Learning Resources
This generated surface maps a learner-facing curriculum unit to its canonical source routes.
Curriculum surface
- Open learner-facing unit
- Curriculum path:
content/curriculum/production/semester-08-system-design-leadership/module-02-microservices-service-decomposition/resources.md - App:
production - Semester:
semester-08-system-design-leadership - Module:
module-02-microservices-service-decomposition - Unit kind:
resource - Curation level:
module_curated
Learning objectives
- Explain Learning Resources as a boundary and coordination problem, not a default move toward more services.
- Use Learning Resources to reason about coupling, ownership, deployment cost, and operational complexity in a real organization.
- Use
fundamentals-of-software-architecture,system-design-primerto connect the learner page to decomposition strategies, data ownership, and service collaboration tradeoffs.
Prerequisites
- Comfort with structured system-design thinking and the cost of architectural boundaries from module 01.

External enrichment
- Martin Fowler: Microservices (
read_if_stuck) - Keeps the learner anchored in real tradeoffs when discussing service boundaries and organizational cost. - microservices.io: Service Decomposition (
official_docs_companion) - Adds concrete decomposition patterns that make service-boundary decisions more actionable.

Source-of-truth note
This teaching unit is learner-facing guidance assembled from multiple canonical book routes. Use the listed source books as the primary conceptual spine for Learning Resources, and treat outside material as supporting enrichment only.
