Description
The goal of the course is to outline key concepts, principles, and approaches used to design applications where high-performance, scalability, and resiliency are first-class quality attributes.
By the end of this course, candidates will have acquired in-depth knowledge about how to describe business requirements, how to design and implement high-performance, scalable, and resilient applications, and how to create a proper testing plan.
Key concepts covered in this course
- Different metrics are used to quantify performance, scalability, and resilience, such as response time, latency, resource utilization, percentiles, availability, etc.
- How to properly define business requirements about performance, scalability, and resilience, for a particular workload and under a specific working mode.
- Modern architectural styles that might be used while designing high-performance, scalable, and resilient applications, with their pros and cons (e.g. microservices, event-driven, reactive, serverless, etc.).
- Architectural tactics to achieve high-performance (e.g. caching, batching, lazy loading, throttling, optimistic locking, back pressure, etc.), scalability (e.g. data push, data pull, distributed and parallel processing, etc.), and resiliency (e.g. replication, redundancy, disaster recovery, circuit breaker, bulkheads, etc.)
- Advanced high-performance development techniques such as NUMA, large pages, Data-Oriented Design, C-states, RamFS/TmpFS, memory access patterns, etc.
- How to elaborate a test plan with a focus on stress, endurance, and load testing

Attendees’ Feedback
Excellent course content helping me to understand a lot of things, from a very high level and abstract to a very deep and technical perspective.
I recommend this course if you want to get in touch with real technical topics. The trainer clearly explained to them, even for less technical people.
The trainer was very well prepared. He answered all of our questions, even if they were not really the subject of the training.
I liked more the advanced part about how to tune an application, outside of the programming language, to get better performance.
Interesting and informative course, presented by a trainer who knows a lot of stuff. I got a lot of ideas and techniques that I can use to build more efficient applications in my daily job.
