Course Description
Event Driven Architecture is one of the most popular Software Architecture styles these days.
Many new systems and organization adopt this new and exciting pattern, allowing for quick scaling and absolute flexibility in the system design.
That means that a lot of Software Architects are looking for resources about Event Driven Architecture, but up until now - there was not a single, comprehensive course that covered all aspects of Event Driven Architecture.
And this course does just that.
After taking this course, you'll know everything there is to know about Event Driven Architecture.
We start from the very basics - what are events, what is Event Driven Architecture, and what problems does it solve? - and go to the most advanced concepts such as Event Sourcing, CQRS, and lots more.
By the end of this course you'll become a real expert in Event Driven Architecture, and you'll be able to design advanced, robust events-based systems.
Here is a partial list of what we'll talk about in this course:
- Events definition
- Basics of Events Driven Architecture
- Events Sourcing and CQRS
- Streaming
- Logging and Monitoring
- Stateless vs Stateful events
- Events implementation
And so much more...
Now, I wanted to make this course as practical as possible, and for this reason - at the end of the course we're going to work on a real-world case study. In this case study we'll design, together, a system from the ground up using the concepts we've learned in this course, since I really believe theory alone is not enough. And that's not all: after designing the system - we're actually going to build it! Using engines such as RabbitMQ and SignalR we're going to build a full-blown, fully functional events-based system, which demonstrates the concepts of Event Driven Architecture and can be used as a template for your future projects.
This course takes you from the absolute basics of Event Driven Architecture to the most advanced topics, known only to few. Completing this course will give you all the knowledge required for designing events-based systems, and, as a bonus, will put you in a great position when looking for your next job.
No other course covers this topic in such a comprehensive and thorough way. I've put all my 20+ years of experience with hundreds of clients in this course, and I'm sure you will greatly benefit from it.

If you're not sure if this course is for you - drop me a note!
------------------------------------------------------------
What are the prerequisites for this course?
------------------------------------------------------------
It's a good idea to have some basic knowledge about software architecture, but it's not a must.
In any case, you don't have to have any prior knowledge of Event Driven Architecture!

Good course so far. Please add lecture for system design as well like volumentric calculations for number of users, throughput and some Azure AWS cloud based implemnattions for Even Driven Architecture.

Basics on Event-Driven Architecture. As a senior java developer, I recommand this course to start with even if there is no java inside. The notions are explained well.
By Frank Beer on 1/15/2025
Eine gute erste Einführung und ein Überblick für alle, die eine erste Entscheidungsgrundlage benötigen, ob EDA überhaupt in Frage kommt. Gut verständliche englische Sprache und einfache Beispiele. Etwas komplexere Problemstellungen werden nicht bzw. kaum betrachtet. Für die angesprochene Zielgruppe (EDA-Neulinge) wäre auch das Thema "Identifizierung von Events" und die Unterscheidung zwischen Eventtypen spannend. Mich hätten auch speziell Problematiken bei Verwendung von DDD und Microservices interessiert oder ein kurzer Überblick der Eventsourcing-DB's (z.b Kafka vs. Cassandra vs. ...). "...become an Expert" ist da etwas übertrieben. Aber ansonsten recht ordentlich.

I am not a software engineer but I was able to follow the course, the content was delivered in clear language, and I will understand how to collaborate with my engineers to build our first EDA use case.
By Edward De Jongh on 11/23/2023
Great course. I really appreciated seeing the pros and cons. No architecture is a silver bullet and Memi tells it like it is. A good example is Saga and CQRS, while they have their places, implementing them correctly is not straight forward.
By Adam Andersson on 9/28/2023
I think the theory part was layed out well, and led me to a good understanding of the main concepts. I would like more case study-related topics, and an easier workflow (e.g., Docker) to follow along with the case study.
By Anonymized User on 8/26/2023
Very clear and precise explanation of fundamantal EDA including patterns + usecases. Would be nice if there are some examples of production-grade design and coding session. Thank you for the great course!
By Nick Gautrey on 1/5/2023
Very useful and concise so far! It is clearly explained and it is exactly what I need right now! I would love some cloud-specific examples but I can find them in other courses/tutorials. Brilliant course.
By Joud Awad on 11/6/2022
Great Course goes into detail about event-driven architecture, after finishing this course I am now able to understand 95% of the EDA implementation. Memi explains everything in very easy way to understand !!

this is a third course i took from Memi and i was not specifically looking for his courses, it's simply that he provides best content from the areas i need, thank You.
