Backend:
- running a migration on a table of 100 million rows... in MySQL 5.6. Well, things can get complicated.
- building the infrastructure and monitoring of a k8s cluster
- debugging concurrency bugs
I think these topics are not really easier than their frontend counterparts. I do believe some aspects of frontend development are harder than some of backend development (and the other way around). I do not think, in general, that "backends are so much easier to build compared to frontends" though.
