YOUR CURRICULUM

Read it.
Try it.
Make it yours.

Work through the modules in order. Use the supporting guide for context, then complete the practice task before moving on.

Written lessons and self-guided practice. Live sessions and mentorship are arranged separately.

01

Start with constraints

Architecture begins with users, data, workload and quality goals. Name the constraints that matter, such as latency, access boundaries, budget and failure tolerance.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Write measurable requirements for one AI feature and identify the highest-risk assumption.

Read the supporting guide
02

Define boundaries

Separate the interface, application logic, model access and data retrieval. Draw which component owns each decision and how failures cross those boundaries.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Create a system diagram with inputs, outputs, data ownership and trust boundaries.

03

Budget latency and cost

A model call is one part of the end-to-end path. Consider retrieval, queuing and retries. Estimate from workload assumptions, then measure before committing to an optimisation.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Build a simple per-request latency and cost worksheet with your assumptions labelled.

Read the supporting guide
04

Design graceful failure

Decide what the product does when a dependency is slow or unavailable. Timeouts, bounded retries and a useful fallback should be designed together.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Document failure responses for the model, database and retrieval service.

Read the supporting guide
05

Record and evaluate decisions

Explain alternatives and trade-offs in a decision record. Define the evidence that would make you revisit the choice. Review architecture with representative workloads.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Deliver the architecture brief with three decision records and a test plan.
