Achieving an Evolutionary Architecture Through Simplicity

Explore a model for achieving evolutionary software architecture through simplicity in this 46-minute Devoxx conference talk. Discover how continuous adaptation to changing user needs and technological innovation can be supported by maintaining architectural simplicity. Learn about key practices such as continuous refactoring, decision-decomposition, and concrete-specific designs. Examine the three enablers of simplicity, user modeling, behavior vs. entities, modularization, and flexibility. Understand the rucksack principle, decision-splitting techniques, persistence strategies, and architecture refactoring. Gain insights into effective features management and leave with a comprehensive summary of how to create adaptable, user-focused software systems.
