James Lewis
Technical Director
Thoughtworks
James is a Software Architect and Director at ThoughtWorks based in the UK. He’s proud to have been a part of Thoughtworks’ journey for over fifteen years and its ongoing mission of delivering technical excellence for its clients and in amplifying positive social change for an equitable future. As a member of the Thoughtworks Technical Advisory Board, the group that creates the Technology Radar, he contributes to industry adoption of open source and other tools, techniques, platforms, and languages.
He is an internationally recognised expert on software architecture and design and on its intersection with organisational design and lean product development. As such he’s been a guest editor for IEEE Software, written articles, delivered training, and spoken at more conferences than he can remember.
James defined the new Microservices architectural style back in 2014 along with Martin Fowler. Currently, the Microservices industry is worth in excess of $20 billion annually. James’ primary consulting focus these days is on helping organisations with technology strategy, distributed systems design and adoption of SOA. He freely admits that it’s only by standing on the shoulders of giants that he’s been able to make the contributions to the industry that he has.

Software Architecture, Team Topologies and Complexity Science
Featuring James Lewis
Research from the Santa Fe institute on Complex Adaptive Systems over the last 20 years seems to point to a grand unified theory of organisational design. So have we cracked it? Do we now have the answer to the question: how do we create and scale high performing software and organisations?

Betting On Performance: A Note on Hypothesis Driven Performance Testing
Featuring James Lewis
We often think of performance testing as one of those things we just have to do at the end of a project, often using heavyweight tool sets in dedicated environments.

Microservices - choices and challenges
Featuring James Lewis
When should you use microservices? Netflix started to evangelise the approach some time ago and in January, Martin Fowler and myself published an article on the topic covering our thinking and experiences the last few years. It has rapidly become one of the most talked about techniques on the...
