Mastering API Development Using NodeJS: Build, Secure, and Scale APIs with Node.js

By Mr ANEESH KUMAR

Master the complete lifecycle of API development using Node.js - from fundamentals to production deployment.

Whether you're a beginner learning backend development or an experienced engineer looking to level up, Mastering API Development Using Node.js gives you a practical, end-to-end roadmap for building real-world, production-grade APIs.

Across the book, you build a fully working Product API step by step-while learning every modern concept professional backend developers use:

What You'll Learn

API fundamentals: REST, HTTP, routing, controllers, services

Node.js internals: event loop, streams, modules, environment variables

Express framework mastery: middleware, routing, error handling

Validation & sanitization with Joi / express-validator

Logging & error handling using best practices

Database mastery: MongoDB + Mongoose, SQL + Sequelize

Advanced patterns: file upload/download, pagination, async workflows

Authentication & Authorization: JWT, passport-jwt, RBAC, refresh tokens

Testing your API with Jest, Mocha & Supertest

Documentation using OpenAPI/Swagger

Deployment & CI/CD: Docker, GitHub Actions, secrets management

Performance & scaling: Redis caching, clustering, load balancing

Security best practices: OWASP, Helmet, rate limiting, CSP, CORS

Hands-On Product API

Each chapter evolves a real Product Service, showing:

How to design routes

Add validation & security

Implement CRUD with MongoDB/SQL

Add caching, logging, testing, and CI/CD
By the end, you'll have a fully functional, scalable, secure API ready for real-world use.
