Software-Architecture Revolution is the process of making profound, large-scale changes to the fundamental structures of software systems to improve its attributes, such as availability, scalability, and maintainability, or to enable new requirements that are incompatible with the current capabilities. Architectural revolution demands substantial effort from the organization and needs effective leadership to be successful. This talk draws from practical experiences (patterns) to improve the effectiveness of architectural revolution initiatives.
Target Audience: Architects, Managers, Project Leaders, Coaches, Developers, Product Owners, Decision Makers
Prerequisites: Leadership, Architecture, Project Management, Working with Teams, Agile mindset
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
Pressure to adapt to and shape the market requires agile organizations to add new features, accommodate new interactions, and have new teams work on adapting the software. Sometimes a straightforward software architecture that starts out small when communication is easy can support guided, incremental architectural changes and can gradually evolve with its environment, remaining fit for its purposes. Other times it is not so simple: the initial software architecture can be poorly suited for supporting required changes, or the accumulation of suboptimal architectural decisions (also known as architectural technical debt) can be too severe; in either case, the architecture needs an extensive revision; especially for the organization to remain agile and adapt to the changing market.
Software architecture revolution can be defined as the process of making profound, large-scale changes to the fundamental structures of a software system to improve its attributes, such as availability, scalability, and maintainability, or to enable new requirements that are incompatible with the current capabilities. Architectural revolution usually demands substantial effort from the organization and thus depends on effective leadership to be successful. However, while there is plenty of research on the technical aspects of any architectural transformation, not much is available from the leadership perspective. The role of managers and other leaders include championing the revolution initiative, prioritizing activities, negotiating the allocation of people and resources, evaluating results, taking corrective actions, and reporting achievements. This talk draws from practical experiences to describe patterns to improve the effectiveness of architectural revolution initiatives.

This is not about what an "Agile Architecture" could be. It is about the view from the opposite direction:
How can architecture work look like in order to act as an enabler to work in the spirit of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development?
There are answers to questions like.
• Why is architecture documentation so rarely read?
• How much technology focus is helpful and why?
• What knowledge needs to be built by yourself in the first place?
• What does programming have to do with architecture?
And above all: what does it mean in practice?
Target Audience: (Senior) Software Developers, Architects, Knowledge-Managers
Prerequisites: Curiosity for why architecture work is still so difficult.
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
This is not about the question "How does a good architecture emerge in an 'Agile environment'". Nor is it about whether hexagonal, clean or onion architectures are good for ‘agile projects’.
Rather, it is about the view from the opposite direction:
What should architecture work look like in practice to act as an enabler for working in the way of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development?
Covering (at least) these points:
- Being read is more important than writing or: The worm must taste good to the fish, not to the angler.
- Concepts are more important than technologies or: Kafka is not a business interface
- Parnas and Dijksta are more important than reddit/r/docker or: "Have we reinvented the wheel yet this year?"
- Software crafting is an architecture issue or: Riding a bike is only easy if you've learned how to do it
We look at what is actually meant by this in detail, and how we can arrive at "good practices" for the daily work.
Michael Mahlberg ist nicht nur Sprecher auf vielen Konferenzen, sondern verbringt einen Großteil seiner Arbeitszeit damit, als Organisationsentwickler Kunden dabei zu unterstützen, an den Themen, über die er erzählt, effektiv zu arbeiten. Danach erzählt er wieder über die Dinge, die seine Kunden und er gemeinsam gelernt haben. Manchmal schreibt er auch darüber in Fachartikeln. Ansonsten bezeichnet er sich als methodenagnostischer Methodenberater und sein Motto lautet „Accept Reality“.

A main theme in modern architectures is around fine-grained, isolated, reactive components, that are managed by autonomous teams (think microservices). This is considered key to decoupling, which, in turn, leads to business agility. Unfortunately, this often goes wrong and people end up with more tightly coupled systems, that are hard to understand and change - the opposite of agility. In this talk, I will explore why this happens and provide my view on how process orchestration can improve the situation without harming any good architecture.
Target Audience: Architects, Lead Engineers, IT Decision Makers
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in Microservice architecture
Level: Basic
Extended Abstract:
I will walk you through the challenges around event-driven systems and microservices, talking about orchestration and choreography, also showing you how to balance both architectural approaches.
I will further discuss the importance of looking at end-to-end processes before going into local automations, as local optimizations can actually harm the global result.
I will further compare different approaches to automate end-to-end processes, from batches over streaming to workflow engines. You will understand the impact on agility and get guidance on decision criteria, backed by examples collected in various real-life projects.
I will sketch what influence those architecture decisions have on the governance and enterprise architecture of organizations.

Designing good applications has become more demanding than ever: Extremely flexibility. Super-fast to change. Never down. Increasing user demands. Sustainability. Fewer developers. More AI. The list appears to be endless.
Many demands have not existed 10 or 15 years ago. Some have changed dramatically. Still, the discussions regarding architecture barely reflect that. In this session, we will take a look at how the architectural demands have changed and how to tackle the challenges of today best.
Target Audience: Architects, Senior Developers, Decision Makers
Prerequisites: Sound architectural knowledge makes the ideas presented easier to grasp
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
Designing good applications has become more demanding than ever: Extremely flexibility. Super-fast to change. Never down. Demand-based scaling. Increasing user demands. Sustainability. APIs as first class citizens. Secure like a fortress. Fewer developers. More AI. The list appears to be endless.
Many of today's architecture demands have not existed 10 or 15 years ago. Some have changed dramatically. Still, most discussions regarding architecture seem to be stuck in the early 2000s.
In this session, we will take a look at how our application design demands have changed, what it means today to design good applications and how to tackle the challenges best.
Let us catch up together and learn what architectural work today means!

Continuous Software Architecture is an approach to software architecture that tries to move architecture from a set of up-front blueprints to a continually developed set of architectural knowledge and decisions. While a simple idea, actually putting it into practice can be difficult. In this talk we will briefly recap the idea of Continuous Software Architecture and then explore the key practices that are usually needed to achieve it, as well as the common problems and how to address them.
Target Audience: Architects, Developers, Technical Project Managers
Prerequisites: Some familiarity with agile development and modern architecture practice
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
Continuous Software Architecture is a philosophy and approach to software architecture that embraces the fact that doing most of the design before the implementation does not work very well, and perhaps never did. The approach tries to move architecture to a continually developed set of architectural knowledge and decisions, stressing collective ownership of the resulting architecture. This talk will provide attendees with practical and actionable advice on implementing the five key practices of Continuous Architecture: Technical Leadership, Achieving Quality Attributes, Driving Design Decisions, Managing Technical Debt and Implementing Feedback Loops.
