Professional Backend
Beyond CRUD tutorials: idempotency, backpressure, connection pooling, graceful shutdown, observability, and the architecture decisions that survive production.
Ordered like chapters of a book. Each lesson assumes you already ship software for a living — and goes one level deeper than your day job requires.
How engines actually run your code: hidden classes, inline caches, the event loop, garbage collection, and the optimizations your code triggers — or kills.

Beyond CRUD tutorials: idempotency, backpressure, connection pooling, graceful shutdown, observability, and the architecture decisions that survive production.
The attacks that actually happen and the code that stops them: injection beyond SQL, SSRF, prototype pollution, JWT pitfalls, and threat modeling for features.
Rust for engineers who already ship software: ownership as an API design tool, fearless concurrency, async runtimes, and when the borrow checker is telling you something.
Guided reading of real open-source code: how Express routes a request, how Vite transforms a module, how Redis stores a string. Learn architecture from code that won.
