Title: Software Architecture: The Hard Parts

Description

In this episode, Kito, Ian, and Daniel welcome two distinguished guests: Neal Ford (Director, Software Architect, and Meme Wrangler at ThoughtWork) and Mark Richards (Independent Hands-on Software Architect, Published Author). They discuss all things related to software architecture, and their new book, Software Architecture: The Hard Parts. In addition to discussing the origin of the book and their prior book Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach, they talk about distributed architecture, microservices, containers, evolutionary architectures, refactoring databases, the object/relational impedance mismatch, bounded contexts, system contracts, reuse and rate of change, soft skills, data mesh, BFFs, and much more.
