Advanced Microservices & Distributed Systems

This module is now fully available. Use this page as your roadmap: what you will learn, how the study plan is structured, and where to find guided day-by-day deep dives.

Learning outcomes

  • Decompose monoliths into bounded contexts with clear service contracts.
  • Implement resilience patterns: timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads.
  • Manage distributed data consistency with saga and event-driven coordination.
  • Standardize governance with API contracts, versioning, and platform guardrails.

Study plan

Week 1Service boundaries, API design, sync vs async communication decisions.
Week 2Service discovery, API gateway, fault tolerance and traffic control.
Week 3Distributed transactions, saga orchestration/choreography, data ownership.
Week 4Observability, operational maturity, platform patterns, architecture reviews.
