We launched Dopmri in 2023 after spending several years building systems and helping teams adopt better architecture patterns. What we noticed repeatedly was a disconnect between theoretical knowledge and actual implementation. Engineers understood concepts but struggled when deploying services, managing communication between components, or dealing with real production constraints.
Rather than adding another general course to the market, we decided to focus on hands-on learning. Our workshops guide participants through building functional microservices systems, handling the practical challenges that textbooks often skip. Each session includes concrete tasks that mirror what you would encounter in actual development work. We cover service isolation, API design decisions, data consistency patterns, deployment strategies, and monitoring approaches using tools that teams currently rely on.
The platform operates entirely online, which lets us serve participants from different regions without requiring travel. Sessions are structured around progressive assignments where you implement components, test interactions between services, and troubleshoot issues in a controlled environment. This approach developed from our own experience training development teams, where we found that working through realistic scenarios produced better retention than passive learning.
We maintain small workshop groups because microservices work requires individual feedback on architectural choices. Each participant receives specific guidance on their implementation decisions, code organization, and system design trade-offs. Our instructors have built distributed systems professionally and understand the difference between academic examples and production requirements.
Practical learning focused on real implementation challenges and architectural decisions
Principal Instructor
Radu designs the workshop curriculum and leads technical sessions. He spent eight years building distributed systems for financial platforms, where service reliability and data consistency were critical requirements. His teaching approach emphasizes understanding architectural trade-offs rather than following standard patterns without context.
Technical Coordinator
Teodor manages workshop infrastructure and supports participants during implementation exercises. His background includes deploying containerized services across cloud environments and debugging production systems. He helps students translate theoretical concepts into working configurations during practical assignments.
