Seth Dobbs (Bounteous)
Average rating:
(4.81, 26 ratings)
Communication is not an optional soft skill for architects—it's essential to our success. We can have the most brilliant ideas, but if we're ineffective in communicating their value or if we can't obtain buy-in from our stakeholders, we won't be successful. Seth Dobbs shares a process for effectively shaping and communicating your solutions to different stakeholders.

Edwin Maldonado (Independent Consultant)
Average rating:
(3.17, 6 ratings)
Software engineers usually find themselves changing hard-coded content on the presentation layer, changing a paragraph here and there; that’s difficult to maintain and hard to scale. Now imagine you have to support and apply the same changes on the website and other devices. Edwin Maldonado provides the tools you need to design a reusable information architecture.

Every organization has at least a phalanx or two in the cloud. This is, understandably, changing the way we architect our systems. But your application portfolio is full of heritage systems that hail from the time before everything was as a service. Not all of those applications will make it to the valley beyond, so join Nathaniel Schutta for tips on grappling with your legacy portfolio.

Marco Palladino (Kong)
Service mesh discussions are dominated by vendors trying to frame mesh as a new technology. However, just as microservices are a pattern, not a specific technology, service mesh is a new way to deploy features that API management once comprised. Marco Palladino explores the service mesh pattern, notes the reasons for its emergence, and outlines the technical requirements.

Jochem Schulenklopper (Xebia)
Average rating:
(4.00, 10 ratings)
Communicating (about) architecture to non-IT/business stakeholders is a valuable skill for architects. After all, many architectural-relevant decisions are made by others, so they need to be informed with clear, honest, intelligible, and actionable information/advice. Jochem Schulenklopper shows theory, examples, and useful tips on eight different facets of visual communication of architecture.

Average rating:
(4.29, 7 ratings)
There are two common architectural failure modes: hierarchical command and control from ivory-tower architects with strict approvals and rigorous control gates, and chaos with every team doing what they want with little governance.

Average rating:
(3.00, 1 rating)
A free puppy is great but also takes a lot of time, energy, and money. Likewise, when we make a build-versus-buy calculation, it's easy to miss several important parts of the calculation, including maintenance, updating, security, availability, and finding operators. None of those are easy to articulate or value for either side. Join Heidi Waterhouse to learn why business value is more than money.
