Unlock Your Business Potential – Increase Website Traffic & Revenue
When you are interacting with a website, where does all that information come from that you see? Well, all that comes from the backend – behind-the-door platform that handles information storage and retrieval. Backend development means scripting website architecture, programming applications, and maintaining databases and servers. It includes writing codes that help the browser communicate with the database to display information that you see on the front side. For a website to run properly, an efficient relation between both backend and front-end is necessary.

What is Backend Development?
Backend development, also known as server-side development, is related to everything that happens behind the scenes and which users don’t see. It constitutes of databases, servers, and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). When users perform any action on a website, activities that occur behind the scene which they are seeing is all part of the backend. It relates to the technical functionality of the website that communicates with the front-end interface of the site to respond to the action taken by the user.
The backend consists of three primary components:
- Server – System that receives & sends information
- Database – Stores, organizes & secures data
- Application – Processes requests & responses
For example – When you clicked on this piece of information, it was fetched from the database and rendered from a service – this is the backend part. What you are seeing, reading, and interacting with is the front-end.
Why Back-End Development is Necessary?
Just like you cannot run a car without its engine, a website cannot function without a database and server communicating with the front-end side. Front-end can only show and display information and elements that are called from the database and server. Components including servers, databases, APIs, and authorization/authentication functions combine with the front-end of the site to enable users to view and interact with a site and web applications.
What Do Our Backend Developers Do?
The objective of backend development is to ensure that the backend components communicate with each other, along with the front-end interface to deliver secure, accurate, formatted information.
- Write & Maintain Code – Write codes from scratch depending on the project requirements, for creating entire systems, and developing prototypes with needful features.
- Development & Management of the Database – Designing and developing relational and non-relational databases.
- Development & Management of APIs – APIs are key for communication with clients and other systems. Our server-side developers create and manage APIs that work across devices.
- Development of Authentication/Authorization Features – This includes developing systems like payment processing etc. that secures information process and enables further action.
- Management of Backend Logic – They are also engaged in organizing the system logic, and system architecture.
- Building of Framework – They are also involved in developing frameworks to ensure easy and effective system programming.
- Troubleshoot Applications – This includes debugging the applications to ensure the error-free functionality of the entire system.
- Web Server Maintenance – This consists of maintaining and configuring the server where the site code is hosted.
- Collaboration with the Front-End Developers – They collaborate with the frontend developers to ensure seamless functionalities of both the components of a website.

DATABASES
Databases are extremely essential for storing the site and application data in an organized way, which is queried by the developer to return and display to the user. There are two types of databases: relational, which organizes the data in tables, and non-relational, which organizes data in varied forms except tables.
MYSQL

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Backend development is the process of developing or building the backend or the server-side of a website or application. It includes using programming languages, and frameworks for the development process.
The three parts of components of backend development include:
- Database – It stores and manages the data
- Application – It is the software or program that processes the data
- Server – It sends information to the frontend upon a user’s request
Backend development means creating the architecture and structuring the database of a website and application that users don’t see or interact with. Frontend development means defining and developing the front-view interface of the application or site that users interact with. The collaboration and efficient relation frontend and backend results in the proper functioning of the site or application.
Frontend is only the display portion. The information that is displayed there or the interaction taken there between the user and the application can only happen because of the backend or server-side. The backend enables hosting and storing data, security protocol, and data retrieval.
There are a wide variety of programming languages, frameworks, databases, as well as APIs. Depending on the precise requirement of the project, its objective, functional components, and development complexity, we select the suitable tech stack that enables efficient and rapid development.
The costing depends on various factors including – project scope, its complexity, tech stack used, timeline of the development, and more such aspects. To know how much the backend development will cost, you can consult our representative today to know the details and get a free quote estimation.
