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

# Overview

**Event-driven architecture (EDA)** is a software design paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by externally produced events or messages. In an event-driven system, components communicate by sending and receiving events rather than calling each other's functions or methods directly.

# Characteristics

Here are some key characteristics of event-driven architecture:

+ **Decoupling:** Event-driven architecture promotes loose coupling between components because they don't need to know about each other's internal implementation details. This makes the system more flexible and easier to modify and maintain.

+ **Asynchrony:** Event-driven systems are typically asynchronous, meaning that events can be triggered at any time and might not be processed immediately. This allows the system to scale more easily and handle high volumes of events.

+ **Scalability:** Because event-driven systems are decoupled and asynchronous, they can be scaled horizontally by adding more nodes to the system. This makes them well-suited to handle large volumes of events and process them in real time.
