Server-Based Development
Server-based development is a software development approach where the core application logic, data processing, and business rules are executed on a server rather than on client devices. This methodology typically involves building applications that run on centralized servers, with clients (such as web browsers or mobile apps) interacting through network requests. It contrasts with client-side development by centralizing control, security, and data management on the server.
Developers should learn server-based development for building scalable, secure, and maintainable applications where data integrity and centralized control are critical, such as in enterprise systems, e-commerce platforms, or data-intensive services. It is essential when handling sensitive operations, managing shared resources, or ensuring consistent application behavior across multiple client types, as it reduces client-side complexity and enhances security by keeping business logic and data storage on trusted servers.
