Description
This course walks you through building a real Instagram-style application from scratch using a modern, type-safe fullstack stack.
You will build a fully featured app using NestJS, Next.js, tRPC, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, Better Auth, and Turborepo. The focus of this course is not just features, but architecture, end-to-end type safety, and an excellent development experience through shared types and code between the frontend and backend.
This is a hands-on, production-focused course where every feature is built end to end, from database schema to API to UI, using patterns you can reuse in real-world applications.
What You Will Build
By the end of this course, you will have a complete Instagram-style application that includes
• Secure authentication with shared types across backend and frontend
• A type-safe API using tRPC with full end-to-end inference
• Posts with image uploads, likes, comments, and saved posts
• Stories, user profiles, followers, and profile pictures
• A modern UI built with Tailwind and shadcn/ui
• A scalable monorepo using Turborepo with shared packages
• A NestJS backend designed for real production workloads
• Production deployment using AWS and Vercel
What You Will Learn
• How to design end-to-end type-safe APIs with tRPC
• How to share types and logic between frontend and backend safely
• How to structure a scalable Turborepo monorepo
• How to build clean NestJS services and routers
• How to model data with PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM
• How to implement JWT authentication correctly across the stack using Better Auth
• How to handle file uploads and media in production using AWS S3
• How to deploy a fullstack application to production using AWS ElasticBeanstalk
Who This Course Is For
This course is for JavaScript and TypeScript developers who want to build real fullstack applications with modern tooling and strong type safety.
It is especially valuable for developers who care about clean architecture, developer experience, and eliminating API mismatches between frontend and backend.
You should be comfortable with TypeScript fundamentals & basic NestJS + Next.js concepts.
Why This Course
Most tutorials stop at simple examples or skip over important architectural decisions. This course focuses on building a real application with shared types, real data models, and production deployment so you can apply the same patterns in your own projects or at work.
Who this course is for
■ TypeScript developers who want to build real fullstack applications
■ Developers interested in end-to-end type safety with tRPC
■ Engineers who want to improve developer experience by sharing types across the stack
■ Frontend developers who want a production-ready backend architecture
■ Backend developers who want to modernize their frontend workflow
