Technology evolves. \u00a0Processes evolve. \u00a0Thinking evolves.<\/p>\n

Software architecture is no different. \u00a0In a recent speech at the O’Reilly Software Architecture conference<\/a>, Mark Richards<\/a> described the ingredients that\u00a0current architects need to design\u00a0new foundations to enable competitive advantage. The answer isn’t necessarily things like big data, analytics, python and R.<\/p>\n

Richards says that the ingredients<\/a> that architects need to mix into their “evolutionary cauldron” or architectural design are agility<\/em>, velicity<\/em> and modularity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Processes and workflows are demanding that software work ever faster. \u00a0Everyone is in a rush to get answers. To support that need, architectures are adopting distributed systems, machine to machine communications, microservices and applications like the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n

But it’s not just a matter of adopting the latest trend in technology. Richards says that much of the focus of\u00a0software architecture is misplaced. \u00a0There is too much stressing about keeping up with the latest technologies, languages and platforms. \u00a0Richards said that<\/a>\u00a0“I\u2019m calling you to stop spending effort and time on predictive analysis. Stop thinking about where the business will be in three years; it\u2019s moving too fast. Rather, refocus those energies on doing a better job on integrating data and functionality. This is the future of software architecture.”<\/p>\n
