What this is
Architect and build production-grade microservices from service decomposition to inter-service communication, resilience patterns, and observability.
It is a self-paced course of written lessons and exercises. It does not include live instruction, one-to-one coaching or individual feedback on your work, and it cannot promise any particular job, income, ranking, certification or business result — what you get out of it depends on your own situation and the practice you put in.
What you will be able to do
- Monolith-to-microservices decomposition strategies
- REST, gRPC, and event-driven communication patterns
- Service mesh with Istio and Linkerd
- Saga pattern, CQRS, and event sourcing
- Circuit breakers, retries, and bulkhead patterns
- Distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry and Jaeger
