== Introduction ==
In [[software architecture]], there may be many [[Abstraction layer|layers]] between the hardware and [[End-user (computer science)#End user|end user]]. The ''front'' is an abstraction, simplifying the underlying component by providing a [[user-friendly]] interface, while the ''back'' usually handles data storage and [[business logic]].
 
== Examples ==
 
'''E-commerce Website''': The ''frontend'' is the user interface (e.g., product pages, search bar), while the ''backend'' processes payments and updates inventory.
 
'''Banking App''': The ''frontend'' displays account balances, while the ''backend'' handles secure transactions and updates records.
 
'''Social Media Platform''': The ''frontend'' shows the news feed, while the ''backend'' stores posts and manages notifications.
 
In [[telecommunication]], the ''front'' can be considered a device or service, while the ''back'' is the infrastructure that supports provision of service.
