The current Open edX platform has evolved organically over the last 6 years, now collectively offering about 15 thousand courses to nearly 30 million learners worldwide. This is a commendable feat built upon the edX mission and the enduring support of the Open edX community. Looking toward the coming years and our ambitious goals, our path forward is met with challenges of time-to-value and an impeding intricate monolithic architecture. Therefore, edX is investing in a strategic initiative to rebalance our platform development with Intentional Architectural direction in addition to Emergent Design by autonomous teams. In this talk, we will share our vision of a platform architecture where SOLID design principles reign and our current thoughts on how to get there.
