Backend refers to the server-side of a web or mobile application. It encompasses the logic, databases, and infrastructure that support the functioning of the application and handle requests from the frontend. Backend development involves designing, building, and maintaining the server-side code and infrastructure.
Example: In a social media application, the backend would handle tasks such as user authentication, storing and retrieving user data from a database, managing posts and comments, and handling messaging between users.
