Software architecture courses can help you learn system design principles, architectural patterns, and scalability strategies. You can build skills in creating robust APIs, ensuring security in software systems, and integrating microservices effectively. Many courses introduce tools like UML for modeling, Docker for containerization, and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, that support deploying and managing applications in modern environments.
