The advanced backend development course is structured to provide an in-depth exploration of advanced techniques in web application architecture and optimization. During the first few weeks, students will learn about microservices architecture and design patterns, followed by performance optimization and scalability techniques. Essential strategies such as cache implementation and load balancing will be covered to ensure applications operate efficiently under demand. In the second part of the course, the focus will shift to using Next.js to create fast and scalable web applications. Students will explore the initial setup, as well as advanced server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG) techniques. Additionally, efficient integration of external APIs and services will be addressed, including authentication and authorization with OAuth and JWT. The course concludes with the introduction and practical use of Docker, where students will learn to create and configure containers to deploy their backend applications effectively and securely.
