Backend engineering involves the unseen components of an application, where data is stored, retrieved, and sent back to the user. If you've ever clicked a button on a website and wondered how the information appears on your screen, backend engineers are the ones ensuring that data flows smoothly from the server to the user.
In this project-based course, you'll learn how to build a complete REST API in Go from scratch and deploy it to the cloud, making it ready to receive real traffic and handle scale affordably.
The journey starts with building a simple TCP server to explore Go's net/http package. The goal of this resource is to provide you with the foundational knowledge to build and reason about backend systems, rather than just follow tutorial steps.
