I don't full understand it but backend interface is not a good name since you also sometimes refer to the database as backend. Is this like a orm node backend?

Ah, yes, good point! It's basically the abstract base class BackendNode.
I changed it to abstract interface, as I also find the name BackendNode a bit confusing (we are talking about many backends overall, db backend, ORM backend, etc. ^^)
Do you agree that this is clearer? Overall, in my last commit, I modified the boxes and section headings. Should be much clearer now (at least I think so).
