Become the backend engineer who can defend their design choices. Build the systems senior interviews actually ask about: resumable uploads, seat lockers under load, event sourcing, idempotent payments, microservices. Each project ships with two real solution approaches and a written tradeoff you can walk into a system design interview with.

What you'll ship
What you'll learn
Curriculum
Data infrastructure
Resumable uploads, link unfurling, auth as its own service, and reliable async queues.
High scale
Seat lockers, live auctions, real-time scorecards, and geospatial queries under load.
Distributed systems
Event sourcing, idempotent payments, feature flags, and a microservices capstone.
Production lifecycle
Hardening, observability, and the on-call story that keeps real systems alive.
Production operations
Container orchestration, secrets, blue-green, and the portfolio story.
Who it's for
who want to push toward senior but only ever ship CRUD at work
who can recite patterns but have never actually built any of them
whose side projects just hit real users and are starting to break
who want production reps without the politics of changing jobs
FAQ
The Masterclass teaches the language. The Accelerator makes you fluent under pressure. Masterclass walks you from zero to production patterns. Accelerator drops you into real briefs and forces you to defend a design choice for each one.
Yes. You should be comfortable building REST APIs and querying a database. If you cannot ship a CRUD service yet, start with the Backend Masterclass first.
Because real engineering is about tradeoffs. Pessimistic vs optimistic locking. Simple cache vs cache with stampede protection. Knowing both options and when each one is right is how you stop sounding like a junior in design reviews.
Yes. Each one is a runnable repo with a written tradeoff analysis. You can ship them to GitHub, link them on your resume, and walk through the design out loud. That is the conversation that promotes engineers.
