Why hire senior REST API development consultants
Building a production API requires more than writing endpoints. It demands architecture decisions that scale to millions of requests.
Our senior REST API development consultants have shipped over 200 APIs across 50 countries. We use OpenAPI 3.0 for spec-first design, ensuring every endpoint is documented, versioned, and testable from day one. We enforce idempotency, rate limiting, and proper error handling with structured error responses.
Each API includes automated load testing with k6, security scanning with OWASP ZAP, and continuous deployment via GitHub Actions. We deploy on AWS ECS or Kubernetes with auto-scaling. Your API ships with a Postman collection and a developer-friendly README.
Senior REST API development consultants vs generic dev shops
Not all API teams are equal. Here is how IRPR compares to a generic development shop.
Generic shops often treat API development as a side task. They skip spec-first design, omit rate limiting, and deliver undocumented endpoints. You end up with a fragile API that breaks under load and takes months to fix.
IRPR treats API development as a core engineering discipline. Every API starts with an OpenAPI spec, includes automated tests, and ships with monitoring and alerting. We guarantee 99.9% uptime and provide a 12-month warranty on all production APIs.
- No OpenAPI spec
- No rate limiting
- No automated tests
- No monitoring
- Hourly billing
- No compliance support
- OpenAPI 3.0 spec-first
- Rate limiting + caching
- Postman + Jest tests
- Sentry + Datadog monitoring
- Fixed price from $80K
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2
How we build your REST API in 4 phases
Our process is designed to de-risk API development and deliver predictable results.
Phase 1 is a 2-week Roadmap where we define the API spec, data model, and deployment architecture. You get a fixed-price contract and a detailed project plan. Phase 2 is a 6-8 week build sprint where we code, test, and deploy the API incrementally.
Phase 3 is a 1-week Release where we run load tests, security audits, and documentation finalization. Phase 4 is a 12-month warranty with monitoring and hotfix support. Every phase includes weekly demos and a shared Slack channel.
What ships with your REST API
Every API project includes a complete delivery package. No missing pieces.
You get more than just code. We deliver a production-ready API with documentation, tests, monitoring, and deployment pipelines. Everything is in your repository from day one.
Our senior REST API development consultants ensure you can maintain and extend the API after launch. We include a developer onboarding session and a handoff document.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- OpenAPI 3.0 specification (YAML/JSON)
- Postman collection with example requests
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Automated tests (unit, integration, load)
- Sentry error tracking
- Datadog monitoring dashboard
- Docker Compose for local development
- Deployment guide and architecture diagram
- 12-month warranty with priority support

Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every API project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior engineers only
Every consultant on your project has 8+ years of API development experience. We do not outsource to juniors or offshore teams. Your API is built by engineers who have shipped production APIs at scale.
OpenAPI spec-first design
We write the OpenAPI 3.0 spec before any code. This gives you a complete contract for your API, including request/response schemas, error codes, and authentication. No surprises during integration.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance into the API architecture from day one. This includes audit logging, encryption at rest and in transit, and role-based access control. No retrofitting.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and infrastructure config from the first commit. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in. Your API runs in your AWS or GCP account.
12-month warranty
After launch, we monitor your API with Datadog and Sentry, fix bugs within 24 hours, and provide priority support for 12 months. No additional retainer required.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
