Overview
As software systems grow more complex and demands for agility and scalability increase, architects must rethink how fundamental architecture capabilities are defined, measured, and evolved. With the rise of AI and automation, performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability are no longer just outcomes, they’re dynamic parameters that can be influenced and optimized throughout the lifecycle.
Join us to explore how AI is changing the way architecture capabilities are understood and applied. From architecture as code to AI-powered design and collaboration, this session will examine the tools, techniques, and mindsets that help architects create adaptive, intelligent systems. Gain insights into how you can harness AI to enable smarter decision-making, accelerate iteration, and ensure your systems stay resilient, secure, and aligned with evolving business needs.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- How AI is changing the way architecture capabilities are understood and applied, and what that means for you as an architect
- Why a human-first and AI-next approach to exploring architectural characteristics can be more fruitful, and where you might implement this approach
- What issues are faced by modern AI deployments and how data-driven systems can be protected by both conventional and modern thinking
Recommended follow-up
- Read Architecture as Code (early release book)

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
