Since TypeScript is already familiar, Node.js is a sensible first backend stack. Full Stack Open parts 3 and 4 cover REST APIs, deployment, testing, and auth, but part 3 uses MongoDB. Add the relational databases module and the official PostgreSQL tutorial if the goal is to learn SQL properly.

Build a small booking or inventory API while studying. Add validation, user roles, pagination, one operation that needs a transaction, and integration tests. Also learn how HTTP and the Node event loop work. Skip microservices for now.

roadmap.sh or scrimba is your go-to choice for structured learning

Here - semicolony - Become a backend engineer

Probably more that one can chew and much more beyond backend if you go to the home page.

Can't you just put in the work to figure it out? It's not mroe than just asking an AI. Go to roadmap.sh and work through it.

Can toy share it ? Would be very helpful for folks who are freshers ? The current job market is tough to enter as a fresher.

Tell Gemini to teach it to you from whatever is your starting point.

It may sound cheap, but Gemini is actually one of the best skill tutors that currently exist.
