The SOA Analysis & Modeling with Services & Microservices course provides in-depth coverage of service and API modeling for microservices and other services, including complex service compositions and service inventory blueprints. It explores SOA analysis techniques, models and approaches, and further delves into step-by-step processes for service and microservice analysis and modeling for REST and Web service mediums, highlighting the establishment of service layers in a conceptual blueprint.

Complete the SOA Analysis & Modeling with Services & Microservices course and, optionally, get accredited as a Certified SOA Analyst by passing the certification exam. You can purchase the course now and get the exam later, or you can get them together at a discount as part of the Certification Bundle.

Upon completing the course you will receive a digital certificate of completion, as well as a digital training badge from Acclaim/Credly. Because this course encompasses both the SOA Professional and SOA Analyst certifications, upon passing the exam you will also receive official SOA Professional and SOA Analyst digital accreditation certificates and certification badges from Acclaim/Credly, along with an account that can be used to verify your certification status.

If you already completed the SOA Professional course modules, you can purchase a partial course (or a partial bundle) with only the modules specific to the SOA Analyst track here.

The SOA Analysis & Modeling with Services & Microservices course is comprised of the following 5 course modules, each of which has an estimated completion time of 10 hours:

  • Module 1: Fundamental SOA, Services & Microservices
  • Module 3: Design & Architecture with SOA, Services & Microservices
  • Module 4: Fundamental SOA Analysis & Modeling with Services & Microservices
  • Module 5: Advanced SOA Analysis & Modeling with Services & Microservices
