   • Building a GraphQL API with graphql-yoga or Apollo Server
   • Crafting mutations for user registration and login

4. Integrating PostgreSQL 🗃️

   • Setting up PostgreSQL for storing user data securely
   • Establishing database connections with ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) like TypeORM
   • Writing migration scripts to handle schema changes gracefully

5. Redis in Action ⚡

   • Understanding the role of Redis in session management
   • Configuring a Redis instance and integrating it with your Node.js app
   • Implementing session creation, updates, and deletion using Redis store

6. Building the Authentication Flow 🔒

   • Designing the session-based authentication flow
   • Handling user registration and secure login process
   • Protecting routes with middleware and session validation

7. Final Project & Real-World Application 🌟

   • Bringing all components together into a functional application
   • Testing the full stack to ensure security and functionality
   • Exporting your knowledge by creating a scalable authentication system

By the end of this course, you'll have a deep understanding of session-based authentication and how to implement it using Node.js, GraphQL, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Redis. You'll be equipped with the skills to build secure and efficient web applications that can handle authentication at scale.
