We’ll explore the characteristics of each and how different architectural styles support various technical, organizational, and operational goals. Most organizations don’t choose just one path—architectures evolve, and combinations often coexist. The Spring portfolio offers powerful support across this spectrum. We’ll go through an example of the evolution of an application, showing how the Spring portfolio supports structure within a modular monolith and enables a smooth transition to microservices. Whether you’re scaling a small team or managing a complex system, this session will equip you to make thoughtful, needs-driven architectural decisions.About Glenn Renfro:Glenn Renfro is a VMware engineer, Java Champion, and core committer for Spring Cloud Task, Spring Batch, and Spring Cloud Data Flow.
