From chaos architecture to event streaming to leading teams, the O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference offers a unique depth and breadth of content. We received more than 200 abstracts for talks for the 2018 O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in London—on both expected and surprising topics.

Without further ado, here are the key results: • At first glance, cloud usage seems overwhelming. More than half of respondents use multiple cloud services. •

Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed cloud environments. As legacy monolithic applications give way to more nimble and portable services, the tools once used to monitor their performance are unable to serve the complex cloud-native architectures that now host them.

When organizations focus on data privacy by design, they build security considerations into cloud systems upfront rather than as a bolt-on consideration. Organizations need greater transparency and visibility into core multi- and hybrid cloud environments to combat these challenges.

Modernizing an architecture usually take years. Even a decade or more is nothing out of the ordinary for large organizations who have accumulated legacy and heritage systems over long periods of time. As a result, there can be pressure to begin modernizing a part of the system that will have a clear business impact.

OS X, which used to trumpet “It just works,” has evolved to “it used to just work”; the most user-centric Unix-like system ever built now staggers under the load of new and poorly thought-out features. Most professional programmers work on large systems that can consist of thousands of functions and millions of lines of code.
