Building Scalable APIs with Node.js and Express: A Developer's Journey 🚀

Ever wondered how to build APIs that can handle massive traffic and growth? 🤔

I've been diving deep into the world of scalable APIs using Node.js and Express, and it's been an exciting journey!

Here's what I've learned so far:

  • Node.js's event-driven architecture is a game-changer for handling concurrent requests efficiently.
  • Express.js framework provides a robust foundation for building RESTful APIs with ease.
  • Middleware is key for handling authentication, logging, and other crucial tasks.
  • Caching strategies like Redis can significantly improve performance.
  • Microservices architecture allows for modularity and scalability.

I'm excited to continue exploring this space and share my learnings with the community.
