The backend and frontend are two different parts of a website in charge of separate tasks. The frontend - user interface - is responsible for how the application looks and how the user interacts with it. The backend is part of the system that includes business logic, data processing, and communication with various systems. It’s therefore the basis of the application, which allows it to process information and send it to the frontend.

Many articles have been written about what characterizes good code, how to write good code, and why good code is… good from the programming side. We can easily find them online and on our blog. Today, however, we want to approach the impact of good (or bad) code on software from the business side. Why is it not worth saving money at the beginning of creating a new system and how bad code can generate huge costs in the future?

How often do you leave a page before it loads? According to Google, as many as 53% of mobile users decide to leave a site if it takes more than three seconds to load. What causes a page to load slowly, and how to deal with it? In our article, we'll discuss these issues in detail.

Just as tools were created to process materials and build shelters, today, developers are creating tools for themselves to work more efficiently. However, it grew to such an extent that jokes have started to be made among frontend developers about the next frameworks. Why are there so many of them? How are they different from JavaScript libraries? What are frameworks and why developers want to write their projects in them? We'll answer these questions in a moment, but one step at a time...

Today's high traffic websites must handle hundreds of thousands or even millions of simultaneous requests from users or customers and return the correct elements on the web page. They have to do all of that quickly and reliably. For the servers handling a given website, it's a test of whether they'll properly handle the traffic at a given moment so that the end user has uninterrupted and comfortable access to the service.

In this article, we'll discuss the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of both of these solutions. However, before this happens, we'll briefly remind you how websites work and how it’s possible that, regardless of what device we use to surf the web, we only need an internet connection and any device with a browser.

In the process of creating a product, every person working on a given problem may have a slightly different approach to solving it. These don’t necessarily have to be big differences. It's enough to interpret the idea differently for the finished solution to not fully suit the product owner. Establishing clear and transparent acceptance criteria will help streamline your software development, as well as allow for the prevention of possible misunderstandings.

We use multiple environments when developing software. We care most about the production environment which is accessible to all users. In the test environment, we check that the changes we make function as they should. There is also a local environment - we could say it is the most important one. It is where application development and maintenance starts. What exactly is it, what does it provide us with and how do we generate it? Let's get down to specifics.

It would be a strange world if we didn’t use names, but call each other "you" or, even worse, use numbers. In everyday life, we are well aware of the importance of our name. Some even ascribe to it meanings or magical powers that contribute to success in private and professional life. Therefore, it shouldn't be surprising that the name of our website domain is as important as our own name.
