How Important are Algorithms and Data Structures in Backend Engineering?

Algorithms & Data Structures are critical to Backend Engineering however it really depends on what kind of application and infrastructure you are building. In this video I want to go through the following 1 Backend Engineers are two types Integrating Existing Backend Core Backend Example Building a CRUD API? Online Cinema system, URL shortener, You will pick up a database and write your logic Building a social network? are you gonna be integrator use a ready made graph database? Are you gonna use a off the shelf database and write your logic in the application? Are you gonna build your own graph database platform? Any of these scenarios you will run into problems slow performance and you need to understand why Building a monitoring system? are you gonna integrate an existing database ? or build your own? 2. Be Pragmatic (Algorithms are not always the solution) Most performance issues are not algorithm problems, they are just bad bugs. and misuse .. paging We are a sorted 100 items takes 1 minute to sort and return.. merge sort or heap or quick sort won’t help you 3. Always keep learning to be open to learn new Algorithms 🏭 Software Architecture Videos    • Software Architecture   💾 Database Engineering Videos    • Database Engineering   🛰 Network Engineering Videos    • Network Engineering   🏰 Load Balancing and Proxies Videos    • Proxies   🐘 Postgres Videos    • PostgresSQL   🚢Docker    • Docker   🧮 Programming Pattern Videos    • Programming Patterns   🛡 Web Security Videos    • Web Security   🦠 HTTP Videos    • HTTP   🐍 Python Videos    • Python by Example   🔆 Javascript Videos    • Javascript by Example   👾Discord Server   / discord   Support me on PayPal https://bit.ly/33ENps4 Become a Patreon   / hnasr   Stay Awesome, Hussein
