Technical Archaeology: Unearthing Antipatterns in Modern Distributed Technology stacks

Sarah Saunders is a Senior Developer within the Application Development & Integration delivery unit at Capgemini, specialising in the use of leading edge technology, and Agile delivery processes to develop effective solutions to business problems. Sarah has over 15 years’ experience developing applications across multiple technology stacks. She has seen distributed web architectures evolve from stored procedures called by servlets returning HTTP strings, to AngularJS and RESTful JSON with NoSQL data sources. She is a self-proclaimed AgileEvangelist, and holds a First Class (H) degree in Computer Science.

"Get out your khakis and your shovels, we will be digging down through a typical modern distributed architecture stack to uncover the bones of antipatterns buried within! With one eye on the history of technical architecture and one eye on the technologies of the present, we will review how some of the patterns we ingrain in our architectures are in fact the dinosaurs in our midst."
