What you'll learn:
- Design scalable, reliable and high-performance software systems using System Design principles
- Understand Microservices Architecture, DDD, CQRS, Event Sourcing, SAGA and design patterns
- Build cloud-native architectures using AWS services including EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS and VPC
- Understand communication patterns including REST, gRPC, GraphQL, Kafka and RabbitMQ
- Implement security concepts such as JWT, OAuth2, OIDC, RBAC and AWS IAM
- Learn scalability, availability, fault tolerance and disaster recovery strategies
Ready to move beyond coding and start thinking like a Software Architect?
This course takes you on a practical journey from Software Development → Software Architecture → System Design, helping you design scalable, reliable, and high-performance systems used in modern enterprise applications.
Whether you're a Developer, Senior Developer, Team Lead, or someone preparing for Software Architect roles, this course helps you build an architectural mindset and understand how real-world systems are designed.
This is not a theory-only course. You'll learn concepts with practical examples and hands-on AWS implementations.
