Mastering Backend Development with Node.js & Microservices โ€“ My Journey So Far

Hey Devs ๐Ÿ‘‹,

I'm Nazmul Hosen, a Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead at Naria IT Solution. Over the past few years, Iโ€™ve worked extensively with Node.js, Express, TypeScript, and PostgreSQLโ€”building backend systems for complex platforms like OTAs (Online Travel Agencies).

๐Ÿง  What I'm Currently Hacking On

Lately, Iโ€™ve been diving deep into:

  • Microservices architecture โ€“ Breaking down monoliths into scalable services.
  • Advanced Node.js โ€“ Improving performance, structuring codebases, and applying best practices.
  • API Integrations โ€“ Working with third-party flight APIs to build real-time search and booking.

๐Ÿ’ก Key Lessons So Far

  • Clean code and SOLID principles go a long way.
  • Error handling, retries, and observability are critical in distributed systems.
  • Always design with scale and future features in mind.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Tools I'm Loving Right Now

  • Node.js & Express.js
  • TypeScript
  • Prisma ORM
  • PostgreSQL & Redis
  • Docker (for containerized microservices)

๐Ÿ™Œ Letโ€™s Connect

If you're working on backend systems, scaling architecture, or integrating complex APIsโ€”I'd love to chat. Letโ€™s share ideas and learn together.

Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿš€
