In this module, we will dive into the domain of e-commerce, exploring the foundational requirements for building a successful online selling platform. You will understand both functional and non-functional requirements that are crucial for designing scalable e-commerce systems. This section establishes a deeper understanding of the context in which software architecture decisions are made.

In this module, we will provide a comprehensive overview of monolithic architecture, covering its core principles and characteristics. You will explore its benefits, such as simplified development and testing, as well as the challenges it presents, including scalability limitations. This section includes practical applications of design principles and hands-on architecture design for an e-commerce app.

In this module, we will focus on layered architecture, learning how its structure promotes modularity and separation of concerns. You will explore SOLID design principles and apply these concepts to design and implement a scalable, maintainable e-commerce application. This section also includes a hands-on code review and evaluation of a layered architecture implementation.

In this module, we will introduce Clean Architecture and its principles, focusing on how it enables maintainable, testable, and flexible systems. You will learn about the Dependency Rule and apply Clean Architecture to design an e-commerce app. This section also explores the benefits and challenges of Clean Architecture and provides hands-on opportunities for you to review and refine your design.

In this module, we will explore scalability, focusing on both vertical and horizontal scaling strategies. You will learn how to design scalable architectures for applications, including the integration of load balancers to distribute traffic efficiently. This section will also assess the impact of scalability decisions on overall system performance.

In this module, we will explore modular monolithic architecture, focusing on how it combines the simplicity of monolithic systems with modularity to improve scalability and maintainability. You will assess its benefits and challenges, and apply the concepts to design a scalable e-commerce application. This section also provides practical demos and evaluations of modular monolithic architectures.

In this module, we will introduce microservices architecture, exploring its core characteristics and comparing it to monolithic systems. You will learn the benefits and challenges of adopting microservices and apply these principles to design an e-commerce application. This section includes practical design iterations and evaluations of microservices architectures.
