- Course Overview
What this course is about
The senior Java programme. Architected for engineers who want to lead.
This course takes you from solid Java engineer to cloud-native systems designer through microservices architecture with Spring Cloud, real-time event streaming with Apache Kafka, container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes, and enterprise security with Spring Security and OAuth 2.0.
You won't just learn the tools. You'll build a complete, deployed cloud-native microservices system reviewed by an expert mentor at every stage that serves as the definitive portfolio project for senior Java engineering, tech lead, and solutions architect roles.
At ITLearnner, we focus on clarity, structure, and confidence. Every session adds a production-grade capability to the system you're building and every decision you make is one you'll be able to defend in any technical interview or architecture review.
Learning Objective :
By the end of this course, you will be able to
- Architect enterprise-grade microservices using Spring Cloud
- Design high-concurrency systems with Java threading and async models
- Diagnose JVM performance bottlenecks in production environments
- Integrate Apache Kafka for event-driven real-time data processing
- Deploy cloud-native Java applications to AWS with Docker and Kubernetes
- Implement enterprise security: JWT, OAuth 2.0, Spring Security
- Apply advanced design patterns across large codebases
- Write comprehensive test suites using TDD methodology
- Pass senior Java engineering technical interviews
- Lead architecture decisions for Java-based systems
- Optimise database queries, connection pools, and caching strategies
- Document and present system design to technical stakeholders
- Who this course is for:
Target Audience
Who this course is for
Target audience
For senior Java engineers ready to stop contributing to architecture and start owning it.
- Mid-to-senior Java developers who want to design and deploy microservices systems not just work inside them.
- Java engineers targeting senior engineer, tech lead, or solutions architect roles and needing a cloud-native portfolio project to make the case.
- Corporate development teams requiring structured upskilling in Spring Cloud, Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes delivered live, with expert review.
If you see yourself in one of these, this course is built for you.

Curriculum
01
Microservices Architecture and Spring Boot
Learn microservices design principles service decomposition, bounded contexts, and inter-service communication and apply them to scaffold your first production-ready Spring Boot microservice that will form the foundation of your capstone system.
02
Spring Cloud and Service Discovery
Learn Spring Cloud infrastructure components Eureka service registry, API Gateway routing, and load balancing and apply them to connect your microservices into a discoverable, routable system.
03
Event-Driven Architecture with Apache Kafka
Learn Apache Kafka core concepts producers, consumers, topics, partitions, and consumer groups and apply them to replace synchronous service calls with asynchronous event streaming between your microservices.
04
Containerisation with Docker
Learn Docker fundamentals Dockerfiles, image builds, container networking, and Docker Compose and apply them to containerise every microservice in your system and run the full stack locally with a single command.
05
Kubernetes Orchestration
Learn Kubernetes concepts Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and Ingress and apply them to deploy your containerised microservices to a Kubernetes cluster with production-grade resource configuration.
06
Enterprise Security with Spring Security and OAuth 2.0
Learn enterprise API security patterns JWT authentication, OAuth 2.0 authorisation flows, and Spring Security configuration and apply them to secure every service endpoint in your microservices system.
07
AWS Deployment and JVM Performance Tuning
Learn AWS deployment for containerised Java applications ECS, ECR, and CloudWatch and JVM performance tuning with heap sizing, GC strategy, and profiling, and apply them to deploy your system to AWS and benchmark its performance.
08
TDD, System Design, and Capstone Presentation
Learn test-driven development at the service level unit tests with Mockito, integration tests with Testcontainers, and contract testing and apply them to your complete cloud-native microservices capstone, which you will present and defend in a live architecture review.
