Manager IT Infrastructure

A course on the named patterns that make microservice architectures workable: strangler fig, API gateway, backends for frontends, service discovery, circuit breaker, bulkhead, retry, sidecar, service mesh, database per service, saga, transactional outbox, event-driven architecture, CQRS, event sourcing and externalised configuration. Each pattern starts with the problem it solves and the cost it adds, with short Java examples. It suits developers and aspiring architects working with, or moving towards, service-based systems.

A course on the judgment behind microservices in a system design round: when to choose them over a monolith, how to draw service boundaries, how services communicate, how to handle failure and keep data consistent, and how microservices run in production. It ends with full interview scenarios and a rapid-review question bank. Every lesson closes with a speakable 30-second answer and likely follow-ups. It suits engineers who need to discuss microservice trade-offs convincingly.
