    The backend is the part of an application or website that takes place in the background and is not visible to users. It therefore represents the administrative part of an application or website in which it is managed. For example, a content management system is part of the backend.

    The "opposite" is the frontend, which is the user interface that is visible to users. You can read more about the distinction between front-end and back-end here.

    The front-end is the graphical user interface of a software - i.e. the part of an application that is visible to the viewer or user. Using the example of a website, the front-end is the part that is accessible and visible to users on the internet.

    The back-end, on the other hand, is the part of an application that is not visible to users and runs in the background.
