Microservices Mastery with Node.js NestJS: Scalable Backend

Microservices Mastery with Node.js NestJS: Scalable Backend

What you’ll learn
Understand microservices architecture principles and decide when to use microservices versus monolithic or SOA architectures
Build standalone and distributed microservices using Node.js, Express, and NestJS
Apply the 12-Factor App methodology to develop cloud-native microservices
Implement synchronous communication using REST and gRPC
Build asynchronous and event-driven systems using message brokers such as RabbitMQ and Kafka
Apply CQRS and Event Sourcing for complex and high-scale domains
Build observable microservices with centralized logging, metrics, and distributed tracing
Containerize microservices using Docker and Docker Compose
Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated build and deployment
Build and deploy serverless microservices using cloud platforms

Requirements
Intermediate JavaScript or TypeScript knowledge (ES6+, async/await, TypeScript basics)
Basic Node.js and Express experience (building REST APIs)
Familiarity with databases (basic SQL and NoSQL concepts)
Understanding of HTTP fundamentals (methods, status codes, REST)

Description
Master the art of building scalable, resilient microservices architectures using Node.js, NestJS, and Express. This comprehensive course takes you from understanding core microservices concepts to implementing production-ready distributed systems with real-world patterns and best practices.

Whether you’re a backend developer looking to level up your architecture skills or a team lead planning to migrate from monolith to microservices, this course provides hands-on experience with every major microservices pattern through practical code examples and demo projects.
