This in-depth course will transform the way you build modern systems. You will learn the best practices for applying the Modular Monolith architecture in a real-world scenario. Join 1,050+ other students to accelerate your growth as a software architect.
START WATCHING"You shouldn't start a new project with microservices, even if you're sure your application will be big enough to make it worthwhile."
— Martin Fowler
WHAT'S INSIDE
We'll start with the foundations. Building a modular monolith requires a deep understanding of monoliths and microservices. Modular monoliths take the best of both worlds.
START WATCHINGYou will learn how to apply Domain-Driven Design and Event Storming to explore potential domain boundaries. This is where we'll introduce the sample application we will build.
START WATCHINGHow do you apply cross-cutting concerns without coupling the modules? Here, you're going to learn how to isolate dependency injection, configuration, and more for each module.
START WATCHINGWe're going to explore the two ways how modules can communicate. This will determine how flexible your system will be for future changes.
START WATCHINGWe can't build a production-ready system without robust authentication and authorization. Here, we will introduce token-based authentication and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control).
START WATCHINGWhat good is a shiny software architecture if we can easily break it? You'll learn 3 techniques you can apply to ensure your team sticks to the modular monolith architecture.
START WATCHINGWhat happens if we fail to publish a message? How do we apply temporal decoupling? How do we implement idempotency? You'll learn all of this and so much more.
START WATCHINGWe're going to explain what it means to be event-driven. You will learn how the reactive programming paradigm can help you implement a robust, loosely coupled system.
START WATCHINGHow can you have complete confidence in your system? I'll show you a powerful approach for testing modular monoliths. It's almost like running our system in the real world.
START WATCHINGFinally, I'm going to present how to transition from a modular monolith to microservices. We will also introduce an API Gateway and distributed messaging system.
START WATCHINGBuilding an application that runs smoothly on your machine is great. But deploying it to production? That's a different challenge. You'll learn how to use .NET Aspire to easily deploy your application to Azure.
START WATCHINGModular Monolith Architecture includes more than just theoretical discussion.
We're going to build a production-ready system from scratch. This includes dozens of API endpoints, 50+ use cases, and 6000+ lines of code.

WHO'S BEHIND THIS
I'm a Software Architect and Microsoft MVP for Developer Technologies with years of experience building large-scale systems.
I've helped thousands of people become better software engineers through my practical tips on social media, The .NET Weekly newsletter, and YouTube channel.
My goal is to teach you everything I learned while building and maintaining production-ready applications using Modular Monolith Architecture.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to build Modular Monoliths in the real world. We'll start from the fundamentals and work our way up to building a production-ready application. We'll also explore distributed systems and microservices.
That being said, this is not a course for beginners. Expect that you'll have to spend at least 12+ hours watching the video lessons.
You'll learn the best practices for developing enterprise systems using Modular Monolith architecture. This architectural style gives you the best of both monoliths and microservices.
This course covers all the fundamentals of designing a modular monolith system, but also explores many advanced topics like distributed messaging and microservices.
I recommend checking out the Curriculum to see all the lessons and what's covered.
The main course is 12 hours long. There are also two bonus courses, that introduce an additional 2 hours of content.
If you purchase the MMA + Community Access plan, you will gain access to the Community section and a bonus course called Modularize Your Monolith: A Quick Guide. If you don't want to go through the course alone, it's a great way to enhance your learning experience. The Community is where like-minded engineers like yourself can get together and collaborate. If you get stuck at any point, this is where you will find help. Of course, I'll also be there to answer any questions.
Absolutely, YES! You can access the course forever, including any future updates, with no extra payment.
