Language: scala, java, golang, rust 
 DB: Depending on the problem maybe mysql, postgres, cassandra or scylldb 
 Cloud gcp or aws doesn’t make much difference unless you are looking for something specific like dynamodb from aws or bigquery from google

@RealOldmonk  Thanks! curious to know,  are you working in any of these techs?

Yes have worked in all of the above, bits and pieces in rust though

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Before you go about how "stack isn't important, skill is", the purpose of this post to understand what the current market trend is for backend. 
A bit about me, I'm a backend dev with experience in Node.js, MySQL and MongoDB. Around 4 YoE. 
My goal is to work in a company that serves customers at scale, and to learn how to engineer at scale. If you work in such a company / know someone who does, what stacks are you/they using and how are they using it? I'm seeking answers in terms of language, DB, cloud providers, etc.

Backend stack to prepare for- Grapevine

I generally come across 
Web: MERN with Typescript
Mobile: Kotlin with compose, Flutter, Objective C, React Native
Desktop: Java with Spring, C++

I want to know the tech stack before applying to companies.

What are the tech stack used in top companies?

I'm interested in backend development.... previously I've tried my hands on frontend dev and I was not cut for it. I've experience with Django and Fastapi. I'm looking for articles and tips on how they develop the backend solutions for the big companies? Like the structure and all the fuss associated with it. Please help......

Backend Dev tips?

Hi everyone, I am a frontend developer(3yr+) who wants to switch to backend development. I am looking for some advice from people who have made a similar transition in their career. How was your journey and what was your plan?

What do you recommend I should do to become a backend developer? What skills and technologies should I learn?

Also, how should I handle the salary and job search aspects? Should I take a salary cut or join at the same salary? 💰 How should I approach HR or put myself on job portals?

Please help me. I am feeling confused and unsure about my career path.🙏

How to transition from frontend to backend development?

I'm planning to learn backend.
1. After backend basics, which language and framework should I start with
2. Should I have to learn front end technologies too? 

From google getting very generic response.

Blunt advice

I have been doing Python, Django, and React for 3.5 years, and now Im working with FastAPI and AI LLM for the last 6 months.  
I want to learn one more stack and was wondering which would go best with what I already have. I'm thinking of Golang or maybe Java.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Engineering Manager

I've recently started my journey with a product-based company as a fresher, where my primary focus revolves around backend development using Node.js. Although I thoroughly enjoy delving into backend architecture and databases, I find myself at a crossroads. Heard many discussions among seniors of the rise of Deno, Go, and Rust, suggesting a shift from JavaScript. In view of a long-term perspective, I am contemplating dedicating time to learning an additional technology and engaging in side projects. Could you kindly share your insights or recommendations based on your experience? Your guidance in this tech landscape would be greatly appreciated. #BackendExploration #TechInsights

Fresher. Need help with choosing technologies.

Please answer??? In terms of pay, future scope etc

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Just an hour ago I had a talk with someone I got to knew through my neighbour. He is a backend engineer by profession and experienced in the field. So I contacted him as I was looking for any job/internship and if he could refer me in any company through his networking. He asked what I was currently learning so I told him I am doing Full-Stack. I did 3 months internship in frontend and was going for backend so I could become a full-fledged developer. He told me not to do that instead pick either frontend or backend and go for it. He advised that big companies usually don't hire full-stack developers instead hire these roles separately so I should just focus on the domain I am good at.

My placements are very close and I am learning as much as I can full-time so what should I do? I am already anxious whether I will get placed or not due to current market situation and advice like this makes me doubt whether I am going correctly or just wasting my time and efforts.

So; can anyone tell me what should I do? Should I do full-stack or go with either frontend or backend?

Should I just focus in one field?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I'm a software engineer with 2 years of experience. I feel like I don't have programming acumen and can't understand things like others. I really struggle at my job and has to give extra time even weekend to perform at my job. 
I don't understand big codebase, integration services.
I feel like quitting this job and do something else but can't gather enough courage as job is paying well and paying my education loan also.

Please suggest what should I do?
How can I become better at my job and do well without feeling humiliation daily

Who's hiring backend engineers?

Backend Engineer

After the exciting 2+ yrs ( including 6 months internship) as a software developer, I have decided to move on to a new opportunity at a company with a strong financial foundation. 

I'd love to connect with folks working in the Backend Development space, passionate about building high-performance APIs and microservices ( Node.js/MongoDB/MySQL).

As we know, the tech industry has seen its share of changes lately, I have been actively exploring the job market for the past 2 months but no luck. So, if you're aware of any exciting opportunities or know of hiring managers, I'd love to hear from you.

Looking for a job switch

Hi folks, I am a frontend engineer. A bit of background about me:

- Exp: 4 years
- Tech: Over the years, I have only worked on frontend and some build tooling. For all these years I have only used JS/TS and ReactJS to the point where I currently feel handicapped in other languages.

My problem with frontend:

Most companies I have worked till now except for one, frontend is just converting the UI designs to UI code as fast as possible. Most companies do not offer much time to think about different cases for a component and write it well. Its mostly, if it works then push. Contrast to this, BE does get proper design + arch to ensure it scales well with future requirements.

Why I am thinking of backend/fullstack roles?

Seems better from future point of view. Progression is clear in BE, lot more roles it seems, interview process is mostly standard. In FE its sometimes FE releated, some DSA etc. So never sure what they going to ask. Also, progression in FE is bit unclear and how to make a case for it.

What are my options?
1) In my current company, BE is Java + Springboot, I have started doing some BE tasks here and there but seems Java + Springboot is a mammoth and I dont know if I will be good enough for a switch of roles with this experience. Switching inside the company feels a far fetched dream since there are far less number of FE devs and I have to mostly work on FE tasks one after the other because of scarcity.

2) Learn and do some side projects in Node.js since already familiar with JS and also had done some small APIs(freecodecamp) based on nodejs in the past.

3) Learn python, good for backend software dev + good for ml also going forward. Seems easier than Java to get started with django.

Primary confusion between  2 & 3 is, does side project make any difference when switching for roles or will actual job experience with option 1 be of more value even though it will take a long long time? 

Please suggest if someone has switched roles before.

Thanks.

Moving from Frontend to Backend/Fullstack roles?

40LPA as Frontend Dev
30LPA as Backend Dev

Which offer should I choose?

I am currently employed in a startup where I work in the frontend part of the application written in Angular. How should I approach backend development. Is this even needed or just FE knowledge is enough for EM/architect roles.
