Presentation: Godzilla, Hydra, and Tribbles – Evolving a late 90's Java App to Cloud-based Microservices

Track: Software Architecture / Time: Friday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Glazen Zaal

It's easy to rationalise architectural decisions while we're building a piece of software. How do those decisions hold up in the code as time goes by? How do those decisions change over the course of a decade or more? If the software is still in active development, what new decisions are made for the future, and why?

In this talk we'll examine innovation-fuelled software started over a decade ago. Josh will be uncovering the artifacts of key architectural decisions across 12 years. Using the direction of a cloud-based technology strategy, he will extrapolate architectural changes to give us a vision of the next decade, and will present models of the past, present, and future evolution of the architecture, code, and deployment topologies.
