Backend development - at our digital agency

Introduction

Another focus of our offer is backend development. For this we work with different technologies like PHP, Symfony, SQL and noSQL. We focus entirely on the architecture behind the application which remains hidden for the user. It is essential that the backend communicates flawlessly with the frontend and executes the desired requests without any problems. This requires a lot of experience and a structured vision across all systems and applications. Below you can learn more about the topic of backend development and how we can support you.

To give you an overview of our work, we explain the most important aspects of backend development below.

Explanation

What is a backend?

Backend refers to an application that works in the background of an application. It is also known as the data access layer. This part of the application is not visible to the user and processes requests extremely quickly. For this purpose, the backend is installed on a separate server and adapted and maintained there.

In contrast, the user interface and the desired data and content are displayed to the user in the frontend. The backend has to handle countless requests at the same time and execute actions without the user having to wait long for the requested information.

Explanation

backend as a service

Various cloud solutions are not in the future but more and more in the present. So is the Backend as a Service. It can simplify the creation of a powerful backend enormously and is increasingly becoming a popular solution approach. This means our developers can create a backend in just a few steps and easily link it to the application in question.

Well-known providers are, for example, Google (Realtime Database, Authentication or Cloud Functions) or Amazon (Amazon S3, Cognito, Amazon EC2). In many cases, hybrid solutions can also be developed that access multiple services simultaneously. With the backend as a cloud solution, you are prepared for the future.

Procedure Backend Development

An essential part of backend development is the determination of requirements and the conception of the solution. Only when the requirements have been sufficiently clarified can the technical feasibility be checked and subsequently guaranteed. That is why the cooperation with our customers and the detailed requirements analysis are the top priority in the development of a backend system.

Observe server requirements

If the backend is located on a server, aspects such as scalability or location must be taken into account. Since a server has to process an enormous amount of requests at the same time, its capacity should be sufficient for this. In some cases, the backend may need to be distributed across multiple servers simultaneously to accommodate the requests. The location of the servers determines the speed at which, for example, app users receive the requested content. For this purpose, servers in Germany should be selected if the application is released in Germany.

Our developers are specialists in HTTP, SOAP, REST, databases, SQL queries and are able to grasp and understand entire architectural landscapes of our customers. The focus is always on the essentials and the big picture. Here too, we decide individually and depending on the circumstances, which methods and approaches we will use to develop your backend. For this purpose, we can access cloud solutions such as those from Amazon or Google, or develop an individual solution.
