Backend_Development 6.2

Backend development focuses on server-side logic, database interactions, and application performance, ensuring effective communication between the frontend and the database. Key components include server-side languages like Node.js, Django, and ASP.NET, as well as RESTful APIs, authentication methods like OAuth and JWT, and microservices architecture. Microservices enhance scalability and flexibility by breaking applications into independent services that communicate via APIs.

Backend Development

Overview of Server-Side Technologies


and Concepts
Introduction to Backend Development
• - Backend development handles server-side
logic, database interactions, and application
performance.
• - It ensures smooth communication between
the frontend and the database.
• - Key components include server-side
languages, APIs, authentication, and
microservices.
Server-Side Languages (Node.js, Django,
Flask, ASP.NET, Spring Boot)
• - **Node.js**: JavaScript runtime for building
scalable network applications.
• - **Django & Flask**: Python frameworks for
web development.
• - **ASP.NET**: Microsoft's framework for
building web apps.
• - **Spring Boot**: Java framework for
creating enterprise applications.
Example: Simple REST API in Node.js
• ```javascript
• const express = require('express');
• const app = express();
• app.get('/hello', (req, res) => res.send('Hello,
World!'));
• app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server
running on port 3000'));
• ```
RESTful APIs and Web Services
• - **REST (Representational State Transfer)** is
an architectural style for APIs.
• - Uses HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
• - APIs enable communication between
frontend and backend services.
• - Common tools: Express.js, Django REST
framework, FastAPI.
Authentication and Authorization (OAuth,
JWT)
• - **Authentication**: Verifies user identity
(e.g., login with email/password).
• - **Authorization**: Determines what
resources a user can access.
• - **OAuth**: Open standard for token-based
authentication (e.g., Google, Facebook login).
• - **JWT (JSON Web Token)**: Secure way to
transmit authentication data.
Microservices Architecture
• - Microservices break applications into small,
independent services.
• - Each service runs its own process and
communicates via APIs.
• - Benefits: Scalability, flexibility, and better
fault isolation.
• - Example: Netflix, Amazon, Uber use
microservices.
