What Will Be Covered

Note:
Technology-oriented Software Design and Implementation are not covered. However, the participants are expected to be able to translate a platform architecture into software design and code. 

The course starts with a discussion of what Platform Engineering is and how it is different from engineering software systems. It then focusses on creating and/or evaluating frameworks to build a platform on which software applications can be built. Domain Analysis techniques to build reusable assets are then discussed.

The course also includes discussions on Platform thinking and Business Ecosystems. API design and best practices are discussed along with aspects of API monitoring, metering and event-driven models.

This course will cover:

  • Overview of Platform Engineering
  • Reusable Assets and Frameworks
  • API Design
