What is a Back-end Developer

What do you call the behind-the-scenes functionality, or brain of a site? The 'back end of a website is a combination of technology and programming that powers a website. It consists of three parts that a user never sees: a server, an application, and a database. A back-end developer is someone who builds and maintains the technology needed to power the components which enable the user-facing side of the website to exist. Their back end code adds utility to everything the front-end developer creates. These developers are responsible for creating, maintaining, testing, and debugging the entire back end. This includes the core application logic, databases, data and application integration, API and other back end processes.
