Jacqui Read
Author of Communication Patterns
In Jacqui’s talk and masterclass, you’ll untangle the chaos of events in software architecture and learn how to document complex systems with AI-powered diagrams. She’ll break down event-driven patterns, event sourcing, and integration events—clarifying when and why to use each. Then, in her hands-on session, you’ll dive into PlantUML, Mermaid, and Structurizr, using diagrams-as-code to bring clarity to complex systems and explore how LLMs can (and can’t) help.
