Program Overview: What is API and Microservices Architecture?
API & Microservices Architecture is a 32-hour program for backend engineers, platform teams, and architects designing distributed systems on the cloud. Across eight modules, participants cover microservices design foundations, REST API design and contracts, API gateways, service communication and events, security controls, resilience, and observability. Each concept is taught against production-style architectures, so patterns transfer directly to real systems.
Training is hands-on: seven guided labs walk participants through designing service boundaries, drafting REST contracts, and configuring gateways for traffic control. Instructors coach small cohorts as they wire event-driven communication, harden services with security controls, and inject faults to test resilience. Live feedback sharpens design trade-offs at every stage, from contract versioning to cost-aware deployment. The program ends with a capstone in which each participant builds and secures a complete set of microservices.
Monoliths that once shipped fast turn brittle as teams and traffic grow, and APIs designed without contracts drift into integration debt. Weak gateways and chatty service calls create outages that are hard to diagnose. This program teaches engineers to design clean service boundaries, enforce contracts, and build resilience and security into every layer of a microservices architecture.
They deploy a secured microservices slice with a gateway, tokens, and resilience patterns. Architecture opinions formed in production beat opinions formed in meetings.
Poorly designed services slow every release and multiply security risk. This program focuses your team on the architecture patterns that keep microservices reliable: clean contracts, controlled traffic, zero-trust security, and graceful degradation under failure. Teams leave with reusable design patterns, hardened lab experience, and a clear standard for building APIs. The result is faster releases, fewer outages, and services your whole organization can trust.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team leaves able to design, secure, and operate microservices in daily work. Each skill below maps to guided labs in the program, so capability is demonstrated, not just described.
Design clean, versioned REST APIs
Model resources, apply versioning strategies, and write contracts that keep integrations stable as services evolve.
Split by domain boundaries
Split monoliths into bounded contexts with clear ownership, so teams can build and deploy independently.
Configure API gateways for control
Route traffic, enforce rate limits, and terminate authentication at the gateway edge for every service.
Secure services with OAuth2, JWT
Implement token flows, validate JWTs, and enforce zero-trust authentication between services in hands-on labs.
Build resilience into services
Apply circuit breakers, retries with backoff, and bulkheads so failures stay isolated and degrade gracefully.
Run event-driven integrations
Connect services with events and sagas, handling eventual consistency without distributed transactions.
Observe and cut costs
Trace requests across services, set SLOs, and right-size workloads to keep the platform efficient.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
API and microservices architecture comes after your team can build clean REST APIs. It shows how to split a system into services; Kubernetes then runs them, and a service mesh handles the traffic, security and observability between them.

Design Secure and Resilient APIs Across Meaningful Service Boundaries
Our API and microservices architecture training connects domain design with the practical behavior of distributed services. Teams develop contracts, route traffic, exchange events, secure endpoints, and investigate failures in a working service slice. Guided reviews keep architectural decisions connected to observability, deployment, and the operational trade-offs introduced by service separation.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine your service responsibilities, integration patterns, and failure concerns to identify where boundaries, API contracts, security, or operational visibility need development.
- Step 02
Plan
We move from domain boundaries and REST contracts through gateways, events, authorization, and resilience before instrumenting and deploying the capstone service slice.
- Step 03
Align
We bring backend, platform, and architecture perspectives together, calibrating HTTP and programming support to the cohort and the available service lab environment.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt service relationships, event flows, and access scenarios to a representative business domain so architectural trade-offs arise from concrete integration needs.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants implement gateway policies, validate tokens, connect services through events, and run fault-injection drills with feedback on traces and failure behavior.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the working service slice for coherent boundaries, contract quality, access controls, resilience under faults, and evidence that tracing supports diagnosis.
