Deliberate Architecture

Explore deliberate software architecture in this 59-minute conference talk from NDC Conferences. Learn how to design systems based on major forces acting on a solution rather than following current trends. Examine the importance of focusing on constraints and qualities in system design, rather than getting distracted by features. Discover the differences between emergent and deliberate architecture, and understand how to step back and evaluate your system's structure. Gain insights into the role of software architects, the impact of biases, and the significance of software qualities and tradeoffs. Delve into topics such as incident forces, nonfunctional requirements, emergent qualities, control theory, and the Agile process. Receive practical advice on stakeholder management and developing a personal architectural style that prioritizes deliberate decision-making over ad hoc responses.
