Advanced Node Architecture
Structure large Node.js backends with layered architecture, queues, caching and observability in a bootcamp.
Program overview
You work in a small group for ten to twelve weeks with live instruction. The group builds a multi-service backend and learns how to split code into layers, move slow work to queues and see what the system does in production.
What you'll learn
- Organize code into routes, services and data layers
- Move slow work to background queues with BullMQ
- Cache hot reads with Redis
- Add structured logs, metrics and traces
- Deploy with Docker and health checks
Who it is for
Backend developers with Node experience who want to design systems that scale past a single server.
Before you enroll
You have built and deployed a Node API with a database.
