Software Evolution with Microservices and LLMs: A Conversation with Chris Richardson

In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Chris Richardson about using microservices to modernize software applications and the use of artificial intelligence in software architecture. We first discussed the problems of monolithic enterprise software and how to use microservices to evolve them to enable fast flow - the ability to achieve rapid software delivery. The discussion also focused on some of the key problems in accomplishing this. We also discussed how greenfield development fails because you can wait years for your product to be validated in a rapidly changing business environment. Then the discussion focused on the problems using generative artificial intelligence in understanding an existing code base as well as the usefulness of artificial intelligence in architecting systems.
