Developing complex enterprise applications presents significant challenges in a rapidly evolving environment.

Modifications to the integration between services or systems necessitate corresponding changes in system design. This course provides guidance on designing maintainable service and system architectures that align with the size and purpose of your organization, along with practical infrastructure strategies.

The course addresses common issues encountered when building distributed application landscapes, ranging from integration challenges, infrastructure concerns, and modern approaches to resolving complexity.

It examines the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions (e.g., traditional SOA versus Microservices architecture) and highlights available tools (primarily open-source) that support development and maintenance.

Course Format

The course is primarily discussion-based, with limited presentations.

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.

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

The workshop covers problem analysis, design, and system documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training highlights the program's advanced capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) alongside best practices that can significantly streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

As the training concentrates on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling skills. For those wishing to learn modeling fundamentals, we offer dedicated UML training courses.
