Testing

Scalable backend services refer to the ability of a system’s backend to cope with changing workloads. A developer must build applications that can handle increased user demands without sacrificing performance, reliability, and responsiveness.

You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of a server and how to test a backend service. You’ll also design RESTful APIs and build a self-sufficient network package to interact with APIs efficiently. Next, you’ll learn different caching strategies and the necessary interfaces to handle databases using MongoDB, an example of a NoSQL database. Finally, you will learn about different creational design patterns to ensure the system’s components are scalable.

Irrespective of whether you’re a seasoned developer or completely new to the backend world, you will confidently build high-performance systems that can handle increasing user demands, equipped with the skills to excel in modern backend development using Go after taking this course.
