How this course sits in the catalogue
Careery lists 104 Software Engineering courses, of which 50 are at intermediate level. Coursera / Meta accounts for 12 of the courses in the catalogue overall.
Three skills named on this course are uncommon across the rest of the catalogue: API Design (on 1 other course), REST (on 5 other courses) and Express (on 7 other courses). If that is the gap you are closing, there is not much else here that closes it.
Node.js, by contrast, is named on 32 other courses, so it is worth comparing price and length before enrolling for that alone.
Where this course fits
On Careery a course is the last step of one arc, not the first. Read your CV against the job you are targeting in CV and Job Match, check what that role pays and who is hiring for it in Job Scout, and what is left is a skill gap with a price attached, which is what Course Path orders.
