The Backend Master Class with Golang, Postgres, Kubernetes & gRPC is a complete, practical guide for anyone who wants to master backend engineering by building and deploying production-grade APIs. You’ll learn every step of modern backend development — from designing relational databases and writing clean, testable code to containerising, scaling, and deploying applications in the cloud.

The course begins with Postgres and SQLC, teaching you how to design efficient database schemas, write SQL queries, and generate Go code automatically for seamless integration. You’ll learn how to use Docker to manage Postgres environments, implement CRUD operations, handle transactions, avoid deadlocks, and set up GitHub Actions for continuous integration. Each lesson combines theory with hands-on coding to ensure you gain practical skills that directly apply to real-world projects.

Next, you’ll build secure, high-performance RESTful APIs using the Gin framework in Golang. You’ll implement features such as configuration management, database mocking for testing, user authentication, and password encryption. The course also explores modern token standards like PASETO, explaining why it’s a safer alternative to traditional JWTs. You’ll build full-featured login systems, authentication middleware, and role-based access control, ensuring your APIs are secure and production-ready.

Once your application is built, you’ll take it to the next level with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. You’ll learn how to create lightweight Docker images, set up Docker Compose for local development, and write production-optimised Dockerfiles. The course walks you through deploying your services to AWS, configuring Kubernetes manifests, managing secrets securely, scaling with Kubernetes clusters, and automating CI/CD pipelines. You’ll also register a domain, configure ingress routing, and automate TLS certificates using Let’s Encrypt, ensuring a professional, fully secure deployment pipeline.

In the advanced modules, you’ll integrate gRPC into your architecture for high-performance inter-service communication. You’ll define gRPC APIs, implement services, generate client stubs, and create a REST-to-gRPC gateway for hybrid systems. You’ll also explore advanced backend practices such as structured logging, partial updates, validation, and role-based access control, as well as asynchronous task processing with Asynq and Redis to handle background jobs and improve scalability.

By the end of this master class, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to build, test, and deploy scalable, secure, and maintainable backend systems. You’ll walk away with a complete production-ready project that showcases your skills across database management, API design, cloud deployment, and distributed architecture — exactly what top tech companies look for in backend developers today.
