O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference 2016 - San Francisco, California

Video description

In 2016 (the 25th anniversary of the Agile Manifesto), SACON’s theme was evolution, with the San Francisco edition focused on domain-centric and product architectures. This video compilation captures every session, tutorial, and keynote delivered at this conference, which explored hypothesis-driven development, microservices, reactive architectures, continuous delivery, and how the role of architect has broadened in recent years, encompassing disciplines like DevOps and security. Featuring 61 of the world’s top architects working at companies like ThoughtWorks, Lightbend, Cisco, Google, IBM, Home Depot, Uber, Holub Associates, Orchestrated Systems, Mesosphere, Netflix, Nisum, Visa, and Real Logic, this conference described the state of 2016’s architectural canon and offered a clear-eyed vision of what still needs to be built.

  • 50+ hours of material on the science and art of software architecture from the world’s best experts
  • A complete record of each of the 61 speakers, 42 session, 6 tutorial, and 6 keynotes
  • Features 20+ hours of tutorials on ZeroMQ, Docker, architectural design decision-making, and more
  • Cassandra Shum (ThoughtWorks) on the prerequisites for moving into microservices architecture
  • Luca Mezzalira (DAZN) on next-gen frontend architecture, Reactive, and RxJS
  • Nancy Nunes (Architects Who Code) on the three instruments that produce Agile architecture
  • Michelle Brush (Cerner) on pushing architectural migration when the not doing it costs are hidden
  • Irene Michlin (NCC Group) on a new threat-modeling technique that eases time investments
  • Dean Wampler (Lightbend) on the SMACK stack—Spark, Mesos, Akka, Cassandra, and Kafka
  • Pramod Sadalage (Thoughtworks) on refactoring databases without damaging legacy applications
  • 8 sessions covering microservices, 8 on SA fundamentals, 7 on DevOps, and 2 on security
  • 7 sessions devoted to distributed systems, 6 to integration architecture, and 2 to scale
  • 4 sessions illustrating SA business skills, 2 on reactive, and 1 on optimization
