Apium Academy’s Backend Architecture course: Write Sustainable Backends

Apium Academy has been part of our ecosystem for a while now. We have an ongoing close collaboration with this academy specialized in software development courses, and we’ve already talked about them in the past, like when we announced the Android Architecture course or the academy’s birth.

And the thing is, Apium Academy keeps growing little by little. New courses keep being created, and today we’d like to talk about one of them: the upcoming Backend Architecture course, which will be taught by Álvaro García, our Principal Engineer, and Rafa Ruiz, one of our Tech Leads. Sounds interesting?

Backend Architecture Course in Barcelona

Apium Academy has a particular way of approaching its courses. It’s not only about teaching technical knowledge but to show its real applications, with practical exercises done with the teacher’s assistance. Another essential element is to focus on methodology. At the end of the course, the students must have a clear idea about how to apply best practices on their everyday work in order to achieve a strong code and working software.

In this course about Backend Architecture, you will learn to work with Kotlin and architect a scalable and maintainable code. You will also learn how to apply DDD to model your business processes and how to apply TDD to keep your code free of bugs and, especially, how to apply the best practices to produce maintainable, high-quality software.

Backend Architecture Course Topics

• Paradigms: Object-Oriented (polymorphism, inheritance…) + Functional (immutability, streams, …)
• Decoupling services (repository pattern, application service, domain service…): Functional Core + Imperative Shell
• Architecture patterns: Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters)
• Testing: types of test, test doubles, other tools
• Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
• Design Principles (SOLID, KISS, DRY, …)
• Patterns (MVC, Use Case, Factory, builder, adapter, facade, decorator…)
