Architecture Kata - Codurance and Kraken

We're excited to announce an exciting Software Crafters Manchester event on March 21st, co-hosted alongside Kraken.

Kraken are industry leaders in the renewable energy market. They enable the World’s largest utilities, traders, generators and network operators to manage and optimise Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in real-time and at scale. Their work is enabled by technology and they have a large engineering team based in Manchester.

We are working with Kraken to create a bespoke architecture kata, specifically for this event. Join us for this session and get the chance to flex your architectural design muscles!

What's the format?
You'll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You'll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context. As with real-life you'll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.
At the end of the task each team will showcase their architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion.

Whether you're a seasoned coder, software architect or new to the scene, you're invited to share insights, discuss best practices, and learn from fellow participants. No prior session attendance or architecture knowledge is required – just bring your enthusiasm. No laptop is required for this session, we'll provide each group with paper, pens and sticky notes to support the activity.

This event will be hosted at Kraken's office:
Circle Square,
Oxford Rd,
Manchester,
M1 7FS

Food and drinks will be provided with vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options available.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
