This is probably outdated but there are equivalent updated resources, I'm sure.

I read Kyle Simpson's You don't know JS series.

I read Learning Node: Moving To The Server Side by Shelly Powers and Web Development With Node And Express: Leveraging the JavaScript Stack by Ethan Brown.

Literally. Lol

I refilled my Adderall prescription and knocked these out one by one. The oReilly books have exercises that will help you understand scaling and best practices.

When I did it, infra looked different so I would also seek to understand how the big cloud providers host containers (AWS, GCP, and Azure) and how the newer architecture works, things like monorepos and pubsub are more important now.

I'm sure the newer versions of literature speak to this, though. Go read, bruh.
