If you are new to backend engineering, avoid these common traps …

1. Skipping the fundamentals.
   HTTP, REST, design, databases, and security are essential for backend developers

2. Ignore error handling.
   Learning to build resilient systems is as essential as getting a 200 OK.

3. Skipping unit tests.
   Even basic tests can save you hours in the future.

4. Over-engineering too early.
   You don’t need microservices, message queues, and autoscaling from day one. Start simple, build something real, then improve as needed.

To keep it simple:
Ship. Learn. Break things. Ask questions.
