Architects Unite: Forkwell Library #121
On March 13, 2026, the 121st event of the Forkwell Library series will spotlight engineers from Three Shake who will discuss the critical topic of architecture modernization. With a growing need for developers to stay updated in an ever-evolving tech landscape, this event promises to be an invaluable resource for those navigating the complexities of modern software architecture.
Event Overview
This event aims to provide a learning environment where developers can gain insights and knowledge. The Forkwell Library series encourages attendees to discover new perspectives and approaches from experts in the field. It serves as a platform for sharing experiences and sharing knowledge that is grounded in previous expert-led discussions.
Focus of Forkwell Library #121
The theme for this specific session is drawn from the book
Architectural Modernization: Designing the Future of Organizations and Business. In a world where legacy systems become bloated and documentation no longer serves its purpose, developers face significant risks with each modification. These challenges extend beyond simple code improvements. This event will offer a comprehensive approach to modernizing systems, featuring a keynote lecture from Keita Sato, the book's translator.
Key Topics to Be Discussed
Keita Sato will delve into the essential elements of the book, which emphasizes the integration of three core components: technology (Domain-Driven Design and loose coupling), organization (team topology), and strategy (wardley mapping), all aimed at maximizing business value. Such topics as managing technical debt and assessing organizational structures for potential bottlenecks will be highlighted, providing both engineers and leaders with actionable insights.
Join fellow engineers and leaders who strive to enhance sustainable development frameworks and step forward into proactive modernization strategies. Furthermore, the session will include a live Q&A, allowing participants to directly engage with the speaker, encouraging real-time interaction and discussion.

Book Overview
Architectural Modernization: Designing the Future of Organizations and Business
This book tackles the pressing issue of tangled legacy systems and ineffective documentation that introduces risk during modifications. Rather than just focusing on code refactoring, it offers a well-rounded approach by merging renowned methodologies like Domain-Driven Design (DDD), team topology, and wardley mapping. Fostering a clear vision for modernizing systems requires understanding the integration of technology, organization, and strategy.
Who Should Attend?
- - Engineers facing critical technical challenges and legacy system issues
- - Development leaders and architects involved in system design and enhancement decisions
- - Managers and executives interested in linking business value with technical judgments
