Advanced Microservices Architecture, Deployment & Resilience

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you will dive deep into the intricacies of microservices architecture, focusing on advanced concepts like distributed transactions, resiliency, deployment, and event-driven systems. You'll learn how to manage complex microservices systems, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability. Through the practical application of patterns such as SAGA, Event-Driven Microservices, and the Transactional Outbox pattern, you'll gain hands-on experience with building and optimizing real-world microservices architectures. The journey starts by exploring the fundamentals of distributed transactions, including ACID principles, the SAGA pattern, and handling distributed data consistency. As you progress, you'll learn about event-driven architectures and their significance in microservices, including event hubs, event streaming, and high-volume processing techniques. You will also dive into microservices resilience, using patterns like Circuit Breaker, Bulkhead, and Retry to enhance fault tolerance, observability, and monitoring within microservices systems. This course is ideal for developers, architects, and IT professionals who want to master microservices architecture. It requires a solid understanding of basic microservices concepts and is designed for those with intermediate to advanced knowledge. You'll leave the course equipped to design, deploy, and maintain resilient and scalable microservices systems with confidence.
