We see a paradigm shift in how software is developed: More continuous, more changes per time period, faster interaction with users. But also: Higher levels of criticality with respect to privacy, sec...

1:10 PM

B4: Modernising legacy software systems with the Strangler fig pattern

Daniel Raniz Raneland, Coding architect Factor 10

Do your developers want to throw the existing code in a dumpster, light it on fire and start again from scratch? It might sound tempting, but for several reasons that I will discuss in this talk, re...

About this event

  • Event lasts 8 hours

Twenty years of software development have brought both disruption and stability. Some technologies have reshaped industries overnight, while others have remained steadfast. This year, we focus on the *Paradigms* — the temporary truths of the software industry.

Centralised or federated solutions? Edge computing, on-premises, or cloud? Agile frameworks, empowerment or software craftsmanship?

Should we follow trends or challenge them?

Can we know in advance, or is experimentation the only way? Or are we at the brink of a complete transformation with generative AI?

When technical choices become strategic moves, how do we navigate the landscape?

We are living in extraordinary times, making it more important than ever to come together and share experiences, insights, and opportunities. Innovation is born from debate, and for 20 years, we have built a free and open arena for software developers who share a passion for creating sustainable, exciting, fun, reliable, and trustworthy code.

Join us to listen, network, and shape the future of software development!
