Backend Engineering Roadmap: What to Learn from Fundamentals to Production

This video explains a complete roadmap for Backend Engineering, outlining the
key concepts, technologies, and architectural principles required to build
modern backend systems.

The roadmap progresses from core networking and HTTP fundamentals to advanced
topics such as security, data persistence, system architecture, performance
optimization, and deployment. It is intended for students, aspiring backend
developers, and software engineers who want a clear learning path for backend
development.

📚 Roadmap Overview:

• Backend fundamentals and how web requests flow
• HTTP protocol, headers, methods, caching, and CORS
• API design, routing, and RESTful architecture
• Authentication, authorization, and backend security
• Middleware, request lifecycle, and business logic layers
• Databases, caching strategies, and search systems
• Performance optimization, scaling, and observability
• Testing strategies, CI/CD, containers, and deployments

This roadmap focuses on understanding how backend systems work in production,
not just how to use frameworks. By following this path, you will develop strong
foundational knowledge and practical engineering intuition for backend
development.
