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

By Zahid Saleem on 5/17/2026

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.

By Valentina Maggio on 1/14/2026

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!
