A large application with a microservices architecture will be developed by the entire group. The group will be divided into teams, with each team implementing a microservice. Each team can decide for themselves which technologies to use for their microservice. The only requirement for the choice of technology is that there are interfaces or libraries available for the infrastructure used.

Learning outcomes

The students

  • know and understand concepts of microservice architectures in interaction with domain-driven design.
  • recognize the value of the event-oriented architecture paradigm.
  • create a microservice-based system together and use EDA.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
