As distributed systems become increasingly complex, the challenge has shifted from the intricacies of a single application to the complexity inherent in the architecture of interconnected systems. This course explores the dynamic relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two domains are closely linked, yet this connection is often not fully articulated. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant changes to both the individual systems and the architectural interactions between them.

Throughout this course, we will examine the trade-offs involved, along with prevalent patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and the communication channels within and between them.
