- 3. 3 • Is ithard to make right architecture? • Case for today: from Darkness to Light • Agile transition: Complex things via simple steps • Lean applied: Changing architecture • Vision is not enough: Channing processes AGENDA
- 4. 4 Is it hardto make right architecture?
- 5. 5 • What isArchitecture? • Is here someone who creates Architecture as part of his job? • Who implements things according to Architecture? • Who has no Architecture on his project? • Who doesn’t need it? WHAT IS ARCHITECTURE
- 6. 6 Architecture is aset of rules and already made decisions on how a system is to be built Good architecture is good decisions and good approach WHAT IS ARCHITECTURE

Amazon wanted the “add to cart” action to never fail. This was done by compromising consistency, as well as basically every feature present in a traditional RDBMS • Kafka was designed to handle the throughput of all the analytics events at LinkedIn: to around 1 trillion events per day, with peaks of over 10 million messages per second. • … YOU ARE NOT GOOGLE https://epa.ms/gc-not-google

- 17. 19 Problem • 20+ yearsold, 1.5M LoC big legacy system • Hard to add new features and extend existing code. Reached capacity of VB6 • Painful releases: hard to ensure appropriate quality • 100+ clients afraid of new changes Business Drivers/Goals • Get control on updates of clients apps • Decrease operational, infrastructure, license cost • Add new clients easier • Continuous Improvement SYSTEM AS IT WAS
- 18. 20 Problem • 20+ yearsold, 1.5M LoC big legacy system • Demand driven development • 400+ forms, 600+ DB tables • 100+ clients afraid of new changes Business Drivers/Goals • Get control on updates of clients apps • Decrease operational, infrastructure, license cost • Add new clients easier • Continuous Improvement SYSTEM AS IT WAS
