What is backend?

Backend refers to the part of a website or software application that handles the server-side processes that are invisible to the end user. It is responsible for storing and managing data, processing requests and responses, and communicating with the frontend, which is the visible part of the application seen by the user. Backend technologies include programming languages such as PHP, Python and Ruby, and databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. A well-designed backend is essential for the smooth functioning of an application, delivering reliable performance and security of user data.
