Presentation:
Understanding Architecture Styles (And When To Use Them)

Whether starting a new greenfield application or analyzing the vitality of an existing application, one of the decisions an architect must make is which architecture style to use (or to refactor to). Microservices? Service-Based? Microkernel? Pipeline? Layered? Space-Based? Event-Driven? SOA?. Understanding these architecture styles and the strengths and weaknesses of each is an essential starting point in determining which one to use. In this presentation Mark Richards, author of the book “Fundamentals of Software Architecture” will talk about eight common architecture styles, discuss the pros and cons or each, and when you should (and shouldn’t) use them.
