Frontend and Backend - Fullstack

Our full-stack developers combine the best of both worlds: frontend and backend development. From designing appealing user interfaces to seamlessly integrating complex backend systems, we offer a comprehensive range of services.

On the one hand, there is the view or the user interface (User Interface / UI) that users get to see - the frontend, also referred to as "client-side". Ideally, this is attractively and functionally designed and is characterized by good usability and a pleasant user experience (UX). Technologies that can be used to generate, display, and interact with this outwardly presented user interface are referred to as frontend technologies.

Single-Page Applications and Frameworks

With the help of scripting languages, such as JavaScript or TypeScript, web pages and web applications can be completely dynamically generated. This means that not only is an HTML page loaded, which is then modified using JavaScript. Instead, a large part of the HTML of the website itself is initially generated and then further modified using the scripts. The information about what should be displayed is requested as a simple data stream (for example, as a list of texts) from a server. In the browser itself, the actual website with its functions is then created from this information. Because in such application cases no obvious reloading of the website, for example with a new or extended web address (URL), is necessary, one speaks of a Single-Page-Application (SPA) - i.e. a complex and dynamic web application (Web-App), which is accessible under a single web address. This can then also be delivered as an independent cross-platform app.

There are a number of libraries (frameworks) that support programmers in creating such SPAs and Web Apps and thus offer a kind of standardization. The basic approach is often the same: for different program states (states) corresponding input masks or displays are defined (views) which, composed of various components (components) - e.g. menu bars, forms, text boxes etc. - form the entire application surface.

The backend, or the Server-Side, is the part of a program or application that is not directly intended for external presentation, but deals with the management, evaluation, and work on the data itself and sometimes does not even provide a visualization of this data. However, it does provide the basis for the functionalities and thus the basis for the frontend.

Dev-Ops Server Infrastructure and Operation

The basis for many applications is web servers. Helm & Walter IT-Solutions specializes in the implementation of distributed systems, cloud services, and web applications (Web Apps). We mainly rely on a Linux-based cloud server infrastructure, which offers us and our customers a high degree of flexibility and failure safety. For the management, setup, and adaptation of these servers, we rely on a variety of the latest technologies. This allows us not only to secure the operation of your (web) server-based application but also to design development and test environments flexibly and realistically. This in turn reduces the risks of later deployment to a minimum.

:::

Database and Data Basis

MySQL

Standard database system on most web servers

MariaDB

Database system with possibilities for more performant queries

Backend-Frameworks

Laravel

Laravel is a new and very powerful php framework that is continuously being expanded in its function by many additional projects. Furthermore, it offers developers extensive support, which can shorten the development times of IT projects.

Symfony

Symfony is also a php framework or a program library that provides functions and components for recurring tasks and problems in php programs and thus can shorten development times and help avoid errors.

FastAPI

FastAPI is a modern, fast (hence the name "Fast") and easy-to-use framework for developing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) in Python. It was developed to maximize the performance of APIs without neglecting user-friendliness.

Shopware

Shopware 6 is an e-commerce platform developed to make it easier for online retailers to create and manage online stores. It is the latest version of the Shopware series and brings a wealth of new features and improvements.

AI

AI-based algorithms can derive complex correlations from orthogonal data that would otherwise be time-consuming to obtain using a great deal of specialist knowledge and experience, or are even invisible to the human eye.
