The course provides an extensive guide to Microservice Architecture (MSA), explaining it as an implementation methodology for Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) where large applications are broken down into small, independent, loosely coupled service units. It details the advantages and disadvantages of MSA, such as its focus on single business tasks and its higher costs compared to monolithic applications, and contrasts it with SOA regarding dependency, size, and technology stack. Furthermore, the text explores different scaling methodologies (X-Axis, Y-Axis, and Z-Axis), outlines the blueprint and workflow principles for microservice development, and categorises various “as a Service” models (PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, DaaS, BaaS). Finally, it discusses several composition patterns (Aggregator, Proxy, Chained, Branch, and Shared Resource) and provides hands-on examples for building and decomposing both SOA and MSA applications.
Microservice Architecture Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
