The main technologies used at MobileThinking for Backend developments are
PHP and
Nodejs. These technologies are robust, well documented and have a very active open source community.
Moreover, thanks to package managers like
Yarn for
NodeJS and
Composer for
PHP, we can use the libraries and frameworks developed by the open source community or create and share ours.
For instance, the framework
ExpressJs is ideal because it provides a myriad of tools for the development of applications, such as a simplified management of
REST requests and a clean construction of
APIs.
When the project is in
PHP, we mostly use the
Laravel or
Lumen (if the only requirement is a lightweight API ) frameworks which, for example, greatly facilitates the management of the routes or the communication with the database thanks to
Eloquent.
For scalable mobile Backends, costs reduction, flexibility, and fast pace development, we often choose
Firebase because it offers a range of tools to manage user authentication, notifications, a cloud database or even statistical tools.
SQL ?
NOSQL ? For the database, our choice will mainly depend on the project but we opt generally for
MYSQL or
MongoDB.
Not to mention unit and functional tests thanks to
PHPUnit and
Jest!
If you like this environment, you will find below our Backend developer Roadmap and a form to join our team.
So let us work together!
