In this 18-video course, learners can explore software architecture concepts, including the view model, consumer-driven contracts, architectural patterns, and architectural styles and solution patterns used to manage common machine learning issues. Begin by examining software architecture and the benefits it provides, and then the principles that should be followed when designing architecture for applications. You will discover the 4+1 view model and associated views, and learn to recognize software architectures, and the principles of developing enterprise architecture. Recall architectural principles for business, data, and technology, and the fundamental principles guiding service-oriented architecture (SOA) and use of the SOA maturity model. Next, explore serverless architecture; Backend-as-a-Service; the features of evolutionary architecture; and learn to recognize benefits of documenting architecture. Examine the structure of a software project team; the concept and characteristics of consumer-driven contracts; the dimensions of architecture that should be coupled to provide maximize benefit with minimal overheads and costs; and activities and tasks that software architects perform. Finally, take a look at architectural patterns and styles that can be adopted to eliminate common problems.
