This course explores various use-cases for synchronous vs. asynchronous microservice architectures, their advantages and disadvantages, scalability, availability, and observability differences. It covers patterns like CQRS, Event Sourcing, and Data Busses, and provides insights on how to identify when to migrate from one architecture to another. The course teaches about asynchronous message patterns, messaging technologies, delivery guarantees, error handling, and how to gradually evolve towards an asynchronous model. The intended audience for this course includes software developers, architects, and engineers working with microservices and interested in understanding and implementing asynchronous distributed systems.
