Advanced Architecture Mastery

Comprehensive guide to scalable architecture patterns used by leading technology companies. This advanced resource covers enterprise-level design patterns, microservices architecture, and distributed system principles used in high-traffic applications serving millions of users.

Core Architecture Patterns

• Microservices Architecture: Service decomposition, inter-service communication, and data consistency
• Event-Driven Architecture: Asynchronous messaging, event sourcing, and CQRS patterns
• Domain-Driven Design: Bounded contexts, aggregates, and strategic design principles
• Clean Architecture: Dependency inversion, hexagonal architecture, and separation of concerns
• Serverless Patterns: Function-as-a-Service architecture and event-driven computing

Scalability & Performance

• Horizontal Scaling: Load balancing, sharding, and distributed data strategies
• Caching Strategies: Multi-level caching, cache invalidation, and performance optimization
• Database Patterns: Polyglot persistence, read replicas, and database per service
• API Gateway Patterns: Service mesh, rate limiting, and circuit breaker implementations
• Performance Monitoring: Observability, distributed tracing, and metrics collection

Enterprise Integration

• Message Queues: Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, and asynchronous processing
• API Design: RESTful services, GraphQL, and API versioning strategies
• Data Pipeline Architecture: ETL processes, data lakes, and stream processing
• Security Patterns: OAuth 2.0, JWT tokens, and zero-trust architecture
• DevOps Integration: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated deployment
