Crafting intricate enterprise applications in a rapidly evolving landscape presents significant challenges.

Modifications to service or system integration often necessitate adjustments to the overall design. This course delves into designing scalable and adaptable architectures that align with your organization's size and objectives, along with practical infrastructure solutions.

The curriculum addresses typical issues encountered when developing distributed applications, from tackling integration challenges and modernizing infrastructure to managing complexity.

It also examines the advantages and disadvantages of various architectural approaches (such as traditional SOA versus microservices), alongside the tools (primarily open-source) that aid in development and upkeep.

Course Format

The format primarily involves discussions, with minimal presentations.

As distributed systems have become increasingly intricate, the complexity has shifted from individual systems to the overall architectural framework of interconnected systems. This course delves into the connection between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture, two domains that are closely intertwined but not often clearly defined in relation to each other. For instance, breaking down a complex monolithic system into two separate systems that communicate through web services will necessitate significant modifications to both the new systems and their interconnecting architecture.

The course will explore the trade-offs involved, as well as prevalent patterns and solutions for overseeing and facilitating communication within and among these sophisticated systems.

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training will delve into the advanced features of the software (such as MDA, profiles, XMI) along with best practices that can significantly streamline and expedite modeling processes.
