Top Flutter Backend, Web Server and Web Framework packages
Last updated: December 4, 2024
A web server is specifically designed to serve web pages, APIs and other content to users over the internet. Web servers typically use the HTTP protocol to receive requests from clients, such as web browsers, and return the requested content to the client. Web servers are typically used to host websites and other web-based applications, and are typically managed by the owner of the website or application. In case a web server is used as a backend for a Flutter application, it is also known as Backend Server.
BaaS, or "Backend as a Service," is a type of cloud-based service that provides developers with a way to easily add backend functionality to their applications. BaaS services typically provide a range of pre-built backend functionality, such as user management, data storage, and other common backend tasks. This allows developers to focus on building the frontend of their applications, without having to worry about implementing and managing the backend infrastructure. BaaS services are typically provided by third-party companies and are accessed over the internet.
