Say Yes to Build Real APIs in Node.js/NestJS

🔧 Inside Our Backend Bootcamp: Build Real APIs in Node.js/NestJS If you’ve learned backend basics but never built something real—you’re not alone. At Meander, our Backend Bootcamp changes that. You’ll go from theory to deploying real, production-grade APIs using industry tools. Here’s what you'll build and learn.


🚀 1. Real-World API Projects No to-do lists. You’ll build:
  • Auth-enabled user systems
  • CRUD-based admin dashboards
  • E-commerce cart APIs
  • Booking engines, product listings, and more
🎯 Projects mimic real SaaS and app backends.
🧩 2. Core Stack: Node.js + NestJS Why NestJS?
  • Clean architecture
  • TypeScript support
  • Scalable structure
  • Dependency injection & modules
🎯 This is what real companies use for maintainable, secure apps.
🔐 3. Authentication & Authorization You’ll implement:
  • JWT-based login/signup flows
  • Role-based access control
  • Password hashing and session security
🎯 Secure systems = job-ready systems.
🗃️ 4. Database & ORM Skills Work with:
  • PostgreSQL / MongoDB
  • TypeORM or Prisma
  • Schema design, relations, migrations
🎯 You’ll structure databases like a backend engineer—not a student.
🧪 5. Testing & Error Handling You’ll write:
  • Unit tests for services
  • API tests with Postman or Swagger
  • Proper validation and global error filters
🎯 Real-world backends need to be reliable and tested.
🚀 6. Deployment & API Docs You’ll deploy APIs with:
  • GitHub + CI/CD
  • Render / Railway / Docker (optional)
  • Swagger for auto-generated documentation
🎯 You walk out with live links you can show recruiters or clients.
✅ Final Thought Most backend learners write functions.
You’ll write APIs that work, scale, and impress. Meander’s Backend Bootcamp trains you like an engineer, not a student. Build. Deploy. Get hired.
