Backend & API Development Challenges
Backend & API Development challenges put you behind the systems that power every product, where you design the contracts other teams build on. You'll work through REST API Design and HTTP Fundamentals, build services with FastAPI, model data with GraphQL schema design, and harden access with OAuth 2.0 / JWT.
From there you'll handle the harder edges — API security (OWASP API Top 10), rate limiting, API versioning, multi-tenancy architecture, and API gateway patterns (Kong, Envoy) — the way platform teams actually run them in production. Each challenge you solve earns a verified credential you can share with recruiters.
