## Backend Responsibilities in Practice

As a backend developer using Go, you are responsible for building the core logic that powers web applications. Your daily tasks focus on ensuring that data flows smoothly and securely between users and the server. You will:

- Handle incoming HTTP requests and send appropriate responses;
- Set up routing to direct requests to the correct handlers;
- Design and implement APIs for communication with frontend or external services;
- Manage authentication to protect sensitive endpoints;
- Implement robust error handling to maintain reliability and provide clear feedback.

Mastering these responsibilities allows you to build efficient, secure, and scalable backend systems with Go.

Which of the following are typical backend responsibilities in a web application?
