You can't avoid essential complexity when creating architecture. What you can avoid, though, is accidental complexity. During this talk, I'll show you how to align architecture with strategic DDD to focus on what truly matters. No time wasted on technological bikeshedding. You'll see the full journey of a business-oriented architect, starting with product vision and business goals, and ending with high-level architectural boundaries expressed in code as an architectural meta-model.

You'll discover the value of making your architecture domain-driven and expressing it as code. You'll learn how to compare architectures using metrics, verify alignment between architecture and application, and clearly represent business processes and personas. You'll also see how to generate diagrams tailored to any audience or purpose. And the best part? Once the domain-driven meta-model is in place, all of this becomes almost effortless.
