In the computer architecture community, we have recently taken a number of initiatives to help mentor PhD students, however, we believe that there is a need for more mentoring opportunities and especially for focused mentoring opportunities. Next, we outline what we believe such a workshop should provide its students.

One of the challenges I see regularly is inertia following domain discovery workshops. Another hurdle to decision making is when technology leaders feel that the skills needed to deliver big changes don’t exist within the organization like the lack of DDD, architecture, or cloud skills.

Architecture modernization initiatives are strategic efforts involving many teams, usually for many months or years. An AMET is an architecture Enabling Team that helps to coordinate and upskill all teams and stakeholders involved in a modernization initiative. They need a more loosely coupled architecture and empowered teams.

Domain-Driven Design is an approach to designing systems, usually software, that emphasises creating a common language between domain experts and system builders. Here’s an example I use in talks and workshops: How to group these concepts into domains? Domains are subjective and they are not mutually exclusive.

If you facilitate or attend domain discovery workshops, one of the most effective and simplest ways to uncover insights is to make the scale or size of something explicit. During one workshop, I asked a developer “How often does this go wrong?”. There was an industry expert consultant in the workshop.

There are thousands of ways we can shape the software systems we build and organise our teams around them. Sociotechnical systems are complex systems formed of complex systems. The products themselves are software systems which grow harder and harder to reason about as they scale and age.

The key to loose coupling is to understand how the system you are building is going to change, and minimising the cost of those changes. 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? It could be a microservice or a module within a monolith.

Organisations maximising the advantages provided by microservices tend to be organisations which view microservices not just as a technical tool, but a sociotechnical tool.The way software systems are shaped determines the communication paths and the coupling between development teams.
