Featured Harness AI as your architectural thinking partner to clarify requirements, explore design options, and stress-test assumptions, while ensuring humans drive intent and decisions. Start applying these strategies to your own projects today.
Featured An immersive hands-on workshop where you'll build the same application four different ways—monolith, n-tier, modular monolith, and microservices—to understand the trade-offs, patterns, and practical implications of each architectural style.
Featured Serverless works in demos. Production is another story. Learn how to design for retries, concurrency, cold starts, and failure so your serverless systems survive real traffic and real teams.
Featured Learn how to orchestrate teams of AI agents using GitHub Squad. See a live demo where autonomous agents collaborate to build a working application from zero.
An immersive full-day hands-on workshop exploring advanced serverless architectures across leading cloud platforms: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure.
Ready to advance your serverless architecture skills? Join this session, where you will master serverless design patterns and learn to architect like a boss!
Explore how Azure API Management, Azure Functions, and Azure Container Apps work together to create reliable, high-performing API architectures that withstand failures and scale dynamically.
Learn how the Azure Cosmos DB change feed listens to a container for any changes and outputs sorted lists of changed documents to build more robust applications.
A story‑driven exploration of serverless computing and API‑centric design that reveals how modern cloud architectures achieve agility, scalability, and efficiency.
A lightning talk on Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that shows how to make your architectural decision-making process transparent and traceable in just 10 minutes.
Discover how Azure Container Apps deliver enterprise-grade containerization with effortless operations, built-in sustainability, and real-world strategies that eliminate Kubernetes complexity and unlock long-term operational success.
Unlock the power of design patterns for maintainable, scalable, and robust software. Covers vital patterns with real-world examples, focusing on code maintainability, extensibility, and team collaboration.
