SPEAKING
Conference: FOST Toronto 2026

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Venue: Kitchener room
I spoke at FOST Toronto about the transition from service-oriented to agent-oriented architecture. The session was part of the Architecture for AI track.
The talk explored what changes when agents become part of a software architecture, what teams can retain from their existing systems, and the trade-offs to consider when planning a migration.
Key takeaways
- Understand the differences between service-oriented and agent-oriented architecture.
- Assess how introducing agents affects coordination, reliability, and operational visibility.
- Consider migration choices in the context of existing systems and business needs.
