Backend Development Services

The backend side is responsible for the logic of a web site, app or system. Its’ job is to ensure that requested data and services will be delivered. Without a performant backend, the whole solution might not meet stakeholders’ expectations.

What is backend software development?

PHP, Java, .Net, C++, Ruby. There are many high-level programming languages of backend software development, but at the end of the day they all come down to the same – creating and maintaining server-side functional, technical and business logic, creating API and communicating with databases.

Thanks to a cherry-picked combination of languages, frameworks, APIs, servers and data solutions, experienced backend developers effectively create robust non-user interfaces. Find out what’s on the table in terms of backend software development!

Backend vs Frontend

Speaking the server language is more important than you think! It’s like comparing your software to an iceberg – what you see is just the tip, but what’s below the water is the really impressive part.

Frontend and backend are like Ying and Yang – very different, but each can’t function properly without the other one. Frontend of every app is responsible for what users see and experiences. It’s the way the system or a website looks like and how it reacts to your commands. On the other side, backend is the engine below this shiny hood, that makes the whole solutions run.

Great and well-thought backend is responsible for unrivalled user experience available at the front. Without it, even the cleanest UX won’t do the job – that is why it should be the primary concern when creating cutting-edge software solutions.

Why is BACKEND so
IMPORTANT for your Company?

The backend side is responsible for the logic of a web site, app or a system. Its’ job is to ensure that requested data and services will be delivered. Without a performant backend, the whole solution might not meet stakeholders’ expectations.

What is more – backend code runs on the server side, which means that backend developers also need to speak database languages fluently. Even more – without profound understanding of system architecture the whole solution is at risk. An effective server-side code will allow for user-friendliness, easy navigation and smooth implementation of other features. No wonder most of the most code is written on the backend!

BACKEND TECHNOLOGIES WE USE

Languages

php

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is the king of the backend. This is the most widely-used server-side language in the world – a phenomenon that simply can’t be undervalued. PHP is an open source technology, that at the same time is simple for a newcomer and is a powerful tool in the hands of a pro. The main target areas in which PHP is best used are server-side scripting, command line scripting and even writing desktop applications. It is truly universal and compatible – it can be used on all popular operating systems and supports most of the web servers. That guarantees a true freedom of choice. On top of that -it will also work great with any size of software solution. With PHP diverse opportunities are at your fingertips!

Backend Frameworks

Simplification of day to day work is crucial when it comes to software development.
That’s why it’s important to make use of the best frameworks available and make coding smooth, fast and efficient.
Take a look what helps us achieve unrivalled scalability:

laravel-logo

Laravel

Laravel, one of the most popular PHP frameworks, facilitates web app backend software development, using simple and elegant syntax patterns. It increases overall security of the application, facilitates data migration thanks to pre-built templates and dependencies, and enables smooth integration with mail services, which increases marketing capabilities of the software.

logo_symfony

Symfony

Symfony’s set of reusable PHP components reduces time and costs of backend development, creating APIs, web apps, microservices and web services. This framework will proof worthy especially in larger, enterprise level applications. A great community of resources and aficionados makes coding stress less and provides inspiration. Not to mention easy testing, the frosting on the cake.

ZF

Zend Framework

This open-source framework, used mostly in large-scale projects, is known for its flexibility and ease of customization. Zend promotes Agile development, offering high-performance MVC implementation. It is easy to use (has a drag and drop editor included) and comes with immediate debugging and unit testing tools, just to name few benefits.

CodeIgniter

CodeIgniter

The name tells a lot about CodeIgniter – with this framework it’s super easy to be a demon of coding! Its’ simple and elegant toolkit allows for creating scalable and robust web apps. CodeIgniter is known for exceptional performance, strong security, object-orientation, clear documentation and ease of configuration. All that makes this framework simple, yet powerful.

CakePHP

CakePHP

More frosting, less code – that’s the idea behind CakePHP. It is a modern PHP 7 MVC framework that simplifies building all kinds and sizes of software solutions. It requires no configuration and has a lot of built-in features, such as database access, caching, translations, authentication, validation and many others. Seldom is PHP baking so secure (and fun!) as with CakePHP!

yiiframework

Yii 2

Speed combined with security – that’s Yii2’s recipe for PHP efficiency. Yii is flexible and at the same time pragmatic, having a lot of reasonable features available straight away. Solid backend code and APIs are easy to create in no-time, utilizing highly extensible, modern technologies that encourage testing and quality assurance.
