Immutable Patterns of System Design; From Monolith to Agentic AI

Technology is changing rapidly and it often feels like the skills you learned just a few years ago are becoming obsolete. From simple, single process apps running on-premises, through the cloud revoloution. From monoliths to microservices. Service oriented architecture to event-driven architecture. And now, we have agentic AI. As someone working on modern software, you've got a lot to think about. But really, how much has actually changed? You still need your software to be reliable, performant and to solve a problem for your users. And regardless of what 'style' of system your building, there are some unchanging patterns that are always going to help you. In this talk, you'll learn all about these unchanging patterns of systems design. This isn't an escoteric talk. This is a talk that is going to give you practical patterns of system design that you can take away and use in your business. Whether your working on a 20 year old monolith, working on the cutting edge of agentic AI, or whatever hype train comes next in software development. You'll have the skills to ensure your systems are always reliable, performant and solve real problems.
