2)    Backend development

Backend development involves coding and programming part of your mobile app development. Often, this is called the server side development.

During the backend development, the coders actually design the logic and write codes to run a program successfully. The goal of backend development is to ensure that the application is producing results as expected. The backend is the enabler of the frontend. Some of the common languages used for backend development are PHP, Python, and Ruby.

3)    Database

A database is not just that part of the application that stores all the data. But, the purpose of the database is to ensure that the stored data is kept in an organized way so that it can be readily assessed, used, edited, and updated.

Indeed, for businesses today their data is one of the most valuable assets. For all the strategy designing to decision making and execution, the historical data plays a critical role.
