Building Evolutionary Architectures Workshop

This workshop highlights the ideas from the forthcoming Building Evolutionary Architectures, showing how to build architectures that evolve gracefully over time.

Stories Every Developer Should Know

Stories and lessons from architecture, design, process, and other sources, each illustrating important principles and pitfalls for modern architects.

Documenting and Presenting Software Architectures

This session covers two critical soft skills for architects:

• creating clear, concise documentation of software architecture, both structure and decisions
• presenting architectural ideas as clearly as possible

Continuous Delivery for Architects Workshop

Architecture doesn't exist in a vacuum, a painful lesson developers who built logically sound but operationally cumbersome architectures learned. Continuous Delivery is a process for automating the production readiness of your application every time a change occurs–to code, infrastructure, or configuration. Some architectures and practices yield code that works better in this environment. This session takes a deep dive into the intersection of the architect role and the engineering practices in Continuous Delivery.

Comparing Service-based Architectures

This session compares Service-oriented, Service-based, and Micro-service architectures, describing the problem each is designed to solve, differences and similarities, variants and hybrids, and engineering practices.

Building Evolutionary Architectures

An evolutionary architecture supports incremental, guided change along multiple dimensions.

Build Your Own Technology Radar Workshop for Architects

A Technology Radar is a tool that forces you to organize and think about near term future technology decisions, both for you and your company. This talk discusses using the radar for personal breadth development, architectural guidance, and governance.
