Hi, I’m Hanan Ahmed, a cloud developer passionate about AWS and serverless architectures. Over the years, I’ve built projects using AWS and React, but now, I’m diving into Backend Development to level up my backend development skills.
Why This Blog?
I started this blog to document my learning journey, share insights from real-world projects, and help others who are on a similar path. Writing about what I learn helps reinforce my knowledge and creates a resource that others can benefit from.
What's the plan?
Plan is to learn backend development but in a structured way. I want to start simple, i.e., creating simple APIs and eventually notching up the difficulty as I learn and go further. To start my journey, I have decided on FastAPI.
Why FastAPI?
I chose FastAPI because it’s:
✅ Fast & async-first—ideal for modern web apps.
✅ Easy to use—yet powerful for large-scale APIs.
✅ Built-in validation & documentation—less boilerplate, more productivity.
Since I’m already comfortable with AWS and cloud deployments, I’ll also explore how to deploy FastAPI on AWS using Lambda, ECS, or EC2.
What You Can Expect
🔹 Technical deep dives into FastAPI and backend development.
🔹 Project breakdowns—how I build and deploy APIs with FastAPI.
🔹 AWS integrations—leveraging AWS services to scale FastAPI applications.
🔹 Lessons learned—mistakes, fixes, and best practices.
What’s Next?
I’m currently working on building scalable APIs with FastAPI and deploying them in the cloud. My goal is to master backend development starting with FastAPI and combine it with my AWS expertise for high-performance, serverless applications.
If you’re interested in FastAPI, AWS, or backend development, stick around—I’d love to connect and learn together! 🚀
Before you go, I want to highlight that what I have mentioned about my learning plan isn't set in stone kind of thing if I feel there is something better that can help me achieve my goal (which is backend development), I might switch to that but I will keep you posted.
