AYAWA is a mainstay of QCon conferences, bringing together eclectic talks from companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible with software. This year, we're considering the full spectrum of meanings implied by "architecture", not just web-scale distributed systems. From the cloud to the client, we'll be deep diving into the engineering behind architectures that power our physical world, our technological world, our entertainment world and our future world!
