Description
The Complete NestJS & Prisma Backend Masterclass (Part 1: Foundational API & Core Feature Development)

Are You Tired of Backend Tutorials That Skip the Crucial First Steps?

Do you struggle withproject setup, environment configuration, and structuringa NestJS app so it's truly ready for production? Many courses teach basic CRUD but leave you hanging when it comes tosecure authentication, proper architecture, and scaling—the very things companies pay for!

The Pain Points We Solve

This course is designed to eliminate those headaches. We tackle the most common developer pain points head-on:

Pain:"I can't set up a consistent database environment."

Solution:We useDockerfor a reliable, repeatablePostgreSQLsetup.

Pain:"My code is messy, and I spend too much time debugging structure."

Solution:We enforce professional standards usingTypeScript aliases, ESLint, and Prettierfor clean, maintainable code.

Pain:"I fear implementing user registration and login securely."

Solution:You will build a rock-solid, production-readyJWT-based Authenticationsystem and masterRole-Based Access Control (RBAC).

Pain:"I struggle with complex database relations."

Solution:You will masterPrisma ORMto efficiently manage the intricate data relationships required for Teams, Projects, and Tasks.

What You Will Achieve—Master Core Backend Mastery

This Masterclass provides the immediate skills you need to land your next job or build your next startup. You won't just learn theory; you willbuild a full Team Management System APIfrom the ground up, resulting in a significant portfolio piece.

By the end of Part 1, you will be able to confidently:

Architecta professional, multi-module NestJS application structure.

Securely manageuser data, authentication, and authorizationusing industry best practices.

Build the foundationalTeam and Project featuresthat power complex applications.

Implement a crucial real-world feature:Secure Email-based Invitationsusing Nodemailer.

Build the Foundation for Success:Create a Robust, Production-Ready API Skeleton with NestJS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL!

Welcome to the start of your journey toward becoming an advanced backend developer!Part 1of this Masterclass is your essential foundation, guiding you step-by-step through setting up a modern, scalable, and fully functional API.

In this project-based course (Trello Clone Backend API), you will build the core architecture and essential features of aTeam, Project, and Task Management System. You'll move beyond simple tutorials to integrate powerful technologies likeNestJS(the most professional Node.js framework),Prisma ORM(for safe, type-safe database access), andPostgreSQL(the industry-standard relational database).

By the end of this course, you will have a fully structured, well-organized API complete with secure authentication and the ability to manage user teams and projects.

What You Will Learn & Build (Modules M1-M7)

Professional Project Setup (M1)

Set up a clean, production-ready development environment, includingPostgreSQL via Dockerfor consistency.

MasterTypeScript aliases, ESLint, and Prettierto enforce code quality standards from day one.

Plan and implement a professionalNestJS Project Architectureusing modules, services, and controllers.

2. Database & Authentication Core (M2)

Deep dive intoPrisma ORMfor schema design, migrations, and model creation (Users, Roles).

Implement a robustJWT-based Authentication systemcomplete with user registration, login, and refresh tokens.

Develop a secureRole-Based Access Control (RBAC)system using custom NestJSGuardsandDecorators.

3. Team & Project Management Features (M3, M5)

Build the coreTeam Module(creation, member management) and define complexmany-to-many relationshipsbetween Users, Teams, and Projects.

Implement theProject and Task Models, including features for adding transactions (if applicable to your project model).

Master advanced querying techniques likePagination and Filteringfor handling task lists efficiently.

4. Secure Team Invitations (M4)

Implement an asynchronousEmail Notification flowusingNodemailerfor professional communication.

Design and build a secure system toSend and Accept Team Invitations, handling database migrations and creating new team members automatically.

5. Optimization and Performance (M6, M7)

Understand the importance of database performance and implementindexingin your PostgreSQL database using Prisma.

Structure and test the basicTask Module(creation, assignment, updates) as a functional prerequisite for Part 2.
