Aligning organizational and technical boundaries will be the most important responsibility of future architects. Nick Tune explains why we must learn to codesign and coevolve teams and technical architectures to take the next big step to reduce lead times and build learning organizations.

Most discussions about implementing microservices start by evaluating the technical options and their challenges. However, the real business value is in functionality. Allard Buijze demonstrates how to build evolutionary microservices, starting with a single application that can be scaled out and distributed once the sensible boundaries are known.

Karun Japhet tells the tale of how one company bridged the technological divide between modern event-driven systems and traditional architectures, building a resilient platform with eventual consistency guarantees even when third parties provided no guarantees of reasonable service.

Karun Japhet tells a tale of bridging the technological divide between modern event-sourced systems and more traditional architectures from the last few decades, exploring how a resilient, modern, event-sourced, CQRS-based, domain-driven designed platform can be built with eventual consistency guarantees when third parties provide no guarantees of reasonable service.

Domain-driven design (DDD) helps focus and guide software development efforts, but learning DDD can be a daunting task. Steven Lowe shares three simple philosophical rules that guide understanding and application of DDDcapture the domain model, embed it in the code, and protect it from corruptionand explains how these rules guide DDD at all scales.
