There are no universal best practices in software architecture. Every design decision involves trade-offs, which is why the answer to so many architecture questions is, “It depends.” This session tackles the natural follow-up: “Depends on what?”
You will explore techniques and tools for understanding and evaluating architectural trade-offs, including how to approach design iteratively and how to avoid common trade-off traps.
What You Will Learn
How to identify and evaluate trade-offs in software architecture
How iterative design can help architects and teams work through trade-offs
How to recognise and avoid common trade-off traps
Who Should Attend
Software Architects, Developers, Technical Leads, and other practitioners involved in software design and architectural decision-making.
