What kind of data does the "server side" process typically handle?

The "server side" process typically handles data that does not require direct user input. This is because server-side processes are responsible for handling backend operations that run on a server. These functions often include database interactions, processing application logic, and managing data that is not directly influenced by user interactions in real time.

For instance, when a user submits a form or makes a request, the server processes this information in the background, generating the required output based on existing data. The information processed is therefore often static or changed through controlled server operations rather than immediate direct user commands. This allows for data integrity and consistency, as server-side operations can perform necessary validations and business logic before responding to user requests.

User-interactive tasks are typically managed on the client side, relying on user inputs and immediate responses. Real-time monitoring of user activity also tends to operate more on the client side, collecting data from user actions to track behavior. Similarly, client-side applications run directly in users' browsers or devices, relying heavily on direct user input and interactions. Thus, the role of the server side is distinctly focused on handling backend processes that do not necessitate immediate user input.
