This course features Coursera Coach!
A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this advanced course, you will master the key concepts of backend development, including API design, testing, deployment, and scaling. You’ll start by enhancing your FastAPI applications with custom middleware and detailed API documentation. The course dives deep into testing your FastAPI endpoints with pytest, exploring advanced techniques like automated testing and authentication testing. Furthermore, you’ll learn how to containerize your applications with Docker and deploy them to platforms like Render and AWS, ensuring your app is production-ready. You'll also gain hands-on experience with React.js, using it to build dynamic frontends that seamlessly integrate with your FastAPI backend. The course covers essential frontend concepts, including state management, authentication, and integrating with APIs via Axios. You’ll even learn how to implement QR code scanning functionality in your app, allowing for quick access to shipment data. Designed for advanced developers who want to build, test, and deploy high-performance applications, this course provides the skills needed to manage complex systems using cutting-edge tools and best practices. While prior experience with FastAPI, React, and basic web development is recommended, the course offers practical insights for scaling backend applications. By the end of the course, you will be able to design robust APIs, write thorough tests for your endpoints, deploy applications with Docker, and integrate with cloud platforms like AWS for production deployments.
