This module teaches participants how to develop and implement back-end solutions using R. Participants will learn to build APIs with Plumber, automate data workflows, and integrate R with databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL). The module covers advanced data processing techniques, API security, and scaling R solutions for production environments. By the end, participants will be able to create back-end systems that connect R to databases and handle large-scale data workflows.

• Introduction to back-end development with R
• Building APIs with R
• Database connections with R (MySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Automating data workflows
• API security and user authentication
• Scaling R solutions for production environments

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Develop back-end systems using R
• Build APIs with R
• Connect R to databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL
• Automate data pipelines
• Secure APIs and handle authentication for users

The module includes a combination of theoretical lessons and practical labs. Participants will work on building APIs and data pipelines using R, with guidance on integrating R with databases and ensuring security in back-end applications. Real-world case studies will be used to simulate production environments.
