Building Scalable Applications with Node.js: Learn How to Build Fast and Efficient Server-Side Applications

Build Blazing-Fast, Scalable Backends with Node.js
Want to build backend systems that power real-world applications? Building Scalable Applications with Node.js is your hands-on, modern guide to mastering server-side development using JavaScript’s most powerful runtime.
Whether you're a frontend developer expanding your stack or a backend engineer looking to level up, this book equips you with the tools, techniques, and architecture patterns needed to build fast, resilient, and production-ready backend applications.Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Set up a high-performance Node.js development environment
• Work with Express.js to build RESTful APIs
• Structure scalable backend architectures using modular code
• Implement middleware, routing, and advanced request handling
• Handle databases with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or MySQL
• Build and consume real-time services with WebSockets
• Optimize performance and handle concurrency
• Use caching, logging, and monitoring for large-scale apps
• Deploy Node.js apps with Docker, CI/CD, and cloud platforms

Backed by real-world examples and hands-on projects, this book bridges the gap between theory and implementation—so you can build scalable systems that actually work in production.
