Day 5: Case Studies, Best Practices, and Hands-on Workshop
Session 10: Case Studies and Best Practices (Duration: 4 hours)
- Real-world examples of successful Microservices implementations
- Best practices for designing, building, deploying, and operating Microservices
- Lessons learned and common pitfalls to avoid
Session 11: Hands-on Workshop (Duration: 8 hours)
- Guided hands-on exercises to reinforce concepts learned throughout the course
- Participants will have the opportunity to design, implement, deploy, and test Microservices using relevant tools and technologies
Conclusion and Q&A (Duration: 2 hours)
- Recap of key takeaways from the training course
- Open forum for questions, discussions, and clarifications
- Resources and further reading recommendations for continued learning
This training content provides a comprehensive deep dive into Microservices architecture, covering theoretical foundations, practical implementation aspects, and advanced topics over a 5-day period. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of Microservices principles, design considerations, development best practices, deployment strategies, and operational challenges through a combination of lectures, hands-on workshops, case studies, and discussions.
