Prerequisites
Knowledge about object-oriented programming in Java is required for the creation of microservices. No prior knowledge about SOA or microservices is required.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
The objectives of the course are to give the students a set of skills necessary to understand and work in the context of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), namely:
- understand the differences between several architectural styles: monolith, SOA, microservices;
- give an understanding of the several definitions of SOA (as an architectural style, as an IT paradigm, ...);
- review approaches for Service Oriented Analysis and Design and how they differ from Object Oriented analysis and Design;
- usage of Domain Driven Design (DDD) for designing services in a microservice architecture;
- review major standards in the area: from the old WSDL-*, to REpresentational State Transfer (REST) concepts;
- present concepts such as orchestration, choreography, atomic transactions, message exchange patterns;
- review major microservice and SOA patterns in terms of security, reliability, maintainability of the implemented solutions;
- discuss the major patterns for the migration from monolithic systems to microservices;
- practice with the creation of microservices using the Quarkus framework to better understand the concepts seen during the lectures;
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students will be able to:
- explain the meaning of the "Service Oriented" paradigm both from the business and technical point of view;
- understand the applicability of SOA design patterns and the meaning of the major SOA implementation technologies;
- compare SOA with other architectural paradigms;
- analyse requirements towards the creation of a microservices-based system;
- design a service starting from the analysis phase by using Domain Driven Design (DDD);
- understand the problematics in service design and analysis;
- understand the problematics in service implementation;
- understand issues related to reliability and scalability of microservices-based system;

Teaching methods
Please note that Autumn 2024 lectures will be given *remotely* in the form of video recordings. During the semester, students will be expected to submit their solution to several exercises related to the implementation of microservices in Quarkus. The final colloquium will be based on a discussion of the content of the course and the discussion of the exercises submitted.
Assessment methods
Final oral colloquium on the topics of the course. During the semester, students will need to submit some assignments based on the Quarkus framework covering the different aspects seen during the course.
