Mastering Software Architecture Patterns and Antipatterns
An architecture pattern is a reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software architecture within a specific context. However, lurking alongside these patterns are their dangerous counterparts—anti-patterns—that, while appealing in theory, can lead to costly and far-reaching consequences in practice.
This full-day workshop dives deep into the world of architecture patterns and anti-patterns. We’ll explore the applicability, trade-offs, and governance of key patterns, while also examining how to identify and avoid common anti-patterns. Beyond the technical aspects, we’ll uncover how architecture patterns intersect with organizational elements like implementation, infrastructure, team topologies, data strategies, and generative AI.
Through qualitative analysis, real-world examples, and the use of fitness functions, attendees will gain actionable insights to design systems that are resilient, scalable, and aligned with business goals. Whether you’re an architect, developer, or technical leader, this workshop will equip you with the tools to navigate the complexities of modern software architecture.
