Architectural Models & Microservices | Simon Brown and Hannes Lowette In The Engineering Room Ep. 5
0In this episode of "The Engineering Room", Dave Farley talks to Hannes Lowette and Simon Brown. Simon is the creator of the C4 Model and author of "Software Architecture for Developers".
Simon, Hannes and Dave have a wide-ranging discussion about Software Architecture: how to do 'just enough' up-front design; why most teams should NOT do Microservices; learning to be a Software Architect; and, the impact of Modern Software Engineering.
Thanks to GOTO, who recorded this conversation at their Conference in Copenhagen - check out their links below.
The Engineering Room is a series of wide-ranging conversations with thought-leaders from across the software engineering industry, published on the last Sunday of every month.
