Conference: DevOpsCon San Diego 2026

Date: 1–5 June 2026

Location: San Diego, California

Venue: Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine

I gave a keynote at DevOpsCon San Diego on the move from service-oriented to agent-oriented architecture.

The talk explored how introducing agents changes the design of a software system, what teams can retain from their existing architecture, and where migration creates new challenges. The focus was on understanding the trade-offs before making the shift.

Key takeaways

  • Understand how agent-oriented architecture differs from service-oriented design.
  • Consider the implications for reliability, coordination, and operational visibility.
  • Evaluate migration choices against the needs of the existing system.
