4. Servers
Whether your backend is in
cloud or on-site, a backend
server for a mobile app is
the life vein of the network.
These provide resources
(shared) that the networks
need to operate and work
as a mobile app hosting
platform as well.
5. Database
The database is what makes
an application or website
dynamic allowing users to
make the request from the
app, the database is sup-
posed to accept the query,
fetch the data, and give it to
the app user
6. Middleware is a software that
works on the server which
connects the application’s
frontend to its backend. It en-
ables connectivity between
the client and the server.

END USERS THE API ASSETS
have acess to apps that provide
richer experience by leveraging
the data and services of other apps.
provides universal access to whatever
assets you choose to share. Developers
can “plug in” their apps and data.
Your data and software (and brand) become
more valuable by being leveraged by partners,
developers, and third-party services.
will access your assets through your API to
build Mobile Apps and Web Apps based on
the data and software you share.
8. Web Server Tools
NGINX- It is an open source
software meant for web
serving, caching, reverse
proxying, media streaming,
and load balancing, among
other things
Apache- It is an open source
software that has proven its
reliability in the web server
industry.
9. MySQL - The relational database, MySQL
is an open source platform that is easy to
set up, scales fast, and is free.
MongoDB - The tool saves all the data in
binary JSON format that makes it easier to
pass the data between server and client
Databases Tool
10. Git Clients
SourceTree- The tool simplifies how
the developers interact with the Mercu-
rial and Git repositories. It makes man-
aging repositories more intuitive,
giving people time to focus on coding.
GitHub Client- The tool is used to
write cross-platform desktop apps that
use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It
gives the developers a unified
cross-platform experience which is
100% open source.
11. Microservice Platform Tools
Kubernetes-The open-source platform
used for container cluster management
aims at providing a space for scaling, au-
tomating deployment, and for the opera-
tion of application containers across the
cluster of different hosts
Docker- Docker puts microservices in
the picture by offering developers easy
to use and fast packaging, deployment
mechanism, and distribution to build
compartmentalized apps
12. Local Development Environment
WampServer- The open source develop-
ment environment tool allows mobile app
development companies, to make web ap-
plications using PHP, Apache, and the
MySQL database.
XAMPP- The open source web server
solution stack comes with Apache
distribution which consists of PHP, Perl,
and MariaDB integrated together
in one downloadable file. The XAMPP
package has been designed in such
a way that it is extremely easy to setup
and use.
13. Slack- The famous cloud-based collaboration
and messaging app is known for fun interface
and rapidly expanding community of users
Jira- The web-based project management
tool uses Scrum and Kanban to manage
projects.

14. Apache JMeter- The tool can be loaded
in the server to check the app perfor-
mance and its speed under different
conditions.
AppLoader- a tool used to test the appli-
cation by creating the exact same user
experience from all the access points.
The tool lets you test the complete busi-
ness flow without having to add a plugin
or the need to write code.
App Performance Test Tool
15. APIs – The crucial part
of Backend Programming
API that connects applications,
software, database, and services
seamlessly along with playing an
indispensable role in the building
of server-side software architec-
tures, allowing the software to in-
teract and for the data to be trans-
ferred.
