How to Specify Architecture to Agents (and Humans): Architecture as Code
Pre-conference workshops have limited capacity and are sold separately from conference tickets.
Transform the way you approach software architecture in this hands-on course that redefines architecture as code. Learn how to ensure alignment between design, implementation, and business objectives using fitness function-driven architecture, allowing developers to build concrete guard rails for agents and humans. By exploring intersections with implementation, data topologies, infrastructure, engineering practices, team dynamics, and even generative AI, participants will master the art of defining and governing architectural elements through tests and automated verification. Packed with coding exercises, this workshop empowers architects and developers to create resilient, adaptable systems while ensuring continuous alignment with technical and business environments. Ideal for architects, aspiring architects, and developers working in complex systems, this course is your next step in mastering architecture governance.
