What is Software Architecture? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer. We can describe software architecture patterns and argue about what is the best software architecture, but in reality, most definitions are vague enough to be unhelpful or so over the top to be more like a list of everything that you need to think

The “monoliths vs microservices” debate often focuses on technological aspects, ignoring strategy and team dynamics. Instead of technology, smart-thinking organizations are beginning with team cognitive load as the guiding principle for modern software. In this talk, we explain how and why the debate of monoliths versus microservices is missing the point, illustrated by real case

Modern web software architectures are amidst a paradigm shift — more and more web applications are built upon asynchronous and reactive patterns. This movement is understandable, as it takes scalability, resilience, and real-time integration to an elusive new level. Unfortunately, we observe that many new customer projects only use parts of this paradigm shift sensibly.

Everyone wants awesome architecture for their software development project. The kind of software architecture you can gladly show at conferences: scalable, secure, testable, and without technical debt. But how can we be sure we’re going in the right direction?
