Mega Backend Class - 4

Lecture 78:-  Mega Backend Class - 4

Welcome to "Mega Backend Class - 4"! In this class, we will continue exploring advanced topics in backend development. We'll cover topics related to performance optimization, advanced database techniques, security, microservices, and serverless architecture.

Step 1: Performance Optimization - Part II

In this section, we'll delve further into performance optimization techniques to ensure your backend application runs efficiently and handles high loads.

Caching Strategies: Explore advanced caching strategies like edge caching, content-based caching, and caching in distributed systems.

Query Optimization: Optimize database queries further, considering indexes, query execution plans, and analyzing slow queries.

Load Testing: Learn how to perform load testing to simulate high loads and identify performance bottlenecks.

Step 2: Advanced Database Techniques

In this section, we'll cover advanced database techniques that can improve your backend application's efficiency and scalability.

Replication and Sharding: Understand database replication to achieve high availability and sharding to distribute data across multiple servers.

NoSQL Database Optimization: Explore optimization techniques for NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, and DynamoDB.

Step 3: Security Best Practices - Part II

Security is paramount in backend development. In this section, we'll cover more advanced security practices and considerations.

OAuth and OpenID Connect: Learn how to implement OAuth for user authentication and authorization and use OpenID Connect for single sign-on (SSO) solutions.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Implement two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security for user accounts.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection: Protect your application from CSRF attacks using tokens and anti-CSRF mechanisms.

Step 4: Microservices Architecture - Part II

Microservices architecture comes with its own set of challenges. In this section, we'll address some of these challenges and explore more advanced microservices concepts.

Service Discovery and Load Balancing: Learn about service discovery tools like Consul and load balancing techniques to manage microservices communication.

Circuit Breaker Pattern - Resilience: Implement the circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascading failures in microservices communication.

Step 5: Serverless Architecture - Part II

Serverless architecture allows you to build scalable applications without managing server infrastructure. In this section, we'll dive deeper into serverless development.

Serverless Frameworks: Use serverless frameworks like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions to simplify serverless development.

Event-Driven Architecture: Explore how to design and implement event-driven architectures using serverless technologies.

Step 6: Advanced Error Handling and Monitoring

In this section, we'll explore advanced error handling techniques and effective monitoring practices.

Structured Logging: Implement structured logging for better error tracking and analysis.

Real-time Monitoring and Alerting: Set up real-time monitoring and alerting for critical issues in your backend application.

Step 7: Advanced API Design

In this section, we'll delve into more advanced API design concepts and considerations.

Pagination and Filtering: Implement pagination and filtering to efficiently handle large datasets in API responses.

Versioning APIs: Explore strategies for versioning APIs to maintain backward compatibility as your API evolves.
