Syllabus

Motivation for Cloud Native Apps

This module is designed to inspire and equip learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to embrace cloud-native development principles using the Go programming language. We will work with the fundamentals of cloud native apps, docker and Kubernetes in this module.

Decomposition with Microservices

In the second week of this course, delve into the intricacies of building scalable and maintainable applications through decomposition with microservices architecture, specifically implemented using the Go programming language.

Orchestration and Event-Driven Microservices

Orchestration within this module involves the efficient coordination and management of various microservices, enabling seamless deployment, scaling, and monitoring across distributed environments. Additionally, the module emphasizes event-driven architecture, where microservices communicate through asynchronous, decoupled events rather than synchronous requests.

Monitoring and Testing Microservices

The forth week of this course is tailored for Go developers wanting to master the essential techniques and tools required to effectively monitor, test, and ensure the reliability and performance of microservices built with the Go programming language. As microservices architectures become increasingly prevalent in modern software development, the need for robust monitoring and testing strategies becomes paramount.
