Design / Architecture Pattern and Microservices

complete cohort information the career ceiling you've hit you've been coding for 5 8 years you can implement any feature thrown at you you understand linq, async/await, dependency injection you ship working code consistently but here's your problem you keep getting rejected for architect roles the interviewer asks "how would you design a system that handles 10 million transactions per day?" and you freeze or they ask "explain your approach to bounded contexts in a microservices architecture" and you realize you've only worked in monoliths meanwhile, your peer who joined the company same time as you just got promoted to solution architect at ₹38 lakhs what does he know that you don't? he thinks in architecture, not just implementation he doesn't just write code—he designs systems he doesn't just fix bugs—he prevents entire categories of problems through proper design he speaks the language of ctos bounded contexts, cqrs, event sourcing, domain driven design this cohort teaches you to think like an architect, not just code like a developer the brutal truth about the developer to architect transition most developers hit a career ceiling around ₹15 22 lakhs because they master coding but never learn architecture you can't code your way into an architect role architecture isn't about knowing more frameworks or languages it's about thinking at a different level of abstraction developers think "how do i implement this feature?" architects think "how do i design a system where this category of features is easy to implement?" developers think "this code works " architects think "this code is maintainable, testable, and can evolve without breaking everything " developers think "i'll just add this code here " architects think "does this belong in the domain layer, application layer, or infrastructure layer?" this cognitive leap from implementation to architecture is what this cohort teaches who this cohort is built for you should join if you're the stuck senior developer 5 8 years of net experience currently earning ₹15 22 lakhs consistently delivering features but not getting promoted interviewing for architect roles but getting rejected told you need "more system design experience" but not sure how to get it the feature factory developer you've only worked in monoliths or legacy systems you've never designed a system from scratch, only added features to existing ones you implement what's asked but don't question the architecture you want to move from "order taker" to "technical decision maker" the career switcher moving from testing/support/other roles into development want to skip the 5 year grind and accelerate to architect level thinking willing to invest intensive effort to compress the learning curve the interview failing developer you know design patterns by name (singleton, factory, etc ) but freeze when asked to apply them in system design you've read about microservices but never built one you can't explain solid principles in practical terms during interviews you need to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application this is not for you if ❌ you have less than 2 years of coding experience (you need fundamentals first) ❌ you're happy in your current developer role with no architect ambitions ❌ you want quick tips and shortcuts (architecture requires deep understanding) ❌ you can't commit to intensive 8+ week learning with live projects ❌ you're looking for framework specific training (react, angular) rather than architecture thinking what makes this cohort different the ddd first approach most design pattern courses teach patterns in isolation traditional approach "here's singleton here's factory here's adapter good luck figuring out when to use them " result you memorize definitions but can't apply them in real projects this cohort's approach "here's a real business problem here's how to model the domain now here's why you need these specific patterns to solve it " result you understand patterns through the lens of actual system design this cohort teaches domain driven design (ddd) as the organizing framework , then shows you how design patterns, architectural patterns, and microservices fit into solving real business problems you learn to think in systems, not just patterns complete curriculum breakdown module 1 the guru mantra of architects (week 1) before you learn any pattern, you need to understand how architects think you'll learn how humans understand complex systems (classification, abstraction, decomposition) the philosophy of decoupling (why loosely coupled systems survive, tightly coupled systems collapse) definition of good architecture not about using fancy patterns—it's about isolating what changes from what stays stable the outcome you'll understand the "why" behind every architectural decision you won't just apply patterns blindly—you'll know when and why to use them module 2 oop, solid, di, ioc the architect's view (week 1 2) you've used solid principles but do you understand them from an architect's perspective? you'll learn classification and abstraction (how architects decompose complex domains) connection between abstraction and decoupling (why interfaces enable evolution) abstraction shows way to encapsulation (planning