Studying with my own roadmap
I put together a Software Engineer roadmap to organize my studies, and it's the one I follow today: from the fundamentals to architecture and System Design, with the courses, articles, videos and books I use along the way. It's open, so you can follow along.
Studying now
- Stage 3 · Architecture & System DesignDistributed Systems and Architectural PatternsWhen a single process isn't enough: microservices, event-driven architecture and serverless — with their benefits and (many) costs.
- Stage 3 · Architecture & System DesignData ConsistencyIn distributed systems, not everyone sees the same data at the same time. Understand consistency models and the trade-offs of the CAP theorem.
- Stage 3 · Architecture & System DesignScalability and PerformanceHow a system grows from a thousand to a million users: scaling horizontally, distributing load, taking pressure off the database and avoiding the classic anti-patterns.
