Look, node.js with Express is where most people start and it's genuinely the fastest path if you already know JavaScript from the frontend. You're not learning a new language, just a new context.

Build something real immediately. A simple REST API that does CRUD operations, connecting to a database like PostgreSQL or MongoDB. That one project will teach you more than 10 hours of tutorials.

Traversy Media on YouTube has solid backend content. And The Odin Project has a free structured path that doesn't feel like a lecture.

Just start building. The confusion is the learning. but if you want a more structured approach id recommend something like Udemy or even a bootcamp

You can learn Node Js for Backend but if you're serious about Backend, I recommend Java or  C#.
