This 1-day masterclass is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and roadmap to better understand software architecture and to become an effective software architect. Through interactive course materials and architecture exercises, you’ll learn about architectural characteristics (things like scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, and so on), what they mean, and how to identify which ones are critical for your system. You’ll then learn what it means to “see” the architecture in a system through logical components—the building blocks of a system. Here, you’ll also learn about coupling and how to create loosely coupled systems. Finally, you’ll learn the ins-and-outs of 8 common architectural styles, including microservices, event-driven architecture, modular monolith, and a host of others. Whether you are on the path of developer to architect or already an architect, this masterclass will provide you with the necessary practical hands-on real-world knowledge to understand what software architecture is all about.
