The behind-the-scenes functionality of a website is referred to as the 'back-end'. The behind-the-scenes functionality of a website is referred to as the 'back-end'. It is a combination of technology and programming that powers a website, consisting of three parts that a user never sees: a server, an application, and a database. What does a Back-End Developer do? They use code that helps browsers communicate with databases, and store, understand, and delete data. They come up with the most effective and efficient solutions for engineering technology by converting and returning data into front-end code a user can interact with, such as: filling out a form, creating a profile, shopping online, etc. A back-end developer builds and maintains the technology which enables the user-facing side of the website to exist. Responsibilities of a back-end developer can include working with: Database creation, integration, and management Back-end frameworks to build server-side software webserver technologies Cloud computing integration Security settings and hacks Reporting - generating analytics and statistics Backing up and restoring technologies for a website's files and DB Back-end developer technical skills To make the server, application, and database communicate with each other, back-end developers use languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, and .Net to build an application, and tools like MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server to find, save, or change data and serve it to the user in front-end code. Programming languages: Any back-end developer needs to be well-versed in back-end programming languages such as Python, Java, and PHP. These make the website function when used alongside databases, frameworks, and servers. Python is one of the most popular programming languages because it is compatible with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and works well for writing clear and logical code. Basic knowledge of front-end languages HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a bonus. In our case we use: JavaScript, TypeScript, Golang Frameworks: Frameworks are the libraries of back-end programming languages that help to build the server configuration. They tend to be linked with programming languages, so if you are familiar with Python, you’ll also know Flask, Django, or another Python-based framework, and so on. In our case we use: HapiJS, NestJS, Fastify, ExpressJS Databases and servers: You’ll need to understand how to stack and recover data from databases, as back-end programming controls access to this information, including storage and recovery. MongoDB and MySQL are popular database programs. The database stores and organizes the client’s data so that it can be easily arranged and recovered, just like you might use cloud storage for your photos. This database then runs on a server that provides data upon request. In our case we use: Postgresql, Reddis, MongoDB Application Program Interface (API): An API is a series of definitions and rules for developing application software. In addition to internet browser websites, companies often want a mobile app for iOS or Android. Knowledge of application-building languages like JavaScript will expand your job opportunities. Accessibility and security clearance: You should develop knowledge of network protocols and web security. Knowing how to secure databases and servers will be critical to your success as a back-end developer. Communication: A back-end web developer needs to thoroughly understand the engineer’s vision to execute it. Strong written and conversation skills will help you communicate any ideas and troubleshoot with team members and stakeholders. After communicating with a business owner and understanding what their needs and technical requirements are, back-end developers use the aforementioned tools to create web applications with clean, well-documented code. Problem-solving and analytical thinking: You will need to find creative solutions when developing a web or mobile app, such as debugging code and revising it without crashing the entire site. as a develop Contact us and let’s start working together on your projects! https://crypton.studio
