Building reliable backend systems requires more than knowing how to write code. Modern applications need well-designed APIs, secure authentication, efficient databases, automated testing, containerized environments, and production-ready deployment practices.
Building Production-Grade Backend Systems (Book 1): Foundations is a practical guide for developers who want to strengthen their backend engineering skills and learn how the major pieces of a modern backend system work together.
Written by Israel Joshua Chukwubueze, formerly known as Christopher Ekene Okade, a web and mobile app designer and developer with over 14 years of experience, this book combines practical development concepts with real-world engineering practices to help you build stronger and more maintainable backend applications.
Inside This Book, You Will Learn:
- Python for Backend Development: Build a solid foundation in Python concepts that are essential for professional backend programming.
- Modern API Development: Understand REST principles, API architecture, request validation, error handling, documentation, and versioning.
- FastAPI: Build high-performance APIs and understand why FastAPI has become a popular choice for modern Python backend development.

- Authentication and Security: Understand authentication, authorization, common API vulnerabilities, and practical security-hardening techniques.
- Docker and Containers: Package applications consistently and build multi-container environments for development and deployment.
- Testing and Debugging: Apply unit, integration, and end-to-end testing while developing effective debugging and logging practices.
- Performance and Caching: Learn practical techniques for improving API performance and handling growing workloads.
- CI/CD and Deployment: Understand the foundations of automated deployment pipelines and production delivery.
- Monitoring and Observability: Learn the essential practices for monitoring backend applications after deployment.
- Real-World Project: Bring the concepts together by building a complete REST API from scratch.