vs execution) classification and polymorphism = decoupled systems (the deep connection) interface vs abstract classes (when to use which, and why) solid principles the architect way single responsibility not about "one method does one thing"—it's about isolating reasons for change open/closed not about never modifying code—it's about extending behavior without breaking existing code liskov substitution not about inheritance—it's about behavioral compatibility interface segregation not about small interfaces—it's about client specific abstractions dependency inversion not about "always use interfaces"—it's about depending on abstractions that isolate change aggregation, composition, association (the three ways objects relate, and their architectural implications) ioc, di, and simple factory (understanding inversion of control deeply) design patterns vs architecture patterns vs architecture style (the taxonomy that clarifies everything) the outcome you'll speak solid fluently in interviews when asked "give an example of open/closed principle," you won't just recite a definition—you'll explain a real system you designed module 3 design pattern fundamentals (week 2) now that you understand the architect's mental model, you're ready for patterns you'll learn what is a design pattern? (not just a code template—it's a solution to a recurring design problem) who is gof (gang of four)? (the origin story and why it matters) creational, structural, behavioral (the three categories and what each solves) gof vs non gof patterns (classic patterns vs modern patterns like repository, unit of work) individual learning vs ddd way of learning (why context matters more than memorization) the outcome you'll have the mental framework to evaluate any pattern "what problem does this solve? what's the tradeoff?" module 4 essential design patterns in depth (week 2 3) you'll master the patterns that show up in every architect interview singleton pattern not just "static class with private constructor" singleton vs static classes (when to use which) thread safety in singleton (the 5 ways to implement it) double checked locking (why it exists, when it breaks) lazy\<t> keyword (the c# way to do it right) factory pattern simple factory vs factory method vs abstract factory (the confusion ends here) when to use factories (not "always"—specific scenarios) how factories enable dependency inversion repository and unit of work why repository? (it's not about "abstracting ef"—it's about domain centric data access) generic repository (why it's controversial, when it's appropriate) ef/orm vs repository (understanding the tradeoffs) mock testing and unit testing with repository (practical code examples) structural patterns adapter (making incompatible interfaces compatible) bridge (decoupling abstraction from implementation—composition over inheritance) composite (tree structures, recursive algorithms) decorator (adding behavior without modifying classes) facade (simplifying complex subsystems) behavioral patterns template pattern (defining algorithm structure, letting subclasses fill in steps) strategy pattern (selecting algorithms at runtime) memento (capturing state for undo/redo) flyweight (memory optimization through shared state) the outcome you'll have code examples for every pattern in interviews, when asked "explain decorator pattern," you'll open your laptop and show actual working code module 5 strategic ddd thinking in domains (week 3 4) this is where junior developers become architects strategic ddd teaches you how to decompose business problems into well designed systems you'll learn microservices fundamentals microservice definition with real example (not buzzwords—actual tradeoffs) monolith the other side of the coin (when monoliths are better than microservices) benefits of microservices team autonomy (conway's law in action) independent development and deployment technology diversity (when it helps vs when it hurts) understanding domain what is a domain? (not "database tables"—it's the business problem space) domain driven design (ddd) (eric evans' philosophy applied to net) domain vs classes/objects (the cognitive shift from data modeling to domain modeling) strategic ddd vs tactical ddd strategic ddd how to break down business domains (planning phase) tactical ddd how to implement those domains in code (execution phase) domain classification subdomains breaking the business problem into manageable pieces core domain the part that gives you competitive advantage (invest here) supporting domain important but not differentiating (build well, don't over engineer) generic domain commodity functionality (buy, don't build) why classification matters resource allocation, team structure, technology choices bounded context the logical boundary what is a bounded context? (not a microservice—it's a linguistic boundary) why bounded contexts prevent the "god object" problem examples a "customer" in sales context vs "customer" in support context vs "customer" in billing context context maps bridging bounded contexts what is a context map? (the blueprint of how contexts interact) upstream vs downstream (power dynamics between teams/services) the 9 context map patterns partnership two teams collaborating on equal footing shared kernel