Taustapalvelin, also known as a backend server, refers to the server-side component of a client-server architecture. It is responsible for the "behind-the-scenes" operations that a user typically doesn't interact with directly. These operations include data storage and retrieval, application logic processing, and managing the underlying infrastructure.

When a user interacts with an application or website through a client (like a web browser or mobile app), requests are sent to the taustapalvelin. The taustapalvelin then processes these requests, which might involve querying a database, performing calculations, or interacting with other services. After processing, it sends a response back to the client, which then displays the information or performs the requested action.

Key functions of a taustapalvelin include managing databases, handling user authentication and authorization, processing business logic, and ensuring the security and performance of the application. It acts as the engine that drives the functionality users experience on the front-end. Without a taustapalvelin, most modern applications would be unable to function, as they rely on its capabilities to store, process, and deliver data.
