"The track addresses the ongoing requirement to manage connections within complex, distributed systems at the networking and architecture levels. Bryant emphasizes that while new technologies such as AI-driven agents are increasing the volume of system connections, the engineering focus must remain on architectural fundamentals. "All too often, we get excited about the latest technologies when we really should focus on things like good API design, cohesion, coupling, and the single responsibility principle," Bryant stated."
"QCon London 2026, the international software development conference, will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre (QEII) from March 16-18, 2026, followed by a half-day workshop for the InfoQ Certified Software Architect certification on March 19. The 2026 program features 15 curated tracks led by senior software practitioners. Among these are two tracks focused on the technical requirements for modern system integration and the operationalization of large language models (LLMs)."
QCon London 2026 will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre from March 16–18, 2026, followed by a half-day InfoQ Certified Software Architect workshop on March 19. The program features 15 curated tracks led by senior practitioners, including two tracks centered on system integration and LLM operationalization. The Connecting Systems track addresses managing connections in complex distributed systems, emphasizing API design, cohesion, coupling, single responsibility, networking strategies, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and observability for diagnosing failures. The AI Engineering track focuses on practices to build and maintain production-ready machine learning and enterprise reliability for LLMs.
