What’s the difference between front-end and back-end?

Back-end is the inner side of the website and application: this term encompasses servers, database, application logic and APIs, is the behind-the-scenes part of an application that manages data, logic, and interactions that occur on the server, which is also why it’s called server-side. Front-end is the user interface: it’s the UI/UX design and the view the user directly interacts with. It’s also called client-side and includes user interface (UI), user experience (UX), and front-end technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS).

How long does back-end development take?

Back-end development services differ for each case, which accordingly impacts the timeline. Depending on a project complexity, scope of work and team size, it may take less or more time. To get a precise estimation, get in touch with Devox’s managers.

How fast can I hire a back-end developer from Devox?

The timeline for hiring a back-end developer always depends on the candidates’ amount and capacity on the market as well as the search location. However, Devox will present the first candidates for your consideration within a week after getting a request.

What is the best language for back-end development?

Each project requires a unique combination of back-end technologies. Therefore, there are no universal back-end languages. Among the most popular options for server-side development are Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, Go, Solidity and Rust. No matter the language, we match your project with the most suitable tech stacks that enable higher development speed, scalability options, and application responsiveness.

Why is the back end needed?

Server-side is necessary for storing and organizing data, app hosting, and enhanced security. It also communicates with the front-end, making sure the data is displayed as intended.

What are the 3 parts of back-end development?

The back-end refers to any functionality needed to handle the request and deliver the response to the user. This functionality usually comprises: The server. It provides data on request. The app. It is the application running on the server that channels the data. The database. This part stores and handles data.

What Is Back End Development

A backend you can trust — built to scale, secure by design, and ready for whatever’s next.

You’ve been here before: backend performance starts to slip, the monolith won’t scale, integrations break with every update, and your team is stuck firefighting. Whether you’re a CTO, Head of Engineering, or a senior dev leading the charge, you’re not looking for someone just to write code — you’re looking for a partner who gets the architecture.

That’s where we come in. Devox Software steps in when internal capacity hits a wall — when performance needs profiling, when architecture needs rethinking, when CI/CD is still just a sticky note on the backlog. We help you move from fragile deployments and inconsistent delivery to modular systems, clean integrations, and robust pipelines.

It’s not about outsourcing work. It’s about finally gaining control over a backend, supported by expert back end development services, that can help your growth, not slow it down. About having someone on your side who writes testable code, documents every integration, and treats your product as if it were their own.

Explore our backend development process — and see what it feels like to move fast without breaking things. Let Devox Software, a trusted development services company, handle the backend, so your team can focus on the future.

Our Process

Our Back End Development Process

Book a Consultation

The software development life cycle is the same for every application or product. See how we approach Back End Development: we’ve built a detailed and well-tuned structure not to miss anything.

01.

01. Develop High-level Architecture

Creating a blueprint or plan for how the back-end of your application will be structured and how its components will interact. We're considering your requirements, identifying the major components or modules that will make up the app's back-end, and pick technologies. Then, we define component relationships and describe data flow.

02.

02. Design Database Schema

Providing a structured and organized way to store, retrieve, and manage data for the application. This is when we pick the appropriate database system (SQL, NoSQL) and design its schema, defining tables, fields, relationships, and constraints. After that, we set up the selected database system and conduct data seeding, populating it with initial data if required for testing and development.

03.

03. Design Cloud Infrastructure

Our engineers create the necessary server and network resources to host the back-end components in a scalable and cost-effective manner. Firstly, they choose a cloud service provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). Secondly, they create virtual machines, containers, or serverless functions to host the back-end code. Finally, the team sets up network settings, security groups, and firewall rules to control traffic to and from your back-end services.

04.

04. Setup CI/CD pipeline

Implementing a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline automates the build, test, and deployment processes, ensuring code quality and reliability. We start by picking a version control system to manage your codebase. Then, we set up a CI server (e.g., Jenkins, Travis CI, GitHub Actions) to automate building, testing, and code quality checks, and create automated deployment pipelines that promote validated code changes to staging and production environments. We also include rollback mechanisms in case of deployment failures.

05.

05. Implement logic

Developing your back-end's core business logic and functionality. We develop APIs and create their documentation, routes, controllers, and services to handle business logic. Then, we implement user authentication, authorization, and security features. Finally, if required, we integrate the logic with external services (e.g., payment gateways, third-party APIs).

06.

06. Third-party services integration

We're connecting additional features that help your application leverage the functionality and features provided by external service providers. Most frequently, it involves working with SendGrid, Auth0, Firebase, Azure Services (Azure bus, security layer, etc).

07.

07. Connect front-end

We roll out the back-end, fully integrating it with UI components and the client-side code. We stay in touch after the project's completion to provide maintenance and upscale the system on your demand.

Our Back End Best Practises

Development Approaches

Devox employs 5 main software development principles: SOLID, DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself), KISS (Keep It Simple), YAGNI (You Are Gonna Need It), and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).

Architectural Patterns

Based on your requirements, our engineers conduct the research to offer an architectural pattern that would work best — monolithic, microservices-based architecture or serverless. Regardless of a pattern you choose, we think out the means of third-party integrations for monolith or the ways microservices will interact.

Infrastructure Design And Selection

During the infrastructure design phase, we employ platforms such as cloud-based solutions, Microsoft's Azure, or Amazon's AWS. Based on the nature of your project and its unique demands, we handpick services that fit today’s needs and anticipate future growth and changes.

CI/CD (Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment)

CI/CD is a set of practices and tools that streamline the building, testing, and deployment of code changes, ensuring that your back-end application remains reliable, up-to-date, and secure. In Devox, the CI/CD stage includes testing, code quality checks, and deployment of code analyzers that carefully analyze code for any potential inefficiencies or vulnerabilities.
