⚡ This October, Level Up Your Architecture Thinking at JAX London

From October 5–9, 2026, JAX London returns with a packed program of expert sessions, keynotes, and hands-on workshops for developers, architects, and engineering teams building modern software systems. 🦾

As AI changes how we design, scale, and reason about software, engineering teams need more than speed. They need sharper judgment, clearer trade-offs, and practical frameworks for making better technical decisions.

Here are just a few of the keynotes and sessions you can experience at JAX London 2026:

🎤 Keynote: Worth a Million Arguments
Venkat Subramaniam
How do we make better technology decisions when every choice sparks debate — from frameworks and typing styles to performance and architecture?

🤖 Session: Tour of Agent Protocols: MCP, A2A, AG-UI, A2UI
Mete Atamel | Google
A practical deep dive into the emerging protocols shaping interoperable agent systems — including demos with agent frameworks.

⚖️ Session: Trade-Offs Are Everything: Non-functional Requirements for the AI Era
Eoin Woods | Endava
Why system qualities like security, scalability, performance, and resilience matter even more as AI becomes part of software delivery.

🕵️ Session: So, You’ve Been Eaten…
Kees Jan Koster | kjkoster.org
A real-world look at technology due diligence — and how to prepare your tech stack, team, and architecture before someone starts asking difficult questions.

🧩 Agile doesn’t mean skipping architecture

In many software projects, conceptual work is treated as something slow, heavy, or outdated. But the cost of too little planning often shows up later — as rework, unclear decisions, and systems that become harder to change.

In this JAX Magazine article, Matthias Naab and Dominik Rost explain how concept-centered architecture work can support agile development instead of slowing it down.

The article covers:

🏗 Why architecture concepts provide a strong foundation for implementation
⚖️ How to avoid both Big Design Up Front and a conceptual vacuum
🔁 Why continuous architecture work prevents expensive redesigns
📚 How documentation can become useful, focused, and value-adding
🛠 How teams can combine agile practices with solid conceptual thinking

A practical read for software architects, tech leads, senior developers, and agile teams who want to move fast without creating avoidable technical debt.

In agile development projects, there is often skepticism toward classical techniques such as architectural concepts and documentation. Yet insufficient planning can have drastic consequences, such as a great deal of rework and significantly higher costs. In this article, we will show what good archi...

🏗 Doing Software Architecture Continuously — watch how to design just enough, just in time.

In the JAX London Video Library, you can revisit past sessions, workshops, and talks from the conference — including Doing Software Architecture Continuously by Eoin Woods.

This session explores why big-design-up-front doesn’t work — but why having no architecture at all creates just as many problems. Instead, it makes the case for software architecture as a continuous, shared team activity.

You’ll learn:

⚖️ Why both over-engineering upfront and “just winging it” can lead to painful outcomes
🧱 How continuous architecture helps teams balance agility and structure
🔁 How early feedback loops reveal architectural problems before they become expensive
🧭 What practical architecture practices teams can use around principles, decisions, styles, and technical debt
📄 What to produce that is genuinely useful — not just documentation nobody reads

If your team is trying to balance speed, scalability, security, and long-term maintainability, this session offers a practical path forward.

🧭 How much platform does your team actually need?

Platform Engineering can reduce cognitive load, improve governance, and help developers ship faster.

But there’s a fine line between useful abstraction and over-engineered internal platforms that create more complexity than they remove.

In this article, Gabriel Winkler explores how Platform Engineering evolved from the DevOps movement — and how teams can find the right level of platform maturity for their organization.

The article covers:

⚙️ Why DevOps often increased developer cognitive load
🧩 How internal platforms can create useful abstractions
🔐 Why governance and security need to be built into the platform
🚧 How to avoid over-engineering your platform strategy
📊 How teams can evaluate how much platform they really need

A practical read for engineering leaders, platform teams, DevOps engineers, and developers working in cloud-native environments.

Especially in times of economic uncertainty, companies are less willing to take risks and want their investments to pay off quickly. That’s why the key question IT leaders, DevOps teams, and tech leads should ask themselves is: “How much platform do I actually need?” The line between uncontrol...

🚧 How Developer Platforms Fail — watch how to avoid building a franken-platform nobody wants to use.

In the JAX London Video Library, you can revisit past sessions, workshops, and talks from the conference — including How Developer Platforms Fail (And How Yours Won’t) by Russell Miles.

This session gets honest about platform engineering: why some internal developer platforms improve productivity, reduce friction, and scale infrastructure — while others end up abandoned, unloved, or quietly labelled a mistake.

You’ll learn:

📉 Why the Trough of Disillusionment keeps hitting platform engineering initiatives
⚠️ What over-promising looks like in real platform projects
🧠 Which platform engineering myths hold up — and which ones collapse
🏗 What separates a useful developer platform from a franken-platform
🤝 How to build something developers actually want to adopt

If platform engineering is on your roadmap — or already starting to go sideways — this session gives you the clarity to build a platform that actually delivers.

Your team is spending up to half their time fighting code they didn't write, can't fully understand, and are afraid to touch.

Java 8 end-of-support is closer than it looks. And "we'll modernize when we have time" is how companies end up with codebases that have no source code left — just a binary and a prayer.

Emily Jiang, Cloud Native Architect at IBM, tackled this head-on at JAX London.

⚙️ Why OpenRewrite can automate the bulk of your migration — without a single line of manual code change
🤖 Where AI steps in when recipes run out — and what that looks like in a real IDE workflow
☕ How a WebSphere app on Java 8 gets modernized to Liberty on Java 21 — live, in under 10 minutes
🔍 Why your biggest modernization risk isn't the code — it's the institutional knowledge you've already lost

If your team is staring at a Java 8 codebase and waiting for the right moment — this session is the right moment.
