.NET 8 Backend Bootcamp – Modulith, DDD & CQRS

Course Overview

Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Explore the complete architecture of modular monoliths through hands-on development in .NET 8. You'll master Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and scalable backend patterns, building a fully functional eShop from the ground up using modern development practices. Start with architectural principles, progress through catalog, basket, and ordering modules, and understand both synchronous and asynchronous communication with real-world tools like RabbitMQ and Redis. Each concept is backed by practical code implementations and project-based learning. Learn to containerize and orchestrate applications with Docker Compose, apply security with Keycloak, and ultimately migrate to microservices using strategies like the Strangler Fig pattern. The course is comprehensive and full of authentic development experience. This course is ideal for backend developers, architects, and software engineers aiming to build modular, scalable systems. A working knowledge of C#, ASP.NET Core, and basic DDD concepts is recommended. Intermediate level.
