Fri, April 30AI-Assisted Software EngineeringArchitecture & Distributed Systems
Agentic AI introduces new possibilities in software architecture, including the ability to work towards a solution when deterministic constraints exist. As developers and architects build ways for agents to determine success, they need deterministic methods for defining those constraints. In this session, you will explore how Architecture as Code can provide foundational constraints that help guide agents towards properly architected code.
You will examine the ideas behind Architecture as Code and how they developed from documenting the ways software architecture intersects with the wider software development ecosystem, including data, engineering practices, team topologies, and six other areas. By defining architectural structure and constraints in code, architects can create a fast feedback loop for responding to changes in architecture and guide implementation.
What You Will Learn
How Architecture as Code can define foundational constraints for agents
How architectural structure and constraints can be documented in code to guide implementation
How Architecture as Code connects software architecture with areas such as data, engineering practices, and team topologies
Who Should Attend
Software Architects, Enterprise Architects, Developers, and technical practitioners working with agentic AI or Architecture as Code.
