What is backend development?

Backend development describes the programming of server-side components of an app or digital product. Unlike front-end development, back-end development focuses on all those processes that take place “behind the scenes”, so to speak. The backend ensures the smooth functionality of your application and is also used as an interface for integrating other services into your app. Processes such as data management in media apps, user authentication in sales apps and integration with external APIs in e-commerce apps run via the backend.

Our backend development process

Backend development for mobile and web apps is very individual and is based precisely on your business objectives. We rely on clearly structured processes and procedures to ensure that we meet them in full.

Requirements analysis

As a first step, we take the time to understand your requirements in detail:

  • What goals do you want to achieve with your app?
  • Which functions are based on backend development?
  • Which third-party applications should be integrated?

Backend architecture

In the second step, we determine how your data can best be structured and organized. We also create databases (or integrate existing ones) and define how they are structured and linked. We can work with SQL or NoSQL databases.

Cloud infrastructure design

Cloud platforms help to use backend systems efficiently and host them cost-effectively. We use Directus for many backend projects. Directus offers managed hosting solutions, but cloud service providers such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud can also be used as an alternative.

API development and integration

We integrate existing systems via APIs and create our own APIs where required to ensure reliable data exchange between your app backend and other systems.  This also includes implementations for user authentication, authorization and security features.

Frontend link-up

In this step, the new app functions made possible by the backend development are made accessible to app users. The backend is therefore linked to the frontend and the UI/UX of your mobile application.

Backend & User Acceptance Testing

Before we release new functions, we carry out comprehensive tests to ensure that the newly developed backend works smoothly. In addition, user acceptance tests ensure that existing app users understand the new functions and that they offer the expected benefits.

What are the advantages of customized app backend programming?

All apps that work with dynamic data require access to a database. For applications that obtain this data from third-party providers, backend development is not always necessary. However, if users interact with data in your app, can make their own entries, obtain personalized information or need to authenticate themselves, for example, a backend solution is required. A precisely developed backend offers many advantages:

    Data protection & security: Our own backend solutions can be adapted precisely to your data protection and data security requirements. For example, it is possible to check in which country servers are located on which sensitive customer data is stored or that GDPR guidelines are precisely fulfilled.

    Scalability & performance: An optimized backend ensures that your applications run stably even with large numbers of users and many user requests and that your app can reliably keep pace with your growth.

    Flexibility & control: In contrast to standard solutions, a customized backend offers the greatest possible flexibility. Regardless of whether you want to change existing processes or add new functions to your app. As the product owner, you always have complete control over the backend development roadmap and can determine which development steps have the highest priority at any time.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about backend development for mobile apps & web apps

What is backend development?

plus
plus

Backend development refers to the server-side programming of an application. Other existing systems or third-party applications can be integrated and data managed via the backend of an app.

What are the advantages of a customized backend?

plus
plus

An individually developed backend offers a very high degree of flexibility, scalability and security. Furthermore, it is precisely tailored to the specific requirements of your app, which brings performance benefits.

Which backend technologies does Hybrid Heroes rely on for backend development?

plus
plus

We use modern technologies such as Directus, Express, or Serverless Functions to develop scalable and efficient backends.

How long does it take to develop a backend?

plus
plus

The duration depends on how complex the database architecture is, whether third-party applications need to be integrated and whether APIs need to be developed. As a rule, the development time is between 3 and 6 months.

Can the backend be integrated with existing systems?

plus
plus

Yes, this is even a standard. Many of our customers naturally have existing systems and also want to connect these to their mobile app (usually via APIs).

Does Hybrid Heroes also offer cloud-based backend solutions?

plus
plus

Yes, we also develop cloud-based backends that are flexible, scalable and cost-efficient.

What kind of support does Hybrid Heroes offer after the backend has been completed?

plus
plus

On request, we are happy to take over the ongoing maintenance of your app and, of course, the backend.

How much does the development of a backend cost?

plus
