Description

Welcome to my Udemy course on Building a Session-Based Authentication Flow Using Node.js, GraphQL, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Redis! In this course, you'll learn how to create a robust session-based authentication flow using some of the most popular and widely-used technologies in web development. We'll start with an overview of the benefits of using session-based authentication and how it differs from other types of authentication. Then we'll dive into the practical implementation details, starting with setting up a Node.js server with TypeScript support. Next, we'll introduce the GraphQL query language and use it to build out the necessary API endpoints for user authentication, registration, and management. Along the way, we'll integrate PostgreSQL, a powerful and flexible relational database, to store user data securely. We'll also cover the use of Redis, an in-memory key-value store, to handle session management and stateful authentication. You'll learn how to configure Redis and how to use it to create and manage user sessions, ensuring that your application remains secure and performant. By the end of the course, you'll have a complete and fully-functional session-based authentication flow that you can use as a starting point for your own web applications. Enroll today and start building more secure and robust web applications with Node.js, GraphQL, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Redis!
