Learning outcomes |
This curriculum unit has the following main objectives: introduction to the fundamental concepts and foundations necessary for understanding microservices-based architectures, introduction to the implementation concepts related to communication, development workflows, scaling, and deployment of microservices; finally introduction to the concepts and technologies underlying the development of user interfaces mainly powered by microservices.
In terms of skills, the main aim is to motivate the understanding of microservices-based architectures. In terms of competencies, the goal is to enable the student to: understand the fundamental concepts of microservices-based architectures and the differences between this architectural style and monolithic applications. Additionally, they should understand what is involved in the development, scaling, and deployment of a full-stack based on microservices.
