Server side backend application

What would be the best way of developing a backend service with a webpage and communication with the Unity based app/game?

What I am looking for is how to kick this off including what tools to use etc?

The idea is to have a webpage with info like:

- Unique login
- Stats per user
- Download items
- IAP
- Upload items
- ...

 

"Best way" questions are hard to answer, because what is best for your use case can easily not be best for someone else's even with somewhat similar requirements. But a simple to implement solution which limits 3rd party dependencies is just the typical PHP/MySQL approach. Webpage using PHP talks to MySQL database. Unity game talks to another PHP script on the same webserver via UnityWebRequest which talks to the same MySQL database.

While I agree with Joe in general....

After struggling with some old Web Services for days I had a asp.net core Web API to save/load games working in hours. Many of the newer technologies make restful APIs pretty easy.

But it is still a different animal with a million different options to develop a web backend compared to an Unity game.
