## Description

As soon as a codebase grows to a certain point, almost every team struggles to keep that codebase under control. Coding conventions are no longer followed, code reviews become superficial, refactoring doesn't happen as often as it should, and developers lose sight of the original architecture. Fortunately our toolbox contains quite some tools to help you with this, and next to that there are plenty of practices and learnings to help structure your code in  more functional manner.

As my day job is to help development teams get their existing architecture, code bases, deployment pipelines and quality to a higher level, I've accumulated tons of practical tips and tricks to gradually improve all of the above. So join my talk and hear all my secrets first-hand.
