Evolutionary Architecture as Product @ CircleCI
Organizations continually evolve their technical architectures in order to adjust to the changing needs of their business. For example: systems must scale with increasing customer demand, tools must create efficiency in growing teams, and implementations are generalized to support additional product features. At CircleCI, we face all of these drivers, but our role in the software delivery pipeline means we have the additional need to adapt to changes in how software is being built.
And the rate of change in software development approaches is like no other.
CircleCI's history has involved constantly adapting our product architecture to match transformations in the world of software development. From the explosive adoption of Docker to the steady rise of microservice architectures, the changing demands of software engineering teams have proven to be deeply coupled with the structure of CircleCI's service–far more than we anticipated when we started the business 8 years ago.
This talk will cover:
- How the evolution of software development since 2011 has driven the evolution of CircleCI's architecture
- Managing the cost of change when customers have the ability to customize almost anything
- Predictions of future trends in software delivery and the architectural approaches we will take to support them
