02 / PRESENTATIONS AT ARCHCONF'26
Wed Dec 9 · 11:00 AM PINOT
Architectural Patterns Focus: Data

This session will focus on data governance and making data available within your enterprise. Who owns the data, how do we obtain the data, and what does governance look like?

Tue Dec 8 · 5:00 PM EVENT SOURCING
Architectural Patterns Focus: EventDriven Architecture & Messaging

Join us for an indepth exploration of cuttingedge messaging styles in your large domain.

Wed Dec 9 · 9:00 AM TRANSACTIONS
Architectural Patterns Focus: Transactions

We take a look at another facet of architectural design, and that is how we develop and maintain transactions in architecture. Here we will discuss some common patterns for transactions

Tue Dec 8 · 10:30 AM
DataMesh and Open Metadata

Data Mesh rethinks data architecture in organizations by treating data as a product, owned and operated by bounded context teams rather than centralized platforms. This way, data owners can describe, enrich, and prove data sources to prevent any malicious poisoning.

Mon Dec 7 · 9:00 AM EDA
Event Driven Architecture

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design principle in which the flow of a system’s operations is driven by the occurrence of events instead of direct communication between services or components. There are many reasons why EDA is a standard architecture for many moderate to large companies. It offers a history of events with the ability to rewind the ability to perform real-time data processing in a scalable and fault-tolerant way. It provides real-time extract-transform-load (ETL) capabilities to have near-instantaneous processing. EDA can be used with microservice architectures as the communication channel or any other architecture. In this workshop, we will discuss the prevalent principles regarding EDA, and you will gain hands-on experience performing and running standard techniques.

Tue Dec 8 · 1:00 PM ARCHITECTURE
Hexagonal Architecture

This workshop will explore the principles of the Ports and Adapters pattern (also called the Hexagonal Architecture) and demonstrate how to refactor legacy code or design new systems using this approach. You’ll learn how to organize your domain logic and move UI and infrastructure code into appropriate places within the architecture. The session will also cover practical refactoring techniques using IntelliJ and how to apply Domain Driven Design (DDD) principles to ensure your system is scalable, maintainable, and well-structured.

Tue Dec 8 · 3:00 PM ARCHITECTURE

Tue Dec 8 · 8:30 AM ARCHITECTURE
Identity, Tokens, and Access Control

Authentication and authorization are foundational concerns in modern systems, yet they’re often treated as afterthoughts or re-implemented inconsistently across services. In this talk, we’ll explore Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management system, and how it fits into modern application architectures. We’ll break down what Keycloak actually does (and what it doesn’t), explain the role of JWTs and OAuth2/OpenID Connect, and examine how identity, trust, and access control are handled across distributed systems. We’ll also compare Keycloak to secret management systems like Vault, clarify common misconceptions, and walk through integrations you will need with Spring, Quarkus, and other frameworks By the end, you’ll understand when Keycloak is the right tool, how to integrate it cleanly, and how to avoid the most common architectural mistakes.

All signal.
Zero fluff.
