While MVPs have been mainstream for a long time, the concept of Value Streams and Value Stream Architecture is still in the early adopter phase in the DevOps world. or “How do software architecture, domains, Conway’s Law, Team Topologies, and value streams all fit together?”. They’re all pieces in the same puzzle.

If I can capture key information earlier, that gives me a good understanding of key elements of the business’s architecture, we can get to valuable conversations sooner. I’m looking at this challenge from multiple angles, and one of them is figuring out the key information I need. The product taxonomy definitions by Ross Clanton et al.

If you would like to learn or practice how to break up a large business into domains and use them as the foundation for your software architecture and team organization, I have created a strategic domain-driven design kata that you may find useful. Design review is basically a code review but for architecture.

Thoughtful and effective decision-making was a key trend at the O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference in Berlin 2019. The ability to make good decisions might be the most important aspect of a software architecture practitioner’s job. Every day.every week.every month, you make critical architectural decisions.

Is there any way it’s possible to predict the future so that our architecture can easily absorb the changes we need to make of it? One thing I want you to notice is that good architecture is about more than just defining good boundaries. Events Add Coupling in the Consumer Imagine if events instead of commands were used.

Mapping out your business’s domain landscape has many benefits: knowledge sharing, generating product ideas, providing the foundation for software architecture, aligning on requirements, but a common challenge is… “where do we start?” This information is recorded using a domain event. For example: 3 Month Subscription Purchased.

Techniques like big picture event storming are great for mapping out the business and visualising problems and opportunities, but that’s where progress can easily get stuck. How do you go from event storm to product and organizational improvements? My advice is to use Simon Wardley’s Strategy Cycle as the basis for your narrative.

Rethinking Domain, Software, and Team Boundaries As organizations grow, the structures and practices that helped them to be effective at one scale hinder them at another scale. Moving from a single to multiple products can be one of those situations where architecture starts to get in the way. It’s a sign of both success and ambition.

When your software system communicates with external systems or devices, there is good reason to isolate all communication with the external system into a single place and perform the relevant translation there. It receives commands or events from outside the system in one protocol and translates them into another protocol.
