How does a backend application normally store information? Databases are commonly used on the back-end of web applications . These databases provide an interface to save data in a persistent way to memory. Storing the data in a database both reduces the load on the main memory of the server CPU and allows the data to be retrieved if the server crashes or loses power.

Name a few things backend developers need to do. Some of the things taken care of by backend developers include:

Writing server-side code

Writing code to interact with a database

Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities

Ensuring that the server-side code is optimized enough to handle large volumes of traffic

Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service

Backend developers may work with other kinds of developers on a single project since the skill set required to complete an app or a web service is not limited to backend development.

What is a technology stack? A set of software that provides the infrastructure for a computer. The stacks differ whether installed in a client or a server. In other works, the tech stack is the programming from frontend to backend that makes up an app or website.

Name a popular backend stack. LAMP

Linux operating system.

Apache Apache web server.

MySQL database.

PHP or Perl or Python scripting languages.

Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? It’s convenient because the frontend developers already are familiar with JavaScript from their frontend development work.

3. What is a technology stack?
Framework comprising of different layers required for an application. OS, Server, Database and server-side programing to develop and deploy an app so that user can interact via front-end.

4. Name a popular backend stack.
LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
As it is based on JavaScript (used for front-end web development), its knowledge and know-how will allow the developer quick adjustment to back-end deveopment.

[i_am_rp]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?

Ans. A backend application normally store information in the database and fetch information from the database.

2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.

Ans. Backend developer need to do these things : Writing server-side code , Writing code to interact with a database , Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities , Ensuring that the server-side code is optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic , Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service.

3. What is a technology stack?

Ans. The set of backend technologies (the “technology stack”) is called LAMP. It is an acronym that stands for Linux OS, Apache , MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

4. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

Ans. NodeJS over other frameworks is that since JavaScript is also used on the client-side, you have a single language over the entire application. This basically gives you comfortable way, you have one language less to learn. This is especially true if you’re moving into backend after gaining experience with web frontend.

[Anthony]

• How does a backend application normally store information?
  Stores in database server.
• Name a few things backend developers need to do.
  Implementation of API to be able to interact with servers, process API request, store/retrieve data from databases to return to API request.
• What is a technology stack?
  A collection of technology used by a developer framework.
• Name a popular backend stack.
  LAMP
• Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
  As front-end developers would have a good working experience with javascript therefore by using NodeJS for backend programming would help the needs to relearn all the syntax.
