I am working on an Android application that displays upcoming events and requires continuous server synchronization. Although I have solid experience with front-end development, I am uncertain about how to approach the back-end component. I have reviewed several resources online but still need guidance on which frameworks or documentation are best suited for creating a robust server-side logic for handling event updates. Any advice or recommendations on where to start would be greatly appreciated.
hey ryan, maybe check out gin in go. its pretty light and handles continus server sync quite well. i used it in a projct and it scaled up fine. could be a neat alternative to node.js for your backend setup.
Based on my experience with backend development for mobile applications, I recommend evaluating frameworks that seamlessly integrate with your preferred programming language and support high-frequency data synchronization. I have found that using Kotlin with Ktor can be highly efficient, especially when leveraging Kotlin’s concise syntax and native support for asynchronous operations. Alternatively, if you are comfortable with Java, Spring Boot offers a robust ecosystem for managing RESTful APIs and scaling services. Choose a framework that offers comprehensive documentation, built-in testing support, and a community that can help you troubleshoot issues as they arise.
hey ryan, have u thought of node.js with express? its a bit lighter then some heavier frameworks. curious, what kind of scalability are u lookin for in yo backend? keen to hear yuor thoughts.
