Architectural Patterns: Common Solutions for Building Large Scale Systems
As an industry we collectively agree that architecture is very important. Yet, how do we know what the architecture for a large scale or enterprise system should be? The answer to every single application out there, seriously, can't be Microservices.
What are the different architectures? Why should we choose one over the other? Or should we choose a combination of them for some applications? How do we make such decisions? What should be the process or the approach that will lead us towards selecting a more suitable or appropriate architecture, one that comes from proper analysis rather than infatuation or desire to build something because that's seems to be the current trend.
In this workshop, we will take a very systemic approach to going from requirements to choosing suitable architectures. We will cover the following topics, not by simple talking about these, but by way of hands-on exercises and interactive and collaborative sessions:
- Challenges with selecting Architectures
- Functional and non-functional requirements
- Evaluating trade offs
- Methodical Mapping from requirements to patterns
- Architectural Patterns
- Underpinnings of monoliths and distributed architectures
- Hands-on exercises to analyze application requirements
- Groups labs to evaluate the architectural patterns for different application characteristics
- Using AI to assist with requirements analysis
- Cautiously Using AI to guide along the selection process
- Next steps beyond choosing architecture
Who should attend:
- Senior programmers
- Team leads*Architects
- Technical managers and directors
