Backend Development

Build the engines behind great products — APIs, databases, and scalable services that power the front end.

Backend development is about reliability, data, and scale. It's the foundation everything users see is built on.

This path covers APIs, databases, authentication, and the architecture patterns that keep services fast and dependable.

Backend engineering essentials

• APIs & services. Design REST and GraphQL APIs with Node, Python, or .NET.
• Databases. Model data with SQL and NoSQL, and query it efficiently.
• Auth & security. Handle authentication, authorization, and data protection.
• Scale & deploy. Cache, queue, containerize, and deploy to the cloud.
