Building the hidden engine of an app is a big job. This skill covers patterns for backend development with Node.js, Express, and Next.js API routes. You will learn how to design clean REST or GraphQL endpoints and structure your code with layers like repository and service.
Database work is also included. You will see how to avoid slow queries and use caching with Redis or HTTP headers. Error handling, validation, and middleware patterns keep your APIs safe and reliable.
Whether you are new to backend or want to refresh your approach, these examples show practical ways to build scalable server applications. Focus on clear separation of concerns and performance from the start.
