Backend

Backend

The backend is the part of a computer system, software, or website that stores and processes data, but is not directly used by the user.


  • In a computer system
  • The backend is where data is stored or processed, rather than the parts that are seen and used by the user.

  • In a website
  • The backend is everything that happens behind the scenes, including the servers and databases. It's responsible for storing and organizing data, and ensuring that everything on the client-side works.

  • In application development
  • The backend is the data and infrastructure that make an application work. It stores and processes application data for users.


Back-end developers work on the server-side software of a website or mobile app. They focus on the databases, back-end logic, application programming interface (APIs), architecture, and servers. Back-end developers use code to help browsers communicate with databases, store, understand, and delete data.
Some popular backend frameworks include: Django for Python, Ruby on Rails for Ruby, Spring Boot for Java, and Gin for Go.
Python is a popular language for backend development because it's simple and easy to learn and use.
