Masterclass

Designing Microservices: From Architecting to Data Modeling

About

How does designing microservices differ from designing more traditional applications? What is a better way to learn than to take a problem, analyse the requirements, explore the design options, apply the concepts of bounded context, and arrive at the architecture and design of Microservices to realize the requirements? Come to this workshop to get practical, hands-on practice to navigate from requirements to a workable solution and along the way learn about different architectural goals and approaches that can help with design.

Course contents

This workshop is hands-on and includes a good balance between lectures and group exercises. Attendees are encouraged to pair and work on the labs. The workshop is highly interactive and expects the attendees to participate in creating solutions for the example requirements we’ll take. The topics covered include:

Microservices vs. Monoliths:
-what are they
-fundamental differences
-when to build one vs. the other
-exercise

Tenets of Microservices:
-does and don’ts
-Core principles
-Variations in architecture
-building microservices
-exercise

Design Considerations:
-design principles
-evaluating the trade offs
-priorities when building microservices
-exercise

Data Modeling:
-DDD
-bounded context
-case study
-creating distributed data model for microservices
-exercise

Target audience and prerequisites

Software developers, programmers, leads, architects who are keenly interested in learning about what it takes to create microservices from the architecture down to the design and code level.
