Node.js provides an optimal foundation for implementing server-side JavaScript. This training equips participants with all the necessary tools and concepts to implement backend code for a wide variety of scenarios. The following topics are covered:

• Implementation of REST Services: Learn how to efficiently build RESTful APIs with Node.js and ensure they are scalable and extensible.
• Database access to relational database systems: Learn how to connect to and query relational databases (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL) with Node.js in a high-performance manner.
• Asynchronous communication via Apache Kafka: Use Apache Kafka for asynchronous data processing and to ensure an event-driven architecture.
• Using TypeScript for statically typed code: TypeScript brings type safety to your project – we show you how to set up and maintain Node.js projects with TypeScript.
• Implementation of batch processes: Learn how to efficiently implement recurring tasks (e.g., data aggregation) as batch processes.
• Implementing microservices with Node.js: Develop microservices and learn about their advantages and challenges.
• Integration with Angular, React or Vue.js: Understand how Node.js backends can be easily integrated with modern frontend technologies.
