What you will build

Six portfolio projects.

Production-ready projects you can show recruiters on day one.

01 · Full-Stack

Spotify Music Time Machine

Build a real SaaS app end-to-end. OAuth 2.0 login, a proper SQLite schema, and a Flask interface. Unlock your Spotify data and show off your full-stack skills with this polished project.

OAuth 2.0 Flask SQLite

Ch. 16

02 · DevOps

Cloud-Native News Service

Docker, AWS ECS Fargate, RDS, and a GitHub Actions pipeline so every git push ships to production. The DevOps workflow expected at any mid-to-senior role.

Docker AWS ECS CI/CD

Ch. 27

03 · Capstone

Multi-Source Analytics Platform

Async workers across multiple APIs, webhook routing, and a production microservices architecture on AWS. The kind of architecture diagram you'll be drawing in your first senior interview.

Microservices AWS Async

Ch. 30

04 · API Design

News Aggregator API

Build your own. FastAPI with auto-generated OpenAPI docs, JWT auth, rate limiting, and async webhook delivery. The project that flips you from consumer to producer.

Common questions.

How is this different from a bootcamp?

Bootcamps cost €7,500+ and run on someone else's schedule. This covers the same production patterns (OAuth, Docker, AWS) at your own pace, for €35, with lifetime access.

Who is this book for?

You need basic Python (variables, functions, loops). The book starts beginner and finishes at mid-level engineer, covering Docker, PostgreSQL, and full AWS deployment.
