PlattformBackend
PlattformBackend denotes a modular backend platform architecture designed to unify common server-side concerns for applications across web, mobile, and IoT. It provides a pluggable runtime, a data-access abstraction, and cloud-agnostic deployment capabilities to support scalable, maintainable backends. The platform emphasizes separation of concerns, extensibility, and observability, allowing teams to compose services from interoperable modules rather than building monolithic codebases.
Architecture and design principles: PlattformBackend is built around a plugin-based orchestration layer that hosts independently developed
- Runtime for business logic modules
- Data access layer and adapters
- Identity and access management
- Background tasks and schedulers
- Packaging and deployment adapters (Docker, Kubernetes, serverless)
Development and deployment: Developers implement platform modules in supported languages, package them as plugins, and configure
Use cases and ecosystem: PlattformBackend is commonly used for backend-as-a-service style SaaS backends, mobile app backends,
