Backend API consulting by the numbers
When you hire senior backend API development consultants from IRPR, you get predictable delivery and real results.
We have shipped over 200 APIs and full-stack products across 50 countries. Our average timeline from kickoff to production is 12 weeks, with 98% of projects delivered on time.
Every API we deploy achieves 99.9% uptime in production. Our engineers build with monitoring, redundancy, and auto-scaling as standard practice.
Typical consulting vs. IRPR
Most backend consultants hand you code and disappear. IRPR builds a complete, deployable system.
Generic dev shops often skip API design reviews and deliver undocumented endpoints. You end up spending weeks fixing the integration yourself.
IRPR treats every API as a product. We design the contract first, write tests, and ship a fully documented system with monitoring and a runbook.
- No API design review
- Vague timelines
- Hourly billing
- No post-launch support
- No test coverage
- Code with no documentation
- API design review in week 1
- Fixed 8-12 week timeline
- Fixed price after Roadmap
- 2 weeks free post-launch support
- 100% test coverage
- OpenAPI docs auto-generated
Our consulting process
We follow a proven 4-phase process to deliver your backend API on time and on budget.
Every engagement begins with a two-day Roadmap phase where we define the API contract, data model, and deployment architecture. You approve the plan before we write a single line of code.
After approval, senior engineers build the API in 8-12 weeks with continuous delivery and weekly sprint reviews. You see progress every Friday.
What ships with every API project
Every engagement includes these deliverables by default. No hidden extras.
Everything here is part of the fixed price. You get the complete system, not just the code.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- OpenAPI 3.0 documentation
- Postman collection for testing
- Sentry error monitoring
- Datadog or Grafana dashboards
- Security scan report (OWASP)
- Deployment runbook
- 1-month free maintenance
- Weekly progress reports

We implement OWASP top 10 protections, rate limiting, and encryption by default. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 controls are included.
Post-launch support included
You get 2 weeks of free post-launch support to handle any issues. Production monitoring and hotfixes are covered.
