Backend Framework

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A server-side framework that provides routing, middleware, request handling, configuration, and other common infrastructure for building backend services. Backend frameworks accelerate development by giving teams conventions and reusable plumbing instead of starting each service from scratch.

    In plain English: A framework used to build the server-side part of an application.

    Example: "They chose a lightweight backend framework because the service needed fast startup and explicit control over middleware order."
