Delve into software architecture, exploring key principles, patterns, and quality attributes. Gain insights with case studies and projects, enhancing your practical skills in system design and optimization.

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

What type of data is stored in cache memory?

What type of data is stored in cache memory?

A caching strategy that requires manual synchronization between the cache and the database

A caching strategy where data is loaded into the cache without user requests

A caching strategy that automates synchronization between the cache and the database

A caching strategy that relies on explicit programming logic for cache updates

What best describes a read-through cache?


What best describes a read-through cache?

Write-through cache writes data to the cache and the underlying storage simultaneously.

Write-back cache writes data to the cache first and then to the underlying storage at a later time.

Write-through cache has faster write operations compared to write-back cache.

Write-back cache guarantees immediate data consistency with the underlying storage.

Which statement best describes a difference between write-through and write-back cache?

Which statement best describes a difference between write-through and write-back cache?
