What do you call these tasks in backend dev?

When working on a backend app, what do you call tasks like configuring your router, or initialising a client for an external service - essentially things that don't contribute to the core logic of your app.

I'm working on an app (https://visual-backend.com) to automate these and I've been saying "repetitive tasks" or "basic tasks" or "boilerplate actions", but I feel like none of these effectively capture the message that I am trying to send. What would you call these?

    I feel like at least the specific problem you've described here is solved by language/framework tools, not by some external service or AI coder.