shared code (use carefully—it couples teams) customer supplier downstream depends on upstream conformist downstream accepts upstream's model completely anticorruption layer downstream translates upstream's model open host service upstream provides a published api published language shared, well documented integration format separate ways no integration (teams are independent) big ball of mud poorly defined boundaries (what you're trying to avoid) context map patterns are guidelines, not rules (practical application, not dogma) common context map confusions (clarifying the most misunderstood parts) the outcome you'll be able to look at any business and sketch out bounded contexts, identify core vs supporting domains, and design context maps this is the skill that gets you architect roles module 6 tactical ddd implementation in c# (week 4 5) strategic ddd told you what to build tactical ddd tells you how to build it you'll learn the three core building blocks entities objects with identity (a customer is the same customer even if their address changes) value objects objects without identity (two addresses with same street/city/zip are identical) service objects operations that don't belong to entities or value objects implementing entities in c# the right way ids and guids in an entity (when to use sequential ids vs guids) reference equality "let the objects behave as they speak" (implementing equals properly) the love triangle equals, ==, gethashcode (how they interact, common mistakes) implementing value objects in c# the right way why value objects? (not just "utility classes"—they encode business rules) value objects and immutability (preventing side effects) value objects with init keyword (c# 9+ features for immutability) value objects with record and structs (when to use which) records and entity framework (the integration challenges) why struct is problematic (ef issues, pass by value semantics) immutability = get + constructor (the practical pattern) hash collision handling (using hashcode combine) aggregate roots what is an aggregate root? (the consistency boundary in your domain) maintaining integrity (invariants that must always be true) transactional scopes (one transaction = one aggregate) iterator pattern in aggregate root (controlled access to children) service objects application service (coordinates use cases, doesn't contain business logic) domain service (business logic that doesn't belong to an entity) infrastructure service (technical concerns like email, file storage) anemic vs rich domain model anemic model entities are just data containers, logic is in services (typical crud apps) rich model entities contain behavior (ddd approach) when each is appropriate (not all apps need rich models) factory in ddd ddd factory vs gof factory (similar name, different purposes) when to use factories in domain models (complex object creation with invariants) the outcome you'll write domain driven c# code that's maintainable, testable, and speaks the business language your entities will enforce business rules, not just hold data module 7 cqrs command query responsibility segregation (week 5 6) cqrs is the pattern that scales complex systems it's also the pattern that confuses most developers you'll learn cqrs fundamentals what is cqrs? (separating reads from writes at the model level) why do we need it? (not for every system—specific scenarios where it shines) marker interface pattern (the technical building block) the three pillars of cqrs commands represent intent to change state ("registeruser", "placeorder") queries retrieve data without side effects ("getuserbyid", "getorderhistory") handlers process commands and queries more than avoiding duplication—it's about separation of concerns mediatr the unambitious postman what is mediatr? (in process messaging for decoupling) how mediatr implements cqrs (commands and queries as messages) handler pipeline (validation, logging, transaction management) cqrs with automapper translating between layers (domain → dto → view model) when automapper helps vs when it hurts events and aggregates domain events (things that happened that other parts of the system care about) raising events from aggregates (when state changes occur) event handlers (reacting to domain events) properties vs constructors enforcing invariants through constructors (making invalid states unrepresentable) when property setters are appropriate event sourcing what is event sourcing? (storing events instead of current state) projection and materialized views (rebuilding state from events) the nirvana query optimized views that are rebuilt from authoritative event log the outcome you'll understand when cqrs adds value (complex domains, different read/write patterns) vs when it's overengineering (simple crud apps) in architect interviews, you'll explain cqrs tradeoffs confidently module 8 event sourcing deep dive (week 6) event sourcing is the most powerful—and most misunderstood—pattern in ddd you'll learn what is event sourcing? (append only log of all changes, not just current state) when do you need it? (audit requirements, complex temporal queries, debugging production issues) when is it overkill? (simple apps where current state is sufficient) traditional store vs event store (relational