Häufig gestellte Fragen

Software architecture refers to the high-level structure of a software system, encompassing its components, their interactions, and how they align with business goals. It's a crucial element because it determines the scalability, performance, and maintainability of software systems. Understanding architectural principles is essential for building robust systems that can evolve over time while meeting user and business needs.

This course covers foundational software architecture principles, focusing on monolithic systems. It explores the evolution of architectures from traditional monolithic designs to more modern approaches, such as microservices. The course provides practical experience in designing and coding applications using monolithic architectures, applying design principles like KISS, YAGNI, and DRY, and addressing real-world issues like performance and scalability.

Upon completing this course, you'll be able to design and develop monolithic applications with a focus on simplicity, modularity, and scalability. You'll also understand how to solve common issues in monolithic systems, such as performance bottlenecks and data persistence challenges. Additionally, you'll gain the skills necessary to decide when to use monolithic designs and how to evolve them as systems grow.

This course assumes a basic understanding of programming and software development principles. Familiarity with web development, databases, and fundamental coding practices will help, but no prior knowledge of specific architecture patterns is required. The course will guide you through the concepts and practical applications step by step.
