Back-end framework

How it is used

Used in web development and architecture discussions. It often covers routing, middleware, dependency management, database access, security features, and testing support.

Example sentences

   Here, the term means the main server-side foundation that already includes common components, reducing repeated setup for account and API features.

2. Since the team already knows the back-end framework, they can add audit logging to the payment service without learning a new stack.
