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 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 systems. We’ll also round things off by exploring AI-proofing through seamless LLM integration.

With a focus on real-world decision-making, this workshop guides you through optimizing service communication, token-based security, and implementing robust telemetry. Using a versatile sample application (available in JavaScript and C#), you’ll explore both monolithic and fully distributed setups that you can containerize and deploy immediately.

Key Learnings

• Pragmatic Microservices: Understand why microservices don't have to mean over-distributed, unmanageable systems.
• State & Data Patterns: Implement CQRS and Event Sourcing—powerful patterns that provide auditability and high-performance reads.
• Structural Integrity: Learn how unidirectional communication solves complex call-graph dependency issues in systems of any size.
• Modern Tooling: Deep dive into GraphQL, real-time updates, and integrating LLMs into your architectural flow.
• Hands-on Implementation: Move from theory to practice with containerized samples and functional code you can use today.
