What is back-end?
The back-end consists of everything that the user generally does not see, and which affects the security, speed and operating logic of your website.
For example, if you are creating an online store, although customers can see individual stages of the purchasing process (browsing products, adding them to the basket, paying, etc.), most of this (as well as any other) process takes place in the invisible part of the website, behind the scenes. This is what the back end is.
Components
The back-end consists of elements such as
- Server: configuration, maintenance and optimization of the application server, scalability, service monitoring.
- Database: database management, data structure design, performance optimization.
- Website code: maintenance and development of the code, creating the application structure, implementing functions.
- API: API design and implementation, enabling communication within the system and with external services.
- Version control system: such as Git, the ability to track the history of code changes, source code management.

Back-End for web applications
Back-end is not only about websites
In fact, every digital product has a front-end and a back-end. If you are currently working on a new digital project, we will be happy to help you create new features and modules for your application. We start by analyzing your requirements and assessing the current state of your project to determine how best to integrate new elements into your existing application.
Creating and modifying modules for web applications
Creating new modules
Do you have an existing application that requires new solutions? We will design and implement new modules that can then be integrated with the existing application. Our integration process is very flexible and allows you to efficiently add new functions in line with the latest technological trends and the requirements of your users.
Development of existing modules
Do you have an existing application that requires new solutions? We will design and implement new modules that can then be integrated with the existing application. Our integration process is very flexible and allows you to efficiently add new functions in line with the latest technological trends and the requirements of your users.
Code optimization, debugging, diagnostics and error removal
We will help you optimize your code to make it clear and functional. Our development team pays great attention to the code of each website/application we work on, which allows your project to run smoothly and make subsequent modifications relatively simple. We will also help you diagnose and fix any errors your website/app may be experiencing. Thanks to advanced tools and the experience of our developers, we quickly eliminate potential problems, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of your application, which affects not only its security, but also user satisfaction. You have two solutions at your disposal that will help you significantly improve the smoothness and speed of your web application:
Minification and compression
Here, our main focus is on reducing the file sizes used by your application, which shortens its loading time and improves the user experience.
Cache for dynamic elements
We use optimized mechanisms for caching dynamic elements, which also speeds up the loading of application content. Optimized cache management translates into smooth operation of your application.
API (programming interfaces) for web applications
API design and provisioning
We create programming interfaces that work with the front end and other services within your application. Our API solutions primarily enable smooth communication between various application components, which ensures good user experiences.
API documentation
In addition to the implementation itself, we also provide the necessary API documentation, which contains specific instructions and function descriptions. Thanks to this, using the implemented solutions in the future will not cause problems (the documentation is needed for your future employees or other agencies that will work on the application).
Databases for web applications
Relational databases
Relational Databases: In relational databases, data is stored in interconnected tables. We use MySQL databases to effectively manage your website/application data.
Non-relational databases
We use them when a flexible approach to data storage is needed, without the need to use tables. Here, we primarily use solutions provided by Redis to ensure quick access to data and the required level of flexibility.
Integrations for e-commerce
If you are creating an online store, you probably know...
...that additional tools are needed to enable efficient acceptance and execution of orders.
We will make sure that your e-store has:
- Shipping and logistics: integrations with shipping platforms and courier companies make it easier to manage the shipping process and track shipments.
- Other solutions you need: for example, CRM, analytical tools (e.g. Google Analytics), advertising tools (e.g. Facebook Pixel) and many others.
- Payment processing: (integration with various payment gateways): BLIK, quick transfers, card payments, or deferred payments.
- Order management: your stores back-end can be connected to your chosen order management system, making all logistics processes much easier.
- Automation: possibility of integration with various other applications and tools that allow you to automate processes, save time and increase the efficiency of the online store.
Back-end security of your store
Protection against cyberattacks
We use data encryption and CMS, server and domain security to minimize the risk of a cyber attack on your e-store. In this way, we protect the store itself and the sensitive data (personal and financial) of your customers. Cybersecurity is one of the most important aspects of running an e-business and is required of you by both the law (GDPR) and modern security standards (for example, payment gateways require an SSL certificate to be implemented in order to function at all).
Securely manage user sessions
We strive to eliminate cyberattacks related to user authentication through secure session management. This is where solutions such as two-factor user authentication (2FA) come into play, which ensures session confidentiality and ensures that the person who logs into your account does so in accordance with their permissions.
