Federated Architecture

Model multi-repo systems with Sruja federation.

Why This Course?

Modern organizations have dozens or hundreds of microservices spread across multiple repositories. Traditional architecture tools work per-repo, leaving you with fragmented views and no cross-repo visibility.

Federated architecture with Sruja gives you:

• ✅ Single source of truth across all repos
• ✅ Cross-repo relationships visible in one diagram
• ✅ Conflict detection before they cause problems
• ✅ Consistent governance across all teams
• ✅ AI-ready context for any editor

What You'll Learn

• Bundle Publishing: Export repo architecture as portable bundles
• System Composition: Compose multiple bundles into a unified graph
• Conflict Resolution: Handle duplicate services across repos
• Cross-Repo Relationships: Model dependencies between repositories
• Federated Governance: Scale policies across all repos
• AI Editor Integration: Use federated context in AI coding

Who This Course Is For

• Platform engineers managing multiple repos
• Architects overseeing microservices ecosystems
• DevOps teams needing cross-repo visibility
• Engineering leaders tracking architecture at scale

Prerequisites

• Familiarity with Sruja DSL basics
• Understanding of microservices architecture
• Experience with multi-repo/monorepo setups
• Basic command line skills

Estimated Time

3-4 hours
