Building Microservice Architectures

• Previous programming experience

Audience

• Software developers
• System architects
• DevOps professionals

Microservice architecture is a design approach where applications are structured as a collection of loosely coupled services. This training provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of microservice architecture principles, best practices, and associated design patterns. The course includes practical exercises and real-world examples to help attendees design, implement, and manage robust microservice systems.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level software developers, system architects, and DevOps professionals who wish to build scalable and maintainable applications using a microservices architecture.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the core principles of microservices architecture.
• Design and implement scalable microservice-based systems.
• Apply design patterns and best practices for microservices.
• Implement event-driven approaches such as CQRS and event sourcing.
• Address challenges in system operations and microservices adoption.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