db vs event log—the tradeoffs) importance of version numbers (evolving events over time without breaking replay) event and eventsourcedb (designing an event store) json serialization (storing events as json for flexibility) coding the event source db (practical implementation in c#) db agnostic approach (works with sql server, postgresql, specialized event stores) the outcome you'll be able to implement event sourcing for scenarios where it's genuinely valuable you'll also know when not to use it (and explain why in interviews) module 9 persisting ddd with entity framework (week 6 7) the practical reality you're using entity framework how do you map clean domain models to ef without compromising either? you'll learn ignoring properties in events (preventing ef from tracking event properties) value objects mapping with owned entities (ef core feature for value objects) handling multiple db contexts oltp context (current state entities) audit context (historical state event sourcing) constructor based property passing (enforcing immutability) should you have a super aggregate root? (base classes vs composition) explicit methods for update and remove (better than exposing setters) soft deletes (marking as deleted vs physical deletion) child soft deletes (cascading soft delete through aggregates) event sourcing + commands should be 1 to many (one command can raise multiple events) 1 to many relationships exaggerate command complexity (when to simplify) automapper in ddd (it doesn't fit well with aggregate roots—here's why) aggregate root purity vs ef mapping requirements (the eternal tension) moving events before repository (good or bad? tradeoffs explained) command complexity for deep aggregates (1 to many relationships make this worse) the 4 steps of ddd command (intent) mediator (routing) command handler (business logic) repository + event source (persistence + audit) events for business rules and validations (using domain events to enforce consistency) ef asnotracking for queries (performance optimization in cqrs read side) the outcome you'll write clean ddd code that works with entity framework without compromising domain purity you'll know the tradeoffs and make informed decisions module 10 important uml diagrams (week 7) architects communicate through diagrams, not just code you'll learn class diagrams (showing relationships between domain objects) sequence diagrams (showing interactions over time) use case diagrams (showing system behavior from user perspective) the outcome in design discussions and interviews, you'll be able to sketch out your architecture clearly this is a non negotiable architect skill module 11 microservices infrastructure patterns (week 7 8) you've learned how to design microservices now learn how to make them production ready message queues and asynchronous communication communication in microservices rest apis vs message brokers (when to use which) amqp (advanced message queuing protocol) (the standard behind rabbitmq, azure service bus) rabbitmq installation and c# integration rabbitmq architecture brokers exchanges (direct, topic, fanout) bindings queues pattern matching for routing message patterns fire and forget, request reply, publish subscribe resiliency patterns what is resiliency? (designing systems that survive failures gracefully) retry pattern (transient failures) circuit breaker pattern (failing fast when downstream is down) states closed, open, half open exponential backoff (not hammering failed services) timeout pattern (not waiting forever) polly library for c# (implementing all resilience patterns) short lived failures (retry) vs long lived failures (circuit breaker) api gateway pattern why api gateway? (single entry point, cross cutting concerns) ocelot demo upstream and downstream routing rate limiting (protecting backend services) authentication at gateway (centralizing security) service discovery and health monitoring consul (service registration and discovery) health checks (knowing when services are degraded) distributed monitoring (tracing requests across services) authentication and authorization in microservices api gateway approach vs individual service approach (centralized vs decentralized auth) openid vs oauth vs openid connect (understanding the standards) token based authentication (jwt implementation) code flow authorization code → token exchange configuring auth server and clients transactions in microservices why traditional transactions don't work (no distributed acid in microservices) saga pattern choreography (services coordinate themselves) orchestration (central coordinator) compensating transactions (undoing work when sagas fail) consistency models strong consistency (everyone sees the same data instantly) causal consistency (related changes in correct order) eventual consistency (everyone sees same data, eventually) transactional outbox pattern (ensuring messages and database changes are atomic) microfrontends why microfrontends? (independent frontend teams, matching backend service boundaries) integration approaches (module federation, iframes, web components) the outcome you'll design microservices that are production ready resilient, observable, secure, and transactionally consistent this is what separates toy microservices from