We’re delighted to announce an exciting Software Crafters Cambridge “Architecture Kata” held during Cambridge Tech Week!
Join us at the Bradfield Centre on 15th September from 6:30pm for this session and get the chance to flex your architectural design muscles – with an AI flavour!
“So how are we supposed to get great architects, if they only get the chance to architect fewer than a half-dozen times in their career?” — Ted Neward.
This quote highlights the need for practice, which is what our architecture katas provide: a safe, repeatable way to hone your software architecture design skills by simulating architectural challenges.
What’s the format?
You’ll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You’ll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context. As with real-life you’ll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.
At the end of the task each team will showcase their architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion.
Whether you’re a seasoned coder, software architect, AI engineer or new to the scene, you’re invited to share insights, discuss best practices, and learn from fellow participants.
No prior session attendance or architecture knowledge is required – just bring your enthusiasm. No laptop is required for this session, we’ll provide each group with paper, pens and sticky notes to support the activity.
Thank you to Codurance for sponsoring the community and providing the food and drinks, and to The Bradfield Centre for providing the venue.
Food and drinks will be provided with vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options available
Want to bring a friend? Great! Just ask them to RSVP so we know they are coming.
