Step into the future of software architecture with this dynamic, code-driven workshop designed for architects and developers ready to dive deep into the essential patterns and practices of modern distributed applications. From microservices and CQRS to Event Sourcing, GraphQL-driven data access, and real-time notifications, we’ll cover the critical components that power today’s scalable, resilient systems. AI-proofing with LLM integration rounds things off nicely. With a focus on decision-making in complex, real-world scenarios, this workshop guides you through optimizing service communication, token-based security, and implementing robust telemetry, metrics, and logging. A versatile sample application demonstrates both monolithic and fully distributed setups, flexible enough to support multiple languages, including JavaScript and C#. Come ready to explore containerized samples, get hands-on with the code, and walk away with a fully functional, flexible architecture that you can start using immediately!
