Software Architecture & Technology of Large-Scale Systems

This comprehensive course is designed specifically for aspiring software architects, senior developers, and system designers who want to master the transition from writing code to engineering large-scale, high-performance systems. Led by Anurag Yadav from NewTechWays, the curriculum takes a hands-on approach to modern software architecture, breaking down complex distributed systems into digestible architectural paradigms. Students will begin with a classic three-tier architecture and systematically evolve it into a robust, enterprise-grade system capable of handling millions of concurrent requests. Throughout the journey, the course explores critical technology stacks including Node.js, Redis, Apache Cassandra, Kafka, Hadoop, and Elasticsearch, providing deep insights into when and how to deploy each tool. Additionally, the course places a strong emphasis on non-functional requirements (NFRs) like high availability, fault tolerance, horizontal scalability, and rigorous security protocols. By diving into real-world deployment strategies using containerization with Docker and orchestration via Kubernetes, learners gain the practical skills needed to design, deploy, and maintain resilient modern architectures in production environments.
