Backend stack to prepare for

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.

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

How to transition from frontend to backend development?

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.🙏

Blunt advice

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.

Fresher. Need help with choosing technologies.

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
