenAPI spec with Swagger UI
- Connection pooling with asyncpg and Redis cache
- GitHub Actions CI/CD with Sentry error tracking
- Locust load tests at 10,000 concurrent users
- Fixed price from $80K, roadmap delivered week 2
Our FastAPI development process in 4 phases
From a 90-minute call to a running API in 12 weeks. Here is exactly what happens.
Phase 1 is the discovery call. You talk to a senior FastAPI engineer (not a salesperson). We review your data models, third-party API integrations, and performance requirements. You get a written project estimate within 48 hours.
Phase 2 is the Roadmap. We produce a detailed technical specification: endpoint list, database schema, authentication flow, deployment architecture, and a fixed price. You approve the Roadmap before any code is written.
What ships with every FastAPI backend from IRPR
Every FastAPI project includes these deliverables. No optional extras. No hidden costs.
Our standard delivery includes a fully containerized FastAPI application on AWS ECS Fargate with Terraform infrastructure as code. The API is documented via OpenAPI 3.1 and Swagger UI. You get a Postman collection for manual testing.
Monitoring is built in from day one. We configure Sentry for error tracking, Grafana for metrics, and CloudWatch for log aggregation. You get alerts on p95 latency exceeding 500ms.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- FastAPI application with async endpoints and Pydantic v2 models
- Alembic migration scripts for PostgreSQL
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with automated tests
- Dockerfile and docker-compose for local development
- Staging environment on AWS ECS Fargate
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- Grafana dashboard with request count, latency, and error rate
- OpenAPI 3.1 specification served at /docs
- Postman collection with sample requests
What we ship in this practice.