real systems module 12 architecture styles clearing the confusion (week 8) the industry uses these terms interchangeably and confusingly you'll learn the actual differences you'll learn what is an architecture style? (vs pattern vs principle) onion architecture (domain centric, dependency flowing inward) clean architecture (use case centric, screaming architecture) hexagonal architecture (ports and adapters, isolating business logic from infrastructure) when to use which (they're not that different—understanding the core principles matters more than the name) the outcome you won't be confused when someone says "we use clean architecture " you'll know it's just onion architecture with use cases emphasized you'll focus on principles, not buzzwords your instructor shivprasad koirala this cohort is taught by shivprasad koirala , who has spent 17 years helping developers become architects his credentials asp net mvp for 6 consecutive years (awarded to only top global contributors) trained 3000+

requirements implement ddd (strategic + tactical) add cqrs and event sourcing where appropriate integrate message queues and resilience patterns deploy to production like environment complete with api gateway, authentication, monitoring your portfolio proof working microservices architecture that demonstrates every pattern you've learned the career transformation what this means for your income let's be direct about the money, because that's why you're here current state (typical for students in this cohort) 5 8 years of net experience solid developer, consistently shipping features earning ₹15 22 lakhs per annum interviewing for architect/senior roles but getting rejected told you "lack system design experience" or "need more architectural exposure" after this cohort you can design microservices architectures from business requirements you speak the language of architects bounded contexts, aggregates, cqrs, event sourcing you have portfolio projects demonstrating complete system design you confidently answer system design interview questions you qualify for roles previously out of reach solution architect technical architect principal engineer engineering manager (technical track) realistic salary range after transition ₹28 45 lakhs (60 100% increase) the math cohort investment ₹25,000 45,000 (one time) expected salary increase ₹10 23 lakhs per year roi timeline 1 2 months of your first year in the new role this isn't speculation questpond alumni have moved from ₹18l developer to ₹32l architect from service companies to product companies from ic roles to technical leadership roles from "stuck at senior developer for 3 years" to "architect within 6 months" what success requires the honest truth this cohort will transform your career if you ✅ have 2+ years of solid c# experience (comfortable with oop, linq, async/await) ✅ can commit 12 15 hours per week for 8 weeks (live sessions + practice + projects) ✅ actually build the projects (watching ≠ learning; building = learning) ✅ are willing to think differently (architecture requires unlearning some developer habits) ✅ engage in discussions (architecture is learned through debate and design reviews) ✅ apply concepts at work (use ddd thinking in your current projects, even if they're not microservices) this cohort will not work if you ❌ expect passive learning (you can't become an architect by watching videos) ❌ can't commit to scheduled live sessions (that's where breakthroughs happen) ❌ want quick tips without deep understanding ❌ aren't willing to challenge your current approach to software design ❌ expect instant results without intensive effort hard truth the cohort provides world class instruction, structure, community, and accountability but it doesn't do the thinking for you architecture is learned through practice, iteration, and feedback what happens after you enroll week 0 (immediately after enrollment) welcome email with cohort schedule community access (introduce yourself, meet peers) pre cohort materials (optional but recommended) environment setup guide (tools, frameworks, sample projects) week 1 2 foundations architect's mental model

career support and mentorship frequently asked questions "i've only been coding for 2 3 years is this too advanced for me?" if you're solid on c# fundamentals (oop, linq, async/await), you can handle this cohort but be honest with yourself are you comfortable reading and writing c# code without constant stack overflow lookups? if yes, you're ready if no, spend 6 months mastering fundamentals first the course doesn't assume you know design patterns—it teaches them but it does assume you're a practicing developer who can focus on architecture without struggling with basic syntax "i work in a monolith will this course still help me?" yes—maybe even more so ddd and design patterns apply to monoliths too in fact, a well designed modular monolith uses the same patterns as microservices (bounded contexts, cqrs, event sourcing) the deployment is different, but the design thinking is identical you'll learn to structure your monolith using bounded contexts (modular monolith) apply ddd tactical patterns to your current codebase prepare your architecture for future microservices extraction if needed "how is this different from reading the