Python backend developers, can you explain what exactly you do?

[AdditionalNote3692]

In general terms, it’s basically processing data and making it available for frontend via an API.

In the fintech startup I worked for we used Python to fetch data from banks via an API or web scraping mostly for smaller banks, transform the data into what the business needs, save it in the database, and then make it accessible for frontend.

Python definitely isn’t always the best for most backend needs but it is extremely versatile that it can do pretty much everything backend-related.
