• Modular monoliths and microservices: selection criteria and trade-offs.
• Frontend and backend design patterns, scalability and performance.
• Data modelling, database design and data integrity considerations.
• Secure development lifecycle and security requirements.
•  Threat modelling, trust boundaries, attack surfaces and abuse cases.
• Secure-by-design principles and environment separation.

Advanced Frontend Development and Identity Security

• Angular application structure, reusable components and reactive forms.
• State management, routing, API communication and error handling.
• Frontend performance, accessibility and testing strategies.
• Authentication versus authorization and enterprise single sign-on.
