AWS Summit 2019: Organic Architecture: Keep your Business Agile while Deploying Hundreds of Microservices on AWS by Tobias Kunze, Glasnostic & Christoph Kassen, AWS

As engineering organizations respond to business demands with increasingly decoupled development, architects are faced with an organically growing mesh of applications that defies big design up front. While such organic architecture affords a great deal of agility, it is also prone to complex emerging behaviors that must be brought under control. In this talk, we present real-world examples of organic architecture from the domains of connected cars, information security, and IT modernization. We discuss the particular architectural challenges of each, AWS technologies such as ECS and EKS used to solve them and demonstrate the essential operational abilities needed to tie everything together. Attendees will learn how to adopt an organic architectural style while remaining in control of its complex behaviors.
