How far into the future are you looking at? There's got to be a server somewhere. Somebody has to write code for those, aside from caring and feeding.

Smaller applications, in the Big Data sense, will still be used on site. At least say, 10 years down (yeah, pulled that figure from my ass).

So no. I don't believe that back-end development will be obsolete. Middle is the new back.
