In Architecture Modernization: Socio-technical alignment of software, strategy, and structure you'll learn how to:

 

• Identify strategic ambitions and challenges using listening and mapping tours
• Visualize your business landscape and crucial capabilities with Wardley Mapping
• Create a product taxonomy as a framework for your architecture
• Run big picture EventStorming workshops to map business domains
• Apply Team Topologies patterns to identify and refine value streams
• Design loosely coupled, domain-aligned software architectures
• Build internal developer platforms for rapid, reliable evolution
• Implement data mesh principles and tools to revolutionize data engineering
• Deliver compelling modernization roadmaps focused on continuous value

Architecture Modernization: Socio-technical alignment of software, strategy, and structure shows you how to turn the practice of architecting systems into a transformative process for your entire company. Chapter-by-chapter, you'll identify the reasons and benefits of modernization, design an architecture that works for your business, and then implement your new approach in a progressive and sustainable manner. Every technique is illustrated with insightful industry examples and an interactive Miro board that lets you dig deeper.
