Architecture & system design
Learn Microservices — free and paid courses, roadmaps
Microservices are the most requested topic on CodeWithJay and the core of its paid courses. You build real microservice systems in Node.js and Go — service boundaries, communication over RPC, Kafka, RabbitMQ and SNS/SQS, serverless variants on AWS, and deployment with Docker and CI/CD — and learn when a monolith is still the better answer.
