Software Architecture Kata

Ready to hand over the code entirely to AI agents and just focus on system design? So are we.
Until we need to debug whatever hallucinated dependency the agent snuck into production, let's do an Architecture Kata.

What is an Architecture Kata?
An Architecture Kata is a structured group exercise where we tackle realistic design problems as peers by sketching, questioning, and iterating out loud. No single "right" answer. Just engineers working towards a solution together.

How we'll spend the evening

• Scenario Drop (15 min): We introduce a concrete business situation.
• Small Group Sketching (60 min): Break into groups of 3-5. Draw, argue, change your mind, start over. The goal isn't a perfect diagram, but the rationale behind it.
• Walkthrough & Peer Review (30 min): Groups share where they landed. The rest of us ask "what if?" and "have you considered?" We learn from each other's blind spots.

Who This Is For

• Engineers who want to practice designing out loud
• Anyone with interest/experience in software architecture

(Optional) Your laptop, though markers and whiteboards do most of the work

Sponsors
Our sponsors for this meetup are Yodeck - who are not only kindly providing the venue, free of charge, but who will also treat us to some snacks / drinks for the networking session after the meetup!
