Their journey offers valuable lessons for IT leaders seeking scalable and efficient architecture solutions. This story may sound familiar to many IT leaders: the business grows, but legacy IT architecture cant keep up limiting innovation and speed. Domain-Driven Design gurus could see good old bounded contexts here.

The rise of platform engineering Over the years, the process of software development has changed a lot. Initially, our industry relied on monolithic architectures, where the entire application was a single, simple, cohesive unit. On top of that, a single bug in the software could take down an entire system.

Suboptimal integration strategies are partly to blame, and on top of this, companies often don’t have security architecture that can handle both people and AI agents working on IT systems. Or, in some cases, companies have platforms that were built with human interactions in mind and aren’t ideal today for many gen AI implementations.
