Course modules
Foundations
- Latency, throughput, availability: define before you size.
- Consistency trade-offs and what they actually cost in use.
Scaling
- Load distribution, partitioning, replication.
- Caching: where, what, for how long, and how to invalidate.
Storage
- Choosing a data model from access patterns, not from fashion.
- Transactions, indexes, and the hidden cost of queries.
Communication
- Synchronous versus asynchronous, message queues, events.
- Retry handling, idempotency and exactly-once delivery.
Fault tolerance
- Failure modes, graceful degradation, circuit breakers.
- Case study: designing a system under real constraints, from sizing to recovery plan.
Why Altodia
- Practitioner trainers — our instructors design and operate these systems daily for our clients. They teach what they practise.
- Hands-on approach — exercises, case studies and real projects so that what is covered can be applied immediately.
- Complete resources — access to a library of guides, tutorials and tooling that stays useful after the course.
- Professional network — exchanges with practitioners in the field and with the other participants.
Our learners retain more of what they learn by doing it, report improved professional performance, and say the content helped them directly in their careers.
What you take away
A reusable reasoning framework, exercised across several case studies drawn from systems we actually built.
