Continuous Delivery for Architects

Continuous Delivery is a process for automating the production readiness of your application every time a change occurs – to code, infrastructure, or configuration. It turns out that some architectures and practices yield code that works better in this environment. This session takes a deep dive into the intersection of the architect role and the engineering practices in Continuous Delivery. In the Continuous Delivery world, rather than hone skills at predicting the future via Big Design Up Front, the emphasis lies with techniques for understand and changing code with less cost during the process. I discuss the role of metrics to understand code, how Domain Driven Design’s Bounded Context reifies in architecture, how to reduce intra-component/service coupling, and microservices architectures, and other engineering techniques.
