InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
While the best way is to get real experience working on a project, hopefully a piece of software that someone actually uses, there is something to be said for sites like Codewars. You log on, you solve a problem, and you compare your solution to the other users' solutions. It's great practice for when you're at a loss for what exactly you want to write.
Maybe a bit meta, but you should learn a build system. I highly recommend meson
