Introduction to Decoupled Applications

In this introductory course, you will learn the basics of decoupling applications, and the benefits of a decoupled architecture, like scaling up easily, and releasing features faster. You will also learn how to integrate decoupled components, and how to choose between various integration options like application programming interfaces (APIs), queues, topics, and more.

• Identify tightly coupled design risks
• Choose APIs, queues, topics patterns
• Define event driven integration flows
• Plan scaling and failure isolation

• Understand why decoupling improves delivery
• Select suitable integration approach
• Design a simple decoupled workflow

• Intro lessons with key concepts
• Pattern comparisons and examples
• Short checks or recap activities
• Certificate of completion
