Services practised here
- Backend Architecture & APIsYour product ends up with a backend that survives growth: services with clear boundaries, documented APIs and a data model built for the queries that actually run.
- Platforms & Distributed SystemsWhen a product grows, the problem stops being a feature and becomes how the services talk to each other. That is where service boundaries, event delivery and flows that cannot be lost along the way come in.
- Cloud, DevOps & IaCInfrastructure ends up described as code and deployment automated, so shipping to production is routine and anyone on the team can do it.
