Prerequisites and co-requisites
  • Enterprise Applications
    • REST
  • Object-Oriented Programming
  • Software Engineering Fundamentals

 

Course content
  • Basic Architecture Patterns
    • Hexagonal Architecture
    • Microservices
    • Event Driven Architecture
  • Decomposition
  • Business Logic
  • Interprocess Communication
  • Queries
  • Sagas
  • External APIs

  • Project Work

A large application with a microservices architecture will be developed by the entire group. The group will be divided into teams, with each team implementing a microservice. Each team can decide for themselves which technologies to use for their microservice. The only requirement for the choice of technology is that there are interfaces or libraries available for the infrastructure used.

Learning outcomes

The students

  • know and understand concepts of microservice architectures in interaction with domain-driven design.
  • recognize the value of the event-oriented architecture paradigm.
  • create a microservice-based system together and use EDA.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
  • Lectures
  • Group discussions
  • Project work with coaching

 

Assessment methods and criteria
  • Electronic examination in presence (50%)
  • Group work (50%)

For a positive grade, a minimum of 50% of the possible points must be achieved across all parts of the examination.
