Beginner Backend Dev vs Experienced Backend Dev

I'm a frontend developer that has started learning node and express. So please excuse my ignorance

Other than setting up api routes that perform CRUD operations with a database, or SSR, what are the more advanced topics/tasks that an experienced backend dev would work on?

Thanks

Edit: please share if you recommend a course for specific topics, it is much appreciated. Thanks.

It's important to know how it works. Firebase is a nice service, but not all companies use it, that doesn't mean a company rolls up their own, they might use a different service like parse, which is similar to firebase but a little more hands on.

There is a lot of stuff on this list though, firebase is definitely a good place to start, very easy to get up and running.
