back-ends
Behind-the-scenes infrastructure
Back-ends is the plural of back-end, referring to the behind-the-scenes components of a system.
In computing, back-ends are the servers, databases, and infrastructure that users never see directly: Our back-ends handle millions of requests daily.
The term contrasts with front-ends, which are user-facing interfaces.
