Backend Architecture
Solid applications stand on steel feet. A deep understanding of architecture ensures resilient decisions.
A sudden unexpected user rush and worry rises: Will the systems hold up or will your backend collapse? That's exactly why the right backend architecture is so critical. Whether monolith or microservices, asynchronous processes or background jobs – the architecture determines how well your application handles new challenges. At DevCraft Academy, we show you how to build the backend that not only runs but also delivers on its promises.
Why Backend Architecture is So Important
The backend is the heart of every application. Whether data processing, user requests, or integrations with third-party systems – everything must function smoothly here. A well-thought-out architecture not only saves you nerves but also time and money. And with the right tools, you're well-equipped to react flexibly to changes, whether from higher user numbers or new features.
Mastering Architecture with DevCraft Academy
In our Academy, you learn everything you need for a scalable and performant backend architecture. From traditional monoliths to modern microservices – we cover all aspects so you're equipped for every challenge.
Focus Topics
Monoliths vs. Microservices
We show you the pros and cons of both approaches. Monoliths are easier to manage, while microservices offer maximum flexibility. When is the switch worthwhile, and how do you master the challenge?
Synchronicity vs. Asynchronicity
How do systems handle time-critical processes? We explain when synchronous calls make sense and when you should rely on asynchronous processes like queues and background jobs.
Queues and Background Processing
Some tasks need time, others must be done immediately. Learn how to outsource tasks and handle load spikes through background jobs and queues.
Caching
Speed is king. We show you how to minimize database access with caches and accelerate requests without endangering data consistency.
Cron Jobs and Scheduling
Automated tasks like data updates or reports are essential. Learn how to meaningfully integrate cron jobs into your architecture to automate routine tasks.
Datastores
Which database fits your project? Whether relational databases like PostgreSQL or NoSQL solutions like MongoDB – we show you when to choose which system.
Load Balancers
Distribute your application's traffic across multiple servers to increase performance and availability. We teach you how load balancers ensure your application doesn't buckle under high loads.
Bare Metal vs. Virtual Machines vs. Cloud
Physical servers, virtual machines, or straight to the cloud? We explain the differences and how to choose the right environment for your project – whether flexible and scalable or stable and secure.
Deployment Strategies
Rolling releases, blue-green deployment, or canary releases – we show you the best strategies to roll out new versions of your app without downtime.
