Learn how target architecture serves as a critical leadership tool for engineering teams through this 14-minute conference talk from LeadDev Berlin 2025. Discover why having a clear target architecture can transform team collaboration, execution, and scaling capabilities, moving beyond technical documentation to become a strategic asset. Explore real-world insights from founding engineer experience in building Pleo's Cash Flow domain, including both successful implementations and lessons learned from failures in designing and evolving large backend ecosystems. Understand how well-defined target architecture supports better decision-making processes, enhances cross-team collaboration, increases operational efficiency, and enables teams to move faster while building systems that scale effectively. Gain practical knowledge about preventing systems from growing without direction and learn to leverage target architecture as a framework for aligning engineering efforts with business objectives.
