Implementing Evolutionary Architecture and CI/CD Adaptations with Maik
Join us as we explore evolutionary architecture in software development with Maik Wiesmüller. Learn how this approach helps in delaying crucial decisions to pivot directions seamlessly. We discuss the adaptation of CI/CD pipelines, serverless first applications, and transitioning to containerized workloads. Maik shares valuable insights from his extensive freelancing experience, emphasizing the importance of simplicity, team capabilities, and iterative architecture. Our session includes a detailed examination of Maik's real-world example project, showcasing how to start with a monolithic Lambda setup and strategically evolve it into a more scalable, containerized solution. Understand the essential concepts of one-way vs. two-way doors, and discover practical tips for maintaining an adaptable pipeline across different CI/CD tools.
