This course is built for experienced software developers and technical leads who want to design systems that scale under pressure, stay modular, and remain secure at every layer. You’ll learn how to balance performance, resilience, and clean architecture while applying real-world problem-solving strategies. It’s hands-on, pattern-driven, and packed with practical takeaways—from layered security to fault isolation and scalability under load.
Day 1: Building for Scale – Principles and Patterns
Session 1: Designing for Scalability from Day One
Horizontal vs vertical scaling, state management, fault tolerance
Monoliths, microservices, and hybrid patterns
Session 2: Software Design Patterns for Modularity
Clean architecture, hexagonal design, and service orchestration
Applying adapter, observer, and strategy patterns in code
Day 2: Secure Architecture Design
Session 1: Layered Security and Zero Trust Principles
Application, infrastructure, and API-level security
Data flow modeling, role-based access, and encryption
Session 2: Threat Modeling and Defensive Design
OWASP Top 10 and how they affect architecture
Secure defaults, audit trails, and input validation
Day 3: Practical Problem Solving in Architecture
Session 1: Designing for Real Constraints
Solving problems under latency, cost, and traffic pressure
Load balancing, rate limiting, and failover design
Session 2: Refactoring and Decision-Making in Complex Systems
When to refactor, rewrite, or re-architect
Communicating trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
Day 4: Final System Design Challenge
Session 1: End-to-End Architecture Case Study
Group project: design a scalable and secure system from scratch
Define layers, responsibilities, failure points, and protections
Session 2: Present, Review, and Final Feedback
Team presentations with feedback on scalability and security
Lessons learned and personal next steps
