Course Description: Microservice Explorer: Python + Django 2-Week Online Bootcamp for Teens

Online Python Microservices — Django (Module 1, 2 Weeks)

Think like a software architect. In two weeks, learners master the core principles of microservices using Python + Django, building small, independent REST services that communicate cleanly and store data reliably—guided live by a mentor, step by step.

⭐ Key Facts

• Format Live online (mentor-led)

• Duration 2 weeks (Module 1)

• Stack Python, Django, REST APIs, MySQL/PostgreSQL, basic auth, Postman testing

• Projects Weekly mini-projects + end-of-module multi-service demo

• Outcomes Certificate, personalised mentor feedback, star rating, eligibility for Level 2 – Python Microservice Creator

What You’ll Learn

• Microservices basics: modular architecture, benefits vs. monoliths, clear service boundaries

• Python & Django: models, views, serializers, REST endpoints

• Service integration: REST-based communication between independent services

• Databases: connect to MySQL/PostgreSQL; create, read, update, delete (CRUD) data

• Testing & debugging: test endpoints with Postman; verify payloads and responses

• Collaboration & discovery: foundational ideas for finding/integrating services

• Deployment (intro): run and verify services in a local environment

Week-by-Week (guide only)

Week 1 — Building Your First Python Service

• Intro to microservices and architecture concepts

• Django fundamentals and REST API creation

• Standalone microservice connected to a database

  Mini-projects:

1. Simple User Service — registration & login endpoints

2. Data Tracker — store/retrieve records via Django models (MySQL/PostgreSQL)

3. API Tester — validate endpoints using Postman, inspect live responses

   Mentor support: live coding, instant feedback, explain “why” behind patterns.

Week 2 — Connecting & Expanding Services

• Interaction patterns among multiple services

• REST calls between services; error handling; simple authentication

• Intro dashboard to surface service data

  Mini-projects:

1. Inventory Service — product CRUD + validation

2. Order Service — call Inventory via REST for availability checks

3. Service Dashboard — basic status/metrics view across services

   Mentor support: integration guidance, debugging across services, test strategy.
