This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2019. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com James Lewis - Software architect and director at Thoughtworks ABSTRACT Recent research summarised in the book Accelerate points to a set of practices that lead to high software development organization performance. Simultaneously, research from the Santa Fe Institute on complex adaptive systems over the last 20 years seems to point to a grand unified theory of organizational design and software architecture. "So have we cracked it? Do we now have the answer to the question: how do we create and scale high performing software and organizations?" In this talk, James explores this research and takes a look at the surprising links between organizations, microservices, elephants and cities. In this talk, you'll learn: • How to create and scale high performing software in organizations • The surprising links between organizations, microservices, elephants and cities RECOMMENDED BOOKS Sam Newman • Monolith to Microservices • https://amzn.to/2Nml96E Sam Newman • Building Microservices • https://amzn.to/3dMPbOs Ronnie Mitra & Irakli Nadareishvili • Microservices: Up and Running• https://amzn.to/3c4HmmL Mitra, Nadareishvili, McLarty & Amundsen • Microservice Architecture • https://amzn.to/3fVNAb0 Chris Richardson • Microservices Patterns • https://amzn.to/2SOnQ7h Adam Bellemare • Building Event-Driven Microservices • https://amzn.to/3yoa7TZ https://bsky.app/profile/gotocon.com https://twitter.com/GOTO
