Why you need a senior Node.js API development company
A junior team can build an API that works. A senior team builds one that scales, stays secure, and ships on time.
IRPR has delivered 200+ Node.js APIs for companies across 50 countries. Our senior engineers average 10+ years of experience. We use Node.js 20, Express 4, and PostgreSQL 16 to build APIs that handle 10,000+ requests per second.
Every API includes automated tests (Jest, Supertest), CI/CD via GitHub Actions, and monitoring with Sentry and Datadog. We enforce security from day one: input validation, rate limiting, and encrypted secrets.
The difference between generic dev shops and IRPR
Not all Node.js development companies are equal. Here is what sets IRPR apart.
Most generic dev shops assign junior developers, charge by the hour, and deliver late. They skip testing and leave you with an API that breaks in production.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only, gives a fixed price upfront, and ships in 12-14 weeks. Every API includes automated tests, CI/CD, and a 30-day warranty.
- Junior developers with 1-3 years experience
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No automated tests or CI/CD
- Delivers 3-6 months late
- No compliance expertise
- Code ownership unclear
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Fixed price from $80K to $250K
- Automated tests and CI/CD by default
- Ships in 12-14 weeks
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 compliance built in
- You own 100% of the code
Our Node.js API development process
We follow a four-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. Each phase has clear deliverables and milestones.
In the Idea phase we map your requirements and choose the right architecture. The Roadmap phase delivers a fixed-price proposal with a detailed technical specification.
The Product phase is where we build your API in 8-10 weeks. The Release phase includes deployment, monitoring setup, and a 30-day warranty.
What ships with your Node.js API
Every project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden extras.
You get more than just an API. We deliver a full production-ready system with documentation, tests, and deployment scripts.
All code is in your repository from day one. We use GitHub for version control and project management.
- Source code in your private GitHub repository
- REST or GraphQL API with OpenAPI documentation
- Automated test suite (Jest, Supertest, 80%+ coverage)
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Docker containers and docker-compose for local development
- Database schema and migrations (PostgreSQL or MongoDB)
- API monitoring with Sentry and Datadog
- Deployment scripts for AWS, GCP, or Azure
- 30-day post-launch warranty and support
What we ship in this practice.
Payment processing API for a fintech startup
Built a PCI-DSS compliant Node.js API that processes 10,000 transactions per day. Integrated with Stripe and Plaid. Reduced chargeback rate by 40% through real-time fraud detection. Tech stack: Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Redis, Stripe API.
HIPAA-compliant patient data API for a telehealth platform
Developed a GraphQL API that connects EHR systems (Epic, Cerner) and serves patient records to 500+ providers. Achieved HIPAA compliance with end-to-end encryption and audit logging. Tech stack: Node.js, Apollo Server, PostgreSQL, AWS KMS.
Real-time inventory API for an ecommerce marketplace
