Backend Development

Backend development is focused on server-side logic that manages data storage, request processing, authentication, and database communication. It involves web servers like Apache and Nginx, and utilizes both relational databases (e.g., MySQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB) for data management. APIs facilitate communication between different systems, with REST and GraphQL being common types used in various applications.

What is Backend Development?

Backend development focuses on server-side logic that powers web applica ons.

The backend is responsible for:

 storing data

 processing requests

 handling authen ca on

 communica ng with databases

Server Architecture

Web servers handle requests from users and return responses.

Examples of servers:

 Apache

 Nginx

 [Link] servers

When a user visits a website, the server processes the request and sends back the webpage.

Databases

Databases store applica on data.

Two common types:

Rela onal Databases

Examples:

 MySQL

 PostgreSQL

Data is stored in tables with rela onships.

NoSQL Databases

Examples:

 MongoDB

 Firebase

These databases are more flexible and scalable.


APIs

APIs (Applica on Programming Interfaces) allow different systems to communicate.

Example uses:

 mobile apps connec ng to servers

 payment systems

 social media integra ons

REST APIs and GraphQL APIs are widely used.
