Title
Architecture and its importance in today’s projects

Description
This talk highlights the essential role of software architecture in successful projects. It opens with an overview of the speaker’s experience in both engineering-driven and fast-paced delivery environments, emphasizing how architecture directly impacts project outcomes. Key principles like SOLID and core architectural patterns—including layered architecture, microservices, and event-driven design—are introduced to show how they support modular, resilient software. Brief comparisons of clean, hexagonal, and onion architectures provide a high-level overview of how these approaches can be applied together in different contexts. Altogether, this talk demonstrates why strong architecture is crucial for building scalable, maintainable software solutions.
