Software Architecture in Applications-01.png

This course offers a deep dive into the world of software architecture. It’s designed to equip software developers and architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to create, evaluate, and optimize software systems. The course covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.

You will start by exploring architectural concepts and the relationship between quality attributes, requirements, and architectural styles. You’ll also examine different architectural patterns and strategies, including centralized and decentralized architecture, layered pattern, broker pattern, and microservices. Then, you’ll go into the details of important quality attributes needed while developing an architecture.

The course is equipped with multiple case studies and two projects to further enhance learning. These real-world scenarios and hands-on projects are strategically incorporated to give learners practical insights.

Software Architecture in Applications

You've been asked to design a customer relationship management (CRM) system. This CRM system needs to provide a single view of customers using information stored in different data sources. Address information of all the customers (walk-in and online) is stored in one data source. Other information (e.g., name, phone number, etc.) about online and walk-in customers resides in two additional data sources—one for walk-in customers and one for online customers. 

Let’s review what we’ve learned so far through a case study.
