Solution architectures often resemble fashion trends. A design that enjoys immense popularity one season may face widespread criticism just a year later. Patterns fall out of favor due for a lot of reasons the worst of which are poor patterns and implementation errors. Today, similar mistakes are popping in modern architectures, needlessly threatening their future. Let’s learn from the past, recognize recurring errors, and remedy then for the future.

In this talk we will look at our architectural history, identifying past unforced errors, and finding ways to implement enduring architectures. It hopes to inform architects, developers, and decision-makers with insights for navigating the ever-evolving enterprise architecture universe.
