Sobre este podcast
We talk to experienced architects and technology leaders about the architectural choices they’ve made — the good, the bad, and the costly. From scaling systems to integrating legacy platforms, from misaligned domains to governance gaps, we discuss how architecture impacts technical debt.
You’ll hear honest stories of architectural missteps, what teams learned from them, and how they built systems designed not just to work, but to last.
