Backend & Database Technologies
My Backend Technology Stack
I've worked with a diverse range of backend technologies and database systems, allowing me to choose the right tool for each specific project requirement. Here's an overview of the technologies I'm proficient with:
Backend Frameworks
Node.js & Express
JavaScript runtime and minimalist web framework for building scalable APIs and microservices.
Django & Flask
Python frameworks for rapid development of secure and maintainable websites and APIs.
Spring Boot
Java-based framework for building enterprise-grade applications with minimal configuration.
NestJS
Progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.
Database Systems
SQL Databases
PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server for relational data with ACID compliance.
NoSQL Databases
MongoDB, Firebase, and DynamoDB for flexible schema and horizontal scaling.
In-Memory Databases
Redis and Memcached for caching, session storage, and real-time analytics.
Graph Databases
Neo4j and Amazon Neptune for complex relationship modeling and traversal.
Serverless Architecture
Experience with AWS Lambda, Vercel Functions, and Firebase Cloud Functions for event-driven, scalable applications without server management.
Containerization & Orchestration
Proficient with Docker and Kubernetes for containerizing applications and managing deployments across environments.
API Development & Integration
Expertise in RESTful API design, GraphQL, and WebSockets for real-time communication and data exchange.
Database Selection Philosophy
Choosing the right database is crucial for application success. My approach is to select the database technology based on data structure, access patterns, scalability needs, and consistency requirements.
When to Choose SQL
- •Complex queries and transactions requiring ACID properties
- •Well-defined, stable schema with relational data
- •Data integrity and consistency are critical
When to Choose NoSQL
- •Rapid development with evolving schema requirements
- •Horizontal scaling for large volumes of data
- •Hierarchical data or complex relationships (graph databases)
Technology Comparison
Comparing different technologies helps you choose the right tool for your specific needs. This comparison highlights key characteristics of popular backend and database technologies.
| Technology | Type | Best For | Learning Curve | Scalability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Node.js JavaScript Runtime | Runtime | Real-time applications | Medium | High |
Django Python Framework | Framework | Full-stack applications | High | Medium |
PostgreSQL Relational Database | SQL Database | Complex queries, ACID | Medium | Medium |
MongoDB Document Database | NoSQL Database | Flexible schema | Low | High |
Redis Key-Value Store | In-Memory DB | Caching, real-time | High | High |
GraphQL Query Language | API Query Language | Flexible data fetching | Medium | High |
Docker Container Platform | Containerization | Consistent environments | Medium | High |
