Course: Platform Architecture AI edition
Mentor – Yozhef Hisem, Solution Architect at MacPaw, 10+ years of experience.
This course is about how to take back control of the system. You will understand why this chaos occurs and how to build a platform that does not slow down development, but accelerates it. Without overengineering and unnecessary complexity - only practical approaches that work in real teams and production. During the course, you will go from basic order in services to mature platform architecture.
Mentor - József Gisem, Solution Architect at MacPaw Inc.
A separate focus is on safe releases and observability. You will learn how to test changes directly in production, gradually enable new functionality and quickly disable problems without new deployments. You will also learn how to build monitoring and tracing in a way that really understands what is happening in the system, not just collecting logs.
- As a result, you will form a holistic vision of platform engineering as a system of practices:
- how to make services predictable,
- teams independent,
- and the system one that can be changed often, quickly, and without fear of breaking something.
Program
1. From chaos to system
- What breaks as the system grows
- Why is skin service “in its own way”? problem
- yak tse vipraviti:
- Single structure of services
- Basic standards (login, configuration, health checks)
- Single approach to CI/CD
- AI in this module:
- How to use AI to generate skeleton services
- How to describe the “correct service” so that AI does it for you
- How to start a new service using AI
- Example: creation of a new service through an inventory, not hands
2. Teams should not block each other
- Why should the commands be one at a time
- API-first approach
- Yak pratsyuvati in parallel
- AI in tsyomu modules:
- How AI helps generate API contracts
- How to check the implementation type of the contract
- How AI replaces many manual changes in APIs and integrations
- Example: described the contract - AI generated the basis and verified the appearance
3. How to change the system and not mess up production
- Backward compatibility
- Versioning (and why not decide again)
- Progress: available → migrable → deleted
- AI in this module:
- How AI can verify breaking changes
- stock: AI I notice that the change is hurting old clients
4. How to safely pick up and roll out changes
- Why “deploy” often insufficient
- How to test changes directly in production without risk
- How to implement new functionality is difficult for some backers
- How to quickly fix a problem without a new release
- Griklad: enabled the feature for 5% of clients and immediately jumped in
5. How to understand what is in the system
- Why are there no longer enough logs
- How can I ask for more information through a number of services
- What metrics are really important
- How to set up monitoring in a consistent and reasonable manner for all services
- Butt: apparently, the “galmuє” is washed down
6. How to stop being afraid of releases
- Why releases become painful due to system growth
- How to go to parts and small changes
- Why do you start to care about old things in git
- How to change conflicts and increase revulsion
- AI in this module:
- How AI helps in code review
- Butt: instead of one great release - a lot of little careless ones
