Getting Started: Solution Architecture

Get started with the art of Solution Architecture

No subject in software engineering will add more value to an engineer’s skillset than having a good understanding and, eventually, mastery of the topic of solution architecture. It is the bedrock of everything we do; without it, we can’t create good solutions, no matter how good our code is. The phrase “the right tool for the right job.” rings true with solution architecture more than any other subject in engineering, and knowing when to choose the correct database or even the right technologies to build your solution reasonably, depends on a sound understanding of solution architecture. In this course, James Eastham, Senior Software Architect for Amazon Web Services (AWS), will introduce you to the concept of Solution Architecture and give you all the foundational knowledge you need to master the subject.
