Neal Ford highlights solutions and trade-offs to architecture's difficult problems. You'll discover tools and practices to help you choose the proper granularity of components and services, messaging styles in microservices (choreography, orchestration, sagas), and data topics, including microservices caching and data meshes, styles of reuse, and reactive architectures.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

Understand trade-off analysis for architectural granularity, messaging styles in distributed architectures, and how to handle data in service-based architectures

Who is this presentation for?

You're an architect.
