This repository is a collection I've put together, focusing on various backend engineering topics. It's a place where you can find information on API design, databases, deployment, distributed computing, networking, performance optimization, security, and even more specialized areas. Each topic is broken down into a Markdown file, found in the notes directory. Here, I've tried my best to provide detailed notes, explanations, and examples.

I try to keep these notes updated and expanded regularly, aiming to provide up-to-date, relevant information. Of course, if you have any contributions or suggestions, they're more than welcome. We're all learning together, after all.

To begin, clone the repository to your local machine and navigate to the "notes" directory to access each topic's Markdown file.
