Learn software design from the legendary architect Juval Löwy.

Over the past 20 years, Juval has led the industry in architecture and project design. Some of his ideas, such as microservices, serve as the foundation of software design and development.

In this dense LiveLessons video Juval Löwy explains his approach to system analysis and design, using volatility to decompose a system into its comprising services. Juval contrasts it with the most common mistake done in architecture, using functionality to identify services.

This engaging video discusses both what not to do and how to correctly define the architecture of software systems. The objective is to future proof your system and make it drastically easier to develop and maintain.
