Back End

“Backend” refers to the server-side components of a web application responsible for managing and processing data. It includes the database where information is stored and the logic that handles requests from the frontend. In a web development context, backend technologies often involve programming languages like Python, Ruby, or Java, and frameworks such as Django, Ruby on Rails, or Spring. Developers working on the backend ensure the application functions smoothly by writing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow the frontend and backend to communicate. They also implement security measures, optimize database queries for efficiency, and scale the application to handle increasing traffic. The backend plays a crucial role in ensuring the overall functionality, performance, and security of web applications.
