Cloud-Native Development with Microservices, Serverless, and OpenShift

Modern software demands applications that are highly scalable, resilient, and quick to update. Moving away from rigid monolithic systems, cloud-native development leverages microservices and serverless architectures to deploy features rapidly and cost-effectively. This text-based course guides you through the foundational principles of modern application development. You will transition from understanding basic software architecture to designing, deploying, and managing modular applications using serverless functions and container orchestration tools. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of microservices architecture and how they differ from traditional monolithic systems - Explore serverless computing principles to run code on demand without managing underlying infrastructure - Learn containerization fundamentals and how to package applications for consistent deployment - Configure and deploy containerized microservices on the OpenShift platform - Apply modern API design patterns and service communication strategies for resilient systems - Understand basic CI/CD concepts to automate your cloud-native software delivery pipeline Starting with essential terminology and architectural theory, the course guides you step-by-step through practical written explanations and configuration examples. You will read detailed breakdowns of real-world scenarios, learning how to structure services, manage data, and scale resources efficiently. This course is designed for beginner developers, software engineers, and IT professionals new to cloud-native technologies, with no prior microservices or container experience required.