ddd book or watching youtube videos?" eric evans' ddd book is brilliant but dense most developers struggle to apply it to real c# projects youtube videos are fragmented you get bits and pieces but not a coherent system this cohort gives you ddd explained through c# and net ecosystem (not java examples you have to translate) live problem solving when you're stuck on implementation peer learning (seeing how others approach the same design problems) structured progression (fundamentals → patterns → ddd → microservices) real feedback on your architecture decisions "will this help me pass architect interviews?" yes—that's literally the goal this cohort was designed around the questions asked in architect interviews at companies like microsoft, amazon, product startups, and large enterprises you'll practice system design questions ("design a distributed order processing system") pattern application ("when would you use saga vs two phase commit?") tradeoff discussions ("cqrs benefits vs complexity—when is it worth it?") architecture decisions ("how do you handle transactions across microservices?") "do i need microservices experience to join?" no this cohort teaches microservices from fundamentals you'll learn what problems microservices solve (and when monoliths are better) how to decompose monoliths into microservices using bounded contexts microservices infrastructure patterns production ready implementation with all the cross cutting concerns you'll go from "i've heard of microservices" to "i can design and defend a microservices architecture " "how much math do i need?" almost none this isn't computer science theory this is applied software architecture if you understand basic logic (if/else, loops) and can reason about tradeoffs, you're fine "what if i can't attend a live session?" every session is recorded with same day access but live attendance is strongly encouraged—that's where you get your specific questions answered you see how to debug design problems in real time you learn from others' questions breakthroughs happen through discussion if you know you'll miss most live sessions, consider waiting for a cohort that fits your schedule better "what's the time commitment?" live sessions 3 hours per week practice and projects 6 8 hours per week community engagement 2 3 hours per week total 12 15 hours per week for 8 weeks can't commit? don't enroll half hearted effort = half baked learning this career transition requires focus "will i become a full architect after 8 weeks?" no—and anyone promising that is lying to you becoming an architect takes years of experience this cohort gives you the knowledge and mental models architects use provides portfolio projects demonstrating architectural thinking prepares you for architect level interviews positions you for architect roles where you'll gain real world experience you'll go from "i don't even know what architects do" → "i can design systems and defend my decisions in interviews " the promotion to architect happens when you're applying these skills in a real role over time your next step enrollment information cohort structure duration 8 weeks intensive (40 50 hours of live instruction + projects) format live online sessions + recorded materials + community batch size limited to 30 50 students (quality over quantity) schedule weekday evenings or weekends (announced at enrollment) investment pricing ₹25,000 ₹45,000 (early bird vs regular pricing) payment options upfront or emi available roi 1 2 months of salary in your next role (₹28 45l range) what's included all live sessions with shivprasad koirala lifetime access to recordings and materials private community access (lifetime) complete project source code career growth sessions (resume, linkedin, interview prep) in person mixer invite certificate of completion alumni network access the bottom line your career decision you're at a fork in the road path 1 status quo stay in your developer role keep implementing features without questioning the architecture watch peers get promoted to architect roles stay stuck at ₹15 22l while your skill level justifies ₹35l+ keep getting rejected in architect interviews path 2 architect transition invest 8 weeks of intensive learning learn to think in systems, not just code build portfolio projects demonstrating architectural thinking interview confidently for architect roles negotiate ₹28 45l offers (60 100% increase) the cohort doesn't make you an architect overnight but it gives you the knowledge, frameworks, and portfolio to get hired into architect roles where you'll become one the question isn't "is this course worth it?" the question is "how much longer am i willing to stay stuck at my current level?" ready to make the leap? questions before enrolling? email us at questpond\@questpond com we'll answer honestly is this cohort right for your current skill level? what's the realistic timeline for career transition? how does this compare to other architecture programs? should you wait for a later cohort if timing doesn't work? we'd rather turn you away now than watch you struggle because you weren't ready but if you're a solid c# developer ready to think like an architect, this is the structured path forward the next cohort starts soon batch sizes are limited your move
