What is a server side developer?

Server side developers are software engineers who specialize in the development of the backend components of web applications. They create, maintain, and optimize the server, application, and database that power the functionality of websites and apps. Their work ensures that user requests are processed correctly, data is stored and retrieved securely, and the overall application performs efficiently. Server side developers typically use languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, or Node.js, and work closely with front end developers to deliver seamless user experiences.
