Get a brief overview of the architectural components involved in designing scalable applications and systems.

Scalability & System Design for Developers

This module 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. It covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.
