Twin Cities Software Symposium

March 3 - 6, 2016

Architectural Modularity

Friday - Mar 4 12:15 PM CST - SALON A

It seems like all we talk about these days is making our architectures more modular. Buy why? In this session I will discuss the drivers and reasons why it is essential to move towards a level of modularity in our architectures. I will discuss and show real-world use cases of distributed modular architectures (specifically microservices and service-based architecture), and then discuss in detail the core differences between microservices and service-based architecture and when you should consider each. I'll end the talk by discussing the most effective way of migrating to modular distributed architectures.

Agenda:

  • Drivers for modularity
  • Modular distributed architectures
  • Microservices vs. service-based architecture
  • The move towards modularity
