In a world buzzing with talk of microservices and Kubernetes, it’s easy to assume your project needs all the latest bells and whistles right from the start. But sometimes, you simply don’t—at least not yet. In this session, we’ll apply the “You Ain’t Gonna Need It” (YAGNI) principle to cut through the hype and focus on what your project really requires today. Instead of plunging into complex architectures prematurely, we’ll explore how an evolutionary approach can guide you toward simpler solutions that grow and adapt as your needs mature. Join me for a candid conversation about sidestepping unnecessary complexity, recognizing when (and if) the fancy stuff truly adds value, and setting the stage for long-term success—without overengineering from day one.
