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

The application is divided into small, independently deployable services.


The application is divided into horizontal layers, each of which performs a specific function.

The application is a single, unified entity.

The application is divided into clients and servers, with the clients making requests to the servers.


Which is a characteristic of monolithic architecture?


Which is a characteristic of monolithic architecture?

Which is an advantage of microservices architecture?


Which is an advantage of microservices architecture?

Monolithic architecture involves dividing the application into small, independently deployable services, while microservices architecture involves a single, unified entity.

Monolithic architecture is more scalable and easier to maintain compared to microservices architecture.

Microservices architecture is more scalable and easier to maintain compared to monolithic architecture.

Monolithic architecture and microservices architecture are essentially the same thing.

What's the difference between monolithic architecture and microservices architecture?


What’s the difference between monolithic architecture and microservices architecture?

By allowing teams to work on different parts of the application in parallel

How can micro-frontends help in reducing the risk of conflicts?


How can micro-frontends help in reducing the risk of conflicts?

Microservices focus on breaking down the backend of an application, while micro-frontends focus on breaking down the frontend.

Microservices are tightly coupled, while micro-frontends are loosely coupled.

Microservices are deployed on a single server, while micro-frontends are deployed on multiple servers.

Microservices focus on improving scalability, while micro-frontends focus on improving security.
