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.

Designed for business analysts, managers, team leaders, and process owners, this course provides the essential competencies needed to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools serve as an effective means of eliciting, analysing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements. Participants will gain hands-on experience creating use cases using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to visually represent interactions between actors and use cases.
