An efficient mobile app backend is really crucial to provide a flawless user experience.

This blog is a quick guide to mobile app backend development. It will cover concepts like backend development, its advantages, the difference between frontend and backend development, backend software stack, and a lot more.

What is Backend development?

The backend works behind the scenes and does most heavy-lifting tasks related to authentication, data verification, data storage, and business logic. It is the part of an application that communicates remotely with the front end. Backend development means working on server-side software that focuses on everything you can’t see on the website. Backend developers take care of and maintain servers, databases, and apps. So now you have got a basic idea about backend development, it’s time to discuss the advantages of backend development.

Advantages of Backend development

The backend plays a crucial role in all stages of backend development. Some of the significant benefits of backend development are:

Faster development
Reduced time to market
Cost efficiency
Continuous delivery and integration
Enhanced performance and security
Better output in less time

What is frontend vs Backend development?

Frontend development

Frontend development focuses on the user-facing side of the application. The role of front-end developers is to ensure that visitors can interact easily with the website by using programming languages, design skills, and other tools. Some of the major skills required to become a frontend developer are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Also, they need to have expertise in frameworks and libraries like jQuery, Bootstrap, EmberJS, and AngularJS.
Backend development

Backend development focuses on the server side of the website. Backend developers use technical skills to perform behind the scene tasks that create website structure and functionality that allows the frontend to exist. Skills required to be a backend developer are programming languages (like python, Java, Ruby, etc), problem-solving skills, backend libraries, and frameworks.
Now you know the difference between frontend and backend development it’s time to get into the Backend software stack.

Backend software stack components

The backend development software stack can be classified into four parts: database, server, operating system, and software. Let’s discuss them in detail.

Servers

A backend server is the nerve of the application. It provides resources that the network needs to work and operate efficiently. These shared resources include security, encryption, file storage, web services, email, and database.
Database

The database is the component that makes the website dynamic. Anytime a user makes a request from the website database, accept the query, fetch data and provide it to the user.
Middleware

It is software that connects an application’s frontend to its backend. It enables connectivity between the client and server. An efficient middleware enhances business project management, authentication, content management, user engagement, etc.

Some of the popular tech stacks for backend development are

XAMPP( X, Apache, MySQL or MariaDB, PHP, Perl) stack
Wins stack
Serverless stack

Steps involved in mobile app Backend development

Some of the major steps involved in backend development are:

Strategy

To build an app first and foremost is a good strategy. Thorough market research, selecting the target audience, defining your goals, and choosing the right platform.
Designing

The next important step in backend development is designing. The UI/UX design ensures that the app is easy to use and works properly. A powerful backend will synchronize your workflow, style guides, architecture, and much more.
Analysis

Developers need to analyze different apps to prioritize their app needs. This helps in building the app more efficiently.
Testing

The final step in custom backend is testing. There are different types of testing like unit testing, security testing, performance testing, and user testing. All these testing are necessary to ensure that applications work consistently on all platforms and under all conditions.
