If this made you rethink where microservices actually went wrong, you have probably operated them in anger. Failure handling came late. State leaked everywhere. Concurrency was bolted on, not designed in. Resilience became a framework problem instead of a runtime property. What you are hearing here is a practitioner insight: many of the problems we struggle with in microservices were already solved in ecosystems that treated concurrency, isolation, and fault tolerance as defaults, not add-ons. Erlang did not make these concerns optional. It forced them into the model. This only speaks to you if you have built services that looked clean until they failed, then discovered how much behaviour lived outside the code. Teams that operate real systems learn that architecture inherits the assumptions of its platform, whether you acknowledge them or not. This moment is from a session by James Lewis at the developersummit 2025. GIDS is a place for honest conversations about what we could have learned earlier, and what trade-offs still matter now.

Reality inside most enterprises looks different. Critical workflows still depend on systems that were never designed for modern integration. Some live on premises. Others expose limited interfaces. A few only work through the user interface. Engineering teams often spend more time stitching systems together than building the workflow itself. The challenge is not automation. The challenge is continuity across the stack. At GIDS 2026, Rudhra Veena examines how organizations approach this problem in practice through Zoho Flow and RPA. The conversation focuses on connecting modern services and legacy systems into a coherent automation approach. This session will resonate with engineers and architects responsible for integration, platform reliability, and enterprise automation. https://lnkd.in/gG5YC2Xp Zoho Sherlly Jayaraj GIDS 2026 | April 21–24 | Bengaluru, India | In-person

When building AI systems, teams make a quiet architectural choice: Do we keep adding model capability, or do we improve the meaning of the data those models consume? Context, semantics, and interoperability determine whether AI systems can reason reliably across domains and time. Data Architecture for AI examines how semantic data design changes what AI systems can understand, connect, and trust. This session by Michael Carducci explores practical approaches to modeling meaning so that intelligence emerges from the data itself, not just from larger models. A thoughtful session for architects and leaders shaping long-lived AI platforms. https://lnkd.in/g2K-Vhaf GIDS 2026 | April 21–24 | Bengaluru, India | In-person

As AI enters product delivery, teams face a defining choice: Do developers follow instructions, or do they define the system that generates them? When design becomes structured input, the real leverage shifts to those who understand architecture, semantics, and policy. Delivery becomes less about assembly and more about judgment. The Digital Workflow is Obsolete focuses on how developers can lead in this new model by defining patterns, constraints, and platforms that AI systems rely on. This session by Robin Cannon looks at collaboration with AI orchestration systems as a leadership challenge, not a threat. A thoughtful session for developers and architects shaping the future of how software gets built. https://lnkd.in/gEkzfG-R GIDS 2026 | April 21–24 | Bengaluru, India | In-person

Tesco Technology is proud to be part of this year’s GIDS. As we continue to evolve our retail technology stack, engaging with the broader developer ecosystem is key.

If this made you think about people before diagrams, you have probably tried to make architecture stick. Architecture does not fail on paper. It fails at the seams between teams. Between incentives and ownership. Between decisions and consequences. What you are hearing here is a practitioner insight: architecture only works when it is embedded in how teams plan, build, deploy, and operate. In isolation, it becomes a document. In context, it becomes a constraint system that guides real decisions. This only lands if you have watched well-designed architectures erode under delivery pressure, or seen modest designs succeed because they aligned with team structure and accountability. People who operate real systems learn that architecture is a social contract as much as a technical one. This moment is from a session by Mark Richards at the developersummit Summit 2025. GIDS is a place for depth and honest trade-offs, where architecture is discussed as part of the system, not apart from it. GIDS 2026 continues this conversation, April 21-24, #Bengaluru Same depth.

If this clip made you reflect on how you actually learned your craft, you have probably outgrown formal ladders. Career growth does not come from titles alone. It comes from proximity to judgment. From learning by doing, with feedback. From responsibility that arrives before certainty. What you are hearing here is a hard-earned insight: the Gurukul model works because it embeds learning inside real work. Mentorship is not an add-on. It is continuous exposure to decisions, trade-offs, and accountability that no course or framework can replace. This only lands if you have felt the gap between promotion checklists and real capability. People who have built systems and teams know that mastery is transmitted through practice, context, and trust, not credentials. This moment is from a session at the developersummit 2025. GIDS creates space for conversations about growth that focus on substance over signals, and learning over optics. GIDS 2026 continues this conversation, April 21-24, #Bengaluru Same depth.

Most production outages do not start where the alert fires. The alert simply marks the point where the system can no longer hide the problem. In microservice environments, the real cause often lives several hops away in a dependency chain that no single dashboard shows clearly. Teams search logs, trace spans, and scan metrics. Hours pass. The system remains difficult to reason about because the relationships between services are scattered across tools. Ganesh D. explores a different way of thinking about system behavior at GIDS 2026. His session examines how graph thinking and AI reasoning can help engineers understand how services interact when things begin to fail. This session will resonate with engineers, architects, and reliability teams responsible for complex distributed systems.

As AI enters the development workflow, teams face a quiet but critical decision: Do we treat AI generated code as an output, or as a shared responsibility? Without clear ownership models, testing expectations, and architectural boundaries, speed increases while confidence erodes. Who Owns the Code That AI Writes? focuses on designing collaborative workflows where AI assists delivery without weakening accountability. Keren Fanan examines practical frameworks and team practices that help balance speed, quality, and governance as roles evolve. A thoughtful session for engineering leaders, architects, and product teams navigating this shift. https://lnkd.in/gcUE9Ehy GIDS 2026 | April 21–24 | Bengaluru, India | In-person
