Course Description
In this course, we’re going to learn how to Design Microservices Architecture with using Design Patterns, Principles and the Best Practices with Iterate Design Architecture from Monolithic to Microservices. We will using the right architecture design patterns and techniques.
By the end of the course, you will Learn how to handle millions of request with designing system for high availability, high scalability, low latency, and resilience to network failures on microservices distributed architectures.
This course is will be the journey of software architecture design with step by step evolving architecture from monolithic to event driven microservices.
We will start the basics of software architecture with designing e-commerce Monolithic architecture that handles low amount of requests.
After that step by step evolves the architecture with;
3-Tier Architecture
Modular Monolithic Architecture
Microservices
Event-Driven Microservices Architectures
and lastly Serverless Microservices Architectures with designing together that handle millions of requests. This is a step-by-step process for software system design and evolve from monolithic to microservices following the patterns & principles.
We will discuss microservices architectures with all aspects,
Microservices Decomposition
Microservices Communications (Sync / Async Message-Based Communication, API Gateways)
Microservices Data Management (Databases / Query / Commands)
Microservices Transaction Management
Microservices Distributed Caching
Microservices Deployments with Containers and Orchestrators
Microservices Resilience
with applying microservices design patterns and practices.
We are going to design with together and step by step with refactor architectures with all aspects of microservices pillars.
We will start with designing Monolithic Architecture. And you can see that we have Functional and Non-functional requirements that should cover our design and we have patterns and principles toolbox that we will learn and use these principles when evolving architectures.
Way of Learning — The Course Flow
We will always starts with the problem and try to solve this problem with learning and designing new architectures, patterns and best practices.
Problem -> Learn -> Design -> Code -> Evaluate
We will complete this circle for every section of the course. You will find that we will add new requirements in order to handle millions of request and learn new patterns and practices that will use these principles when evolving architectures.
That means you're not just passively receiving information. You're actively participating in the architectural decision-making process, seeing the direct impact of each pattern and principle through code. We'll emphasize the 'why' behind every decision, ensuring you build a deep understanding.
We will see full of patterns and principle toolbox is loading with new patterns and apply them into current designs. We will see latest patterns that we use more than 30 patterns and practices with implementing high scalability, high availability and handle millions of request requirements.
Let me write some microservices pattern which we covered in this course;
The Database-per-Service Pattern
API Gateway Pattern, Gateway Routing/Aggregation/Offloading Pattern
Backends for Frontends pattern BFF
Service Aggregator Pattern, Service Registry/Discovery Pattern
Fan-out Publish/Subscribe Messaging Pattern
Topic-Queue Chaining & Load Balancing Pattern
The Shared Database Anti-Pattern and Polyglot Persistence
Database Sharding Pattern, CAP Theorem
Materialized View Pattern
CQRS and Event Sourcing Patterns
SAGA Pattern — Choreography-based/Orchestration-based SAGA
Compensating Transaction Pattern
Transactional Outbox Pattern
Dual Write Problem
CDC — Change Data Capture with Outbox Pattern
Event Hubs and Real-time Event Streaming in Event-Driven Microservices Architecture
Cache-Aside Pattern for Microservices Distributed Caching
Sidecar Pattern
Service Mesh Pattern
DevOps and CI/CD Pipelines for Microservices Deployments
Deployment Strategies for Microservices: Blue-green, Rolling and Canary deployments
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and usage in Microservices Deployments
Microservices Resilience, Observability and Monitoring Patterns
Retry and Circuit Breaker Patterns
Bulkhead / Timeout / Cache / Fallback Patterns
Elastic Stack for Microservices Observability with Distributed Logging
Microservices Health Checks: Liveness, Readiness and Performance Checks
Serverless Microservices Architecture implementation on AWS
So the course flow will be the both theoretical and practical information;

The accent can be a little difficult to understand at the beginning, but you will get used to it as the course progresses. Other than that, the course is comprehensive and explains each principle and pattern clearly. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of these concepts.
By Rafał Kościński on 8/20/2026
The copurse is massive I would profer much longer course and have coidng along for better understangint. I llearned alot seriosly, but the lecturer is hard to understand sometimes. English is not so good so you have to listen very hard. Thiere are a lot of materials here so if you focus enough you should mostly understand what the teacher want's to say. Great intro to all of this concepts but again...sometimes is hard to understand what the teacher want's to say

I have been looking for a course which simple doesnot develops microservices but explains the core concepts and pave the way for developing one's own setup from the learning. Until now the course seems to be in the right direction; hoping for the same in upcoming lectures.
By Laura Marcela Londoño López on 5/3/2026
I really liked the course's approach using problem solving to learn about different architectures, their benefits and drawbacks. Amazing job.
By Ahmet Kürşat Kurtar on 3/7/2026
Congratulations on your hard work. It was an incredibly well-organized training program. I'm not exaggerating when I say that in terms of organization, content, and progression, it was a very meticulous and effective course program.
By Richárd Bellon on 1/21/2026
I wanted to refresh my knowledge about microservice architecture, the pros and cons, and the patterns used to work with it. I found the course thematic really appealing. It is a good overview, however, it stays on a very high level and does not go into much detail. I would have liked to see more real-world examples and case studies to better understand the practical applications of the concepts discussed. Overall, it's a good starting point for beginners but may not satisfy those looking for in-depth knowledge.
By Stephane Gobin on 1/19/2026
This is a high quality course, very clear and complete. I would have preferred examples in java for my personnal case, but at the end, i didnt need the demonstrations to understand. Thank you very much.

This course is exceptionally well-structured and highly insightful. It comprehensively covers all essential topics, extending to additional valuable content. The modules are presented in a clear and accessible manner, significantly aiding in developing a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
By Ashish Ranjan on 12/14/2025
Everything is great. I just expected a bit more detail on Helm charts and creating deployment configs. Apart from that all good.
By Siddharth Mohan on 11/18/2025
I was visiting Medium articles for Microservices Design Patterns when I came across this course. This course covers all the design patterns of microservices and the need for which they were introduced. I got the knowledge what I was looking for. Although it was not that indepth but I know hold an overview of all the patterns. In few places, I felt I need more insights into how a particular design pattern works on root level but I guess not everything can be covered in course. Still it was a good learning for me!
