What you will learn
Designing and maintaining databases
Writing server-side logic in languages like Python, Java, Node.js, or Ruby
Building and managing APIs (REST, GraphQL)
Implementing authentication & authorization (OAuth, JWT)
Optimizing performance and scalability
Monolithic vs. Microservices
Monolithic: Single codebase (easier to deploy but harder to scale).
Microservices: Independent services (scalable but complex to manage).
Common Design Patterns
MVC (Model-View-Controller) – Separates business logic, UI, and data.
Repository Pattern – Abstracts database operations.
CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) – Separates read/write operations.
Event-Driven Architecture – Uses message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
Database Optimization
Indexing, query optimization, caching (Redis).
Connection pooling to reduce latency.
Load Balancing & Caching
Load Balancers: Distribute traffic (Nginx, HAProxy).
Caching Strategies: CDNs, in-memory caches.
Horizontal vs. Vertical Scaling
Vertical: Increase server resources (RAM, CPU).
Horizontal: Add more servers (cloud-based scaling).
Programming Languages
Python (Django, Flask) – Known for simplicity and scalability.
JavaScript (Node.js, Express.js) – Enables full-stack JavaScript development.
Java (Spring Boot) – Enterprise-grade applications with strong security.
Ruby (Ruby on Rails) – Convention over configuration, rapid development.
PHP (Laravel, Symfony) – Still widely used in legacy and modern systems.
Databases
SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) – Structured data with ACID compliance.
NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis) – Flexible schemas for high-speed operations.
Server & Deployment
Web Servers: Nginx, Apache
Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
CI/CD Pipelines: Jenkins, GitHub Actions
RESTful APIs
Uses HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Stateless, cacheable, and scalable.
Best practices: Versioning, proper status codes, HATEOAS.
GraphQL
Allows clients to request only needed data.
Single endpoint for flexible queries.
Authentication & Security
JWT (JSON Web Tokens) – Stateless authentication.
OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect – Secure third-party logins.
Rate Limiting & CORS – Prevents abuse and unauthorized access.
Testing Strategies
Unit Testing: Isolated function testing (JUnit, pytest).
Integration Testing: API & database interactions.
End-to-End (E2E) Testing: Full system validation.
Debugging & Logging
Logging Tools: ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
Error Tracking: Sentry, Datadog.
What is Backend Development
Backend development is the foundation of web applications, handling server-side logic, databases, APIs, and security. Unlike frontend, which focuses on user interfaces, backend development ensures data processing, storage, and seamless communication between servers and clients.
