Course Description
Microservices architecture has transformed the way modern software systems are designed, enabling greater scalability, flexibility, and resilience. However, successfully adopting microservices requires a solid understanding of its principles, trade-offs, and best practices.
With over 20 years of experience as a software architect and instructor, and having trained over 300K students worldwide, I bring a real-world, hands-on approach to this course. Participants will learn why microservices emerged, what problems they solve, how to design microservices systems effectively, deploying and testing microservices, effects on the organization, and when microservices might not be the right choice.
By the end of this course, participants will have a strong foundation in microservices architecture, allowing them to make informed decisions and design scalable, maintainable systems using the microservices architecture.
