Deconstruct & Learn

2. Learning Objectives

By the end of this entire series, you should be able to

  • Understand why a composable enterprise architecture is key to extensible modern apps
  • Design, develop, and deliver, a serverless implementation of that architecture on Azure
  • Understand concepts like configuration-as-code, infrastructure-as-code and test automation
  • Understand how to use development containers for a consistent dev environment across teams
  • Understand how to use Playwright & Azure Developer CLI for end-to-end testing & deployment
  • Transfer that knowledge to your own application development needs or processes.

Using GitHub

The main goal of this series is to teach you how to deconstruct an open-source reference implementation codebase on your own. This lets you figure out how real-world solutions are designed, architected and implemented - and transfer that knowledge to your own projects.

Having a GitHub account is mandatory since we require you to fork the sample repo, and will make active use of features like GitHub Codespaces to support this objective.

Using Azure

Our learning objectives do not require you to deploy the application to Azure as part of the learning journey. The repository does provide guidelines for anyone who wants to take the extra step and deploy the solution to Azure - and you are welcome to explore that on your own if you have an active Azure account and subscription. Just remember that this is an enterprise-grade solution that will incur non-zero costs if deployed on Azure - so make sure you review the costs involved and track your spending, or delete the deployment in a timely manner, to avoid unexpected charges.

Having an Azure account and active subscription is optional for this set of labs. We will focus primarily on solution development & preview within a development container.
