What you’ll learn
- Build a complete backend project using GoLang, including project structure, API development, and modular code organization.
- Integrate PostgreSQL to design, manage, and query relational databases effectively in a real-world application.
- Secure your backend with JWT authentication, implementing user login, token management, and protected routes.
- Use Docker Compose to containerize your application, enabling consistent and portable development and deployment
- Implement monitoring and observability using Grafana and Telemetry, gaining insight into system performance and behavior.
For backend development, GoLang is chosen due to its speed, concurrency support, and efficient performance, making it ideal for scalable web services. PostgreSQL serves as the robust and reliable database system, offering advanced features like full-text search, complex queries, and strong ACID compliance, which ensures data integrity and reliable transactions.
Docker Compose is employed for seamless containerization and environment management. It simplifies deploying services, databases, and tools in isolated containers, enhancing development consistency across environments and improving deployment pipelines.
Grafana is integrated for insightful monitoring and visualization. It allows tracking key metrics, performance data, and application health in real time, helping developers and DevOps teams identify and resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
JWT (JSON Web Tokens) is used for secure authentication and authorization. It ensures safe user access control by transmitting verified identity information between client and server in a stateless, encrypted format that enhances session security.
Telemetry plays a crucial role in collecting real-time operational data. It enables observability by capturing metrics, logs, and traces from services, which are vital for understanding application behavior, detecting anomalies, and improving performance.
Together, this stack forms a modern, efficient, and secure backend architecture suitable for scalable applications, ensuring maintainability, real-time insights, resilience, and strong security measures throughout the development lifecycle.
Who this course is for:
- Aspiring backend developers, GoLang learners, and software engineers who want to build a real-world project using modern tools like Docker, PostgreSQL, JWT, and Grafana.
