Linking every component of the frontend\u2014the website\u2014with the database is the main responsibility of the backend developer. All told, the backend handles the &#8220;functionality&#8221; component of the website. The backend development portion deals with server processing and database storage in addition to maintaining application infrastructure for behind-the-scenes operations. During development, engineers process data along with user authentication management while prioritizing system security tasks. Backend developers use languages including Python, Java, and PHP, as well as frameworks like Django alongside Ruby on Rails.
