According to CNN Money/PayScale, software architect is the No. 1 job in America due to “big growth, great pay and satisfying work.” Add in new techniques and trends like microservices, reactive, and containerization and I think we can all agree, it’s a good time to be involved in software architecture.
Our upcoming software architecture conference focuses on the skills needed for all of those individuals working in and around software architecture, not just those with the official job title of “software architect.” And those skills are many! So, regardless of your title—solutions architect, developer, team lead, or devops engineer—be sure check out the paths you can take through the conference April 10-13 in New York City. I hope to see you there!

Welcome to management—and decision making
If you are involved in the larger development and design of your company’s software architecture then you are probably making decisions, and lots of them. You’re bombarded by questions like: Which framework should you use? Should you scrap what you currently use and move to microservices? The following sessions will touch upon specific choices as well as ways of thinking through all of the decisions.

Is transitioning to microservices the right move?
The option of having a software architecture that is fluid, responsive, and portable is now possible, but is it right for your company? Microservices might be the answer, but there are also times when a traditional monolithic architecture is still the best choice. Learn more about microservices, so you can decide when—and if—to make the switch.

Creating resilient, robust, and reliable software architecture
If your architecture needs to scale, process tons of data, and service an ongoing influx of consumers, then you should be looking at reactive design and development of your architecture. Event-driven architecture needs to turn on a dime—these sessions will give you insight into this technique.
