The content of DM519 Concurrent Programming and DM505 Database Design and Programming should be known
Course introduction
The course is an introduction to microservice programming, a paradigm in which software is built by composing distributed services that can be independently developed and deployed. Adopting microservices can offer benefits, among others, in terms of composability, resilience, and scalability of software projects. Application domains include therefore Web applications, system integration, mobile systems, and Business to Business (B2B) interactions.
The course will cover recent research and technologies for the programming of microservices, with an emphasis on the link between research and practice.
Expected learning outcome
After the course the students are expected to:
- Identify the key advantages and complexities of microservice architectures
- Illustrate and combine the patterns presented in the course for the design of microservice architectures
- Analyse and compare different approaches to the coordination of services
- Implement microservice systems using the techniques and technologies within the scope of the course
- Reason about the correctness of coordination strategies and their implementation
Content
Microservice architectures, service choreography and orchestration, actor and process languages, workflow languages, behavioural specifications of communication protocols, service monitoring, scalability of services, continuous delivery.

Teaching Method
At the faculty of science, teaching is organized after the three-phase model ie. intro, training and study phase.
This is an advanced course in which research and practice are combined.
This is an advanced course in which research and practice are combined.
Lectures will include live demonstrations and collaborative exercises in software development.
Part of the course is organised as a reading group. Each participant will independently study some material, either research or current practices, and give a presentation on a topic selected in accordance with the teacher. Participants can propose their own topics. The teacher will give lectures on how to prepare for this task.
