Format: Live Virtual Training
Duration: 1-Day Class
Instructors: Mark Richards and Neal Ford
Software architects have no clean, easy decisions: everything is a terrible tradeoff. Architecture has lots of difficult problems, which this platform-agnostic class highlights by investigating what makes architecture so hard. This hands-on, platform-agnostic architecture class goes beyond the fundamentals of software architecture and focuses on the really hard problems. This class focuses primarily on aspects of distributed architectures and on areas surrounding modularity versus granularity, the challenges of event-driven architectures (including difficult error handing issues), distributed architecture patterns and how to decouple services to achieve proper granularity. Architecture is full of hard parts; by attending this workshop you can gain the insights and techniques to make it just a little softer.
Like the 2-day class, this abbreviated 1-day class is divided into 2 main parts:
- Part 1: Pulling Things Part (Modularity and Building Blocks)
- Part 2: Putting Them Back Together (Patterns and Tradeoffs)
Pulling things apart (Part 1) focuses on how to break up systems and identify levels of modularity. However, once you’ve broken apart your systems, how do you tie them back together? Putting them back together (Part 2) focuses on just this - the techniques of how to do orchestration, workflows, and transactions, while keeping parts decoupled from one another.
