David Leitner: The Art of Architecting for Scale

After the talk we have time for more drinks and smalltalk.

Restarting the meetup:
Long time no see! Finally we are restarting this group and we will be back in Einstein Kultur! Definitively the best location for this meetup.
And please welcome David as co-organizer! He will not only give the first talk of the new Microservices meetup season, but he is also supporting with organizing, sponsoring and filling the speaker pipeline.

Abstract:
Every day, companies struggle to bring great software products to their customers with sufficient speed and efficiency. Especially with an organization's increasing size and complexity, this becomes a significant challenge, and the pace occasionally feels like going against zero. But more than ever, precisely this skill of scaling software development efficiently differentiates thriving companies from less successful ones.

In this talk, I will share some insights on architecting successfully for both: organizational and technical scales. We dive into the dilemma between duplication and autonomy, the tradeoff between simplicity and technical excellence, and the key concepts that allow us to create the architectural foundation that stands the test of constant change. We will further explore why highly available, elastic, and resilient service-based architectures are non-negotiable in delivering customer value at a permanent pace. But we will also grasp why it rarely seems to work out in our industry.

Unfortunately, no silver bullet will enable your organization to deliver outstanding software efficiently at scale. Still, this presentation will give you the needed knowledge to move in the right direction.
