Hey there! 👋

I wish you an excellent end to the week.

What better way to spend the weekend than diving headfirst into a 12+ hour course?

Well, maybe there are better ways, but let's pretend.

Yesterday, I launched Modular Monolith Architecture.

Here's the high-level course outline:

1) Modular Monoliths: Introduction

We'll start with the foundations. Building a modular monolith requires a deep understanding of monoliths and microservices. Modular monoliths take the best of both worlds.

2) Defining Module Boundaries

You will learn how to apply Domain-Driven Design and Event Storming to explore potential domain boundaries. This is where we'll introduce the sample application we will build.

3) Cross-Cutting Concerns

How do you apply cross-cutting concerns without coupling the modules? Here, you're going to learn how to isolate dependency injection, configuration, and more for each module.

4) Module Communication

We're going to explore the two ways how modules can communicate. This will determine how flexible your system will be for future changes.

5) Authentication & Authorization

We can't build a production-ready system without robust authentication and authorization. Here, we will introduce token-based authentication and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control).

6) Architecture Enforcement

What good is a shiny software architecture if we can easily break it? You'll learn 3 techniques you can apply to ensure your team sticks to the modular monolith architecture.

7) Reliable Messaging: Outbox and Inbox

What happens if we fail to publish a message? How do we apply temporal decoupling? How do we implement idempotency? You'll learn all of this and so much more.

I'm sure you'll be blown away by this chapter. Stay tuned!

8) Event-Driven Architecture

We're going to explain what it means to be event-driven. You will learn how the reactive programming paradigm can help you implement a robust, loosely coupled system.

9) Testing Modular Monoliths

How can you have complete confidence in your system? I'll show you a powerful approach for testing modular monoliths. It's almost like running our system in the real world.

10) Microservices: Extracting Modules

Finally, I'm going to present how to transition from a modular monolith to microservices. We will also introduce an API Gateway and distributed messaging system.

​

But that's not everything! 😁

I'm also including some cool and unique bonuses.

Bonus #1: Modular Monoliths: CQRS With MongoDB

If you're wondering how to introduce a document database to a modular monolith, this bonus course contains the answers.

Bonus #2: Modularize Your Monolith: A Quick Guide

To help you modularize an existing monolith application, I've bundled in a complete bonus course that walks you through the basics.

P.S. You can grab the launch week discount for a few more days.

Thanks, and stay awesome!
