Duration: 16+ hoursCourse Details:
- I mastered how the Node.js Event Loop works, including its different phases and how asynchronous operations are managed under the hood. I now understand how blocking the event loop affects performance and how to design non-blocking code.
- I learned how to scale Node.js applications using both the Cluster module and Worker Threads, enabling my app to take advantage of multiple CPU cores for better performance
- I implemented caching with Redis to optimize database queries and improve response times. I now understand when and how to use caching effectively in real-world Node.js projects.
- I gained hands-on experience integrating AWS S3 for file and image uploads, learning best practices for secure, scalable file storage in production environments.
- I improved my testing and automation skills by writing integration and end-to-end tests using Jest and Puppeteer, and setting up Continuous Integration (CI) workflows for automated testing and deployment.
- I explored advanced JavaScript concepts such as ES6 Proxies and their use in backend development, which deepened my understanding of modern JavaScript in Node.js.
- I developed the ability to build production-grade Node applications, focusing on performance optimization, scalability, and clean architecture.
