Architecture
Make better architecture decisions under real constraints
Practise turning vague requirements into a defensible design—without defaulting to microservices.
The workshop
Learn it by building it.
An interactive architecture clinic built around one realistic case. You will estimate load, define boundaries, explore failure modes and communicate trade-offs as a senior engineer would in a design review.
You leave with
A reviewed architecture proposal and a reusable design-review canvas.
What you will take away
- A repeatable requirements-to-design process
- Service-boundary and data-ownership heuristics
- Reliability and scaling trade-offs
- Clear architecture communication
A practical agenda
How the session flows.
Frame the problem
Clarify functional needs, quality attributes and constraints.
Sketch the simplest system
Choose data, boundaries and interfaces without premature complexity.
Stress the design
Explore load, failure, consistency and operational scenarios.
Defend and improve
Run a design review and make trade-offs explicit.
Who it is for
Mid-level and senior developers, tech leads
The workshop is deliberately small so questions and direct feedback are part of the day.
What you need
- Experience building production software
- No specific cloud or programming language required
- Bring one architecture question if you have one
Live remote or in person in the Netherlands
