Deep Dive: Microservices Architecture

Dive deeper into Microservices Architecture with AWS Solution Architect James Eastham

Microservices Architecture is one of the most popular software architectures. It is the de facto choice for any big company, and knowing how to create a system using it is crucial for any software developer who wants to work at a big company. However, it is a very complex topic with many nuances, edge cases, and caveats. In this course, AWS Solution Architect James Eastham will use the knowledge he gained building microservices for Amazon Web Services to teach you how to create an entire microservices architecture system. This course is both theory and code-heavy, with many diagrams and detailed explanations for every decision made. Join James on this journey and master Microservices Architecture today.
