Program Overview

What This Program Covers

Microservices and containers have become the standard architecture for modern software systems — but building them well requires mastering a specific set of patterns, tools, and operational practices. This program teaches engineers how to design, build, and operate microservices architectures using containers and modern orchestration.

What You'll Learn

  1. 1Design microservices boundaries using domain-driven design principles
  2. 2Build and optimize Docker containers for production workloads
  3. 3Deploy and operate services on Kubernetes
  4. 4Implement service mesh patterns for inter-service communication
  5. 5Apply resilience patterns to microservices architectures
  6. 6Design and implement API gateways and service discovery
  7. 7Monitor and observe distributed microservices systems
