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 API development using Node.js and Express, and it's been an exciting journey!

Here's what I've learned so far:

  • Node.js's asynchronous nature is a game-changer for handling concurrent requests efficiently.
  • Express.js provides a robust framework for building RESTful APIs with ease.
  • Middleware is key for adding functionality like authentication, logging, and error handling.
  • Caching strategies are essential for optimizing performance and reducing database load.
  • Load balancing and horizontal scaling are crucial for handling peak traffic.

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