CORE CONCEPTS

What Is Backend Development?

Backend development is the process of creating the server-side functionality that supports websites and web applications.

While frontend development focuses on what users see and interact with, backend development manages the systems working behind the interface.

Backend development may include:
Server-side programming
Database management
API development
Business logic
User authentication
Data validation
Application security
Third-party integrations
Admin functionality
Server configuration
Data processing
Application performance

The backend communicates with the frontend, databases, and external services to support the required application functionality.
