More Than Just Theory
Modular Monolith Architecture includes more than just theoretical discussion.
We're going to build a production-ready system from scratch. This includes dozens of API endpoints, 50+ use cases, and 6000+ lines of code.
I built the course with bonus resources to make sure you apply what you learn.
After Completing This Course You Will
- Confidently use Modular Monoliths to build robust and scalable systems
- Learn how to create an architecture that stands the test of time
- Understand how to implement an event-driven system
- Easily migrate to microservices (if you need to)
Who teaches Modular Monolith Architecture? Milan Jovanović
Milan Jovanović is a Serbian software engineer and Microsoft MVP focused on the architectural side of .NET development — particularly Clean Architecture, Modular Monoliths, and the patterns for building maintainable production .NET applications. He runs the Milan Jovanović Tech newsletter — one of the more widely-read newsletters in the .NET community — and publishes paid course material on the same topics.
His CourseFlix listing carries three Milan Jovanović courses: Pragmatic Clean Architecture, Modular Monolith Architecture, and Pragmatic REST APIs. The teaching style is unusually rigorous for the .NET tutorial market about architectural decisions — each course is essentially a senior engineer's playbook on a specific architectural pattern.
Material is paid and aimed at intermediate-and-up .NET developers responsible for architectural decisions on real production systems. For broader content, see CourseFlix's C# and System Design & Architecture category pages.

Frequently asked questions
What are the prerequisites for enrolling in this course?
Prospective students should have a foundational understanding of software architecture and programming. Familiarity with concepts such as Domain-Driven Design, dependency injection, and basic knowledge of event-driven systems will be beneficial. The course covers advanced topics like the Outbox Pattern, CQRS with MongoDB, and distributed messaging, which require prior experience in software development.
What kind of projects will I build during the course?
Students will work on the Evently Sample Application, which is used throughout the course to demonstrate the principles of Modular Monolith Architecture. Key projects include building the first module, scaffolding the Ticketing Module, and implementing authentication and authorization with Keycloak. These projects are designed to help students apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.
Who is the target audience for this course?
This course is aimed at software architects and developers looking to enhance their skills in building scalable and maintainable systems using Modular Monolith Architecture. It is particularly useful for those transitioning from traditional monolithic or microservices architectures to a more modular approach.
How does this course differ from other architecture courses?
Unlike some courses that focus solely on either monolithic or microservices architectures, this course provides a balanced approach to Modular Monolith Architecture. It covers both theoretical concepts like Domain-Driven Design and practical implementation details such as structured logging with Serilog and Seq, and distributed caching with Redis. The course also addresses the transition from monoliths to microservices, making it comprehensive for modern architectural needs.
What tools and platforms are specifically covered in this course?
The course covers a variety of tools and platforms essential for implementing Modular Monolith Architecture. These include Serilog and Seq for structured logging, Redis for distributed caching, RabbitMQ for distributed messaging, and Keycloak for identity provider setup. It also introduces YARP for API gateways, providing students with a robust toolkit for building modern applications.
What topics are not covered in this course?
The course does not delve into front-end development or user interface design. It focuses primarily on back-end architecture and system design patterns. Additionally, while there is a section on extracting modules to microservices, the course does not cover microservices in extensive detail, focusing instead on the modular monolith approach.
What is the expected time commitment for completing the course?
With 59 lessons to cover, students should expect to dedicate a significant amount of time to complete the course thoroughly. Although the exact runtime is not specified, the detailed nature of the lessons, including practical exercises and tests, suggests a commitment of several weeks to fully grasp and implement the concepts taught.
