You'll learn how to set up a Node app, build a web API with Express, integrate with MongoDB, and cache HTTP results with Redis. You'll also learn some expert techniques, such as offloading and proxying requests to multiple Node servers, organizing API routes, and avoiding blocking process and taking advantage of Node's event loop.
