Vertical Slice Architecture: Effective Guardrails for AI Development

‼️Registration is required via the link‼️https://codeartify.com/en/public-video-sessions/vertical-slice-architecture-effective-guardrails-for-ai-development ‼️

About the session
AI can generate code quickly, but teams still need a clear structure for where that code belongs.

This session introduces how Vertical Slice Architecture and Domain-Driven Design help organize software around business change, use cases, and domain boundaries.

Jimmy Bogard will show how this way of structuring systems can make software easier to understand, easier to evolve, and easier to work with when AI becomes part of everyday development.

The focus is practical: how to keep simple features simple, how to recognize when stronger boundaries are useful, and how to guide AI-generated changes without letting the architecture become accidental.

You probably ask yourself…

• How should we structure software when AI becomes part of everyday development?
• Why do layered architectures often become harder to change over time?
• What does it mean to organize software around vertical slices?
• Where does Domain-Driven Design help, and where is it unnecessary overhead?
• How can teams evolve existing systems without turning every change into a rewrite?

What you will take away

• How Vertical Slice Architecture organizes software around business capabilities.
• How Domain-Driven Design helps when rules, workflows, and boundaries become more important.
• How clearer architecture gives both humans and AI better context for implementing change.
• How to keep software simple while still making room for growth.

Who this is for
This session is for software engineers, tech leads, software architects, engineering managers, and teams who work on business-critical software and want their architecture to support change.

It is especially relevant for teams using or evaluating AI coding tools and looking for clearer ways to structure features, domain logic, tests, and boundaries.

Who this is not for
This is not a generic AI productivity demo, framework walkthrough, or theoretical architecture lecture.

The focus is on practical architectural structure: vertical slices, domain boundaries, and software that remains understandable as it evolves.
