🏗️ Workshop at Workshop-Tage 2026: Architecture: Creating Architectural Fitness Functions using ArchUnit

How can you make sure that your software architecture is not only planned, but also followed over time? This is exactly what this hands-on workshop by Venkat Subramaniam on Architectural Fitness Functions with ArchUnit is all about. 🔍 In this workshop, you will learn about different fitness functions that help architects and teams assess the architectural soundness of their systems. You will then implement these rules as practical guardrails using ArchUnit and receive continuous feedback on whether your architectural expectations are being met.

📅 Tuesday, September 8,
from 🕘 9:00 AM
🌍 Workshop language: English

We just published *Cutting Your Events the Right Way*, the first part of a two-part series on event design.

It takes the same customer data, models it as one big event and as several small ones, and works out when each cut is the right call.

AI agents can recreate the old rockstar developer problem: impressive code that only one mind can explain.

The fix is shared design, local repo rules, small diffs, tests, and review that asks whether the change belongs.

Been playing with different AI agent orchestration patterns. Event-driven vs scheduled polling — each has clear tradeoffs.

Event-driven: lower latency, complex state
Polling: simpler, wastes resources

What's your experience? What patterns work best for multi-agent systems?

Agents do not need RAG or vector databases for most real world work. They need structure and semantics.

Agent Knowledge Graphs turn mixed repositories of code, docs, configs, and PDFs into a connected model that agents can reason over. This often replaces entire retrieval pipelines.

Saw an article starting with:

"If you run anything in the cloud, your teams are already using AI: ChatGPT plugins, Copilot in integrated development environments (IDEs), a LangChain proof of concept that somehow became part of a customer journey, a weekend assistant that was never meant to last but did."

Really? Has it gotten that much out of hand that people don't know anymore where they shipped some AI stuff? Or is this just BS?

“The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.” – B. F. Skinner

New tools, AI included, can accelerate development, but they do not replace critical thinking. Architecture decisions, risk assessment, and system design still require human judgment. Better tools make thinking more important, not less.

💬 How do you ensure that convenience does not replace understanding?

Target built a new GenAI system to overhaul marketing campaign forecasting by retrieving and ranking similar historical campaigns.

Instead of relying on rule-based workflows, it uses embeddings, vector search, and LLM-based ranking to identify the most relevant past campaigns.

Event-driven architecture promises scalability, but the real tradeoffs in Java-based real-time systems only show up in production.

Drawing on a Java/Kafka contact center platform handling 80k BHCC across 10k agents, Sagar Deepak Joshi's new #InfoQ article explores exactly where things break down:
🔹 State management & partition limits
🔹 Message deduplication
🔹 JVM tuning challenges
🔹 Cascading consumer failures

Discover the Redis-backed patterns used to solve them and keep the system resilient.

Most issues with coding harnesses aren’t about capability—they’re about structure.

A useful framing:
• Instructions = intent (what should be done)
• Skills = capabilities (what can be done)
• Agents = orchestration (how it’s done)
• Hooks = control points (where you intervene)

Keep these concerns separate, and harnesses become easier to reason about, extend, and debug. Mix them, and complexity compounds fast.

Not every pattern improves a system. A design pattern applied without understanding often adds more complexity than value. The best pattern is the one that solves a real problem and disappears into the background.

Imagine inventing something, watching it become an industry standard, and then spending decades apologizing for it.

That's exactly what computing pioneer Sir Tony Hoare did in his legendary talk, "Null References: The Billion-Dollar Mistake”.

As part of the #InfoQ20 campaign, we're revisiting this classic archive video - a must-watch for every software practitioner. It's a powerful lesson in how a seemingly small design decision can shape the entire software industry for decades.

🔌 Don’t migrate every dependency directly.

In ASP.NET Core migrations, ports work best when they describe application needs, not library APIs.

- Wrap SmtpClient behind IEmailSender.
- Move dictionary token storage behind IUserTokenStore.
- Swap adapters when the infrastructure is ready.

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” – Albert Einstein

Memorizing frameworks, APIs, or design patterns is useful, but understanding the underlying principles creates lasting value. Engineers who understand trade-offs can adapt when technologies change. Knowledge ages; understanding scales.

💬 Where has understanding fundamentals helped you more than specific tools?

As part of #InfoQ20, we’ve been revisiting the ideas that shaped modern software architecture.

It’s no surprise that 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲’𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟏 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 “𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲” remains the #𝟏 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐐 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.

💡 Core idea that still resonates:
⇨ Simple is often mistaken for easy.
⇨ “Easy” means familiar or at hand.
⇨ “Simple” is the opposite of complex - i.e., intertwined or tied together.

𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 ≠ 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲❗
