Scaling Architecture Reviews Across BMW Group’s Orbit Platform

BMW Group’s Orbit platform operates at massive scale, supporting 24.5 million connected vehicles, 450+ Kubernetes clusters, and 1,300 microservices. At this scale, architecture review can no longer remain a purely manual checkpoint; it needs to become a continuous and scalable platform capability. In this session, we will show how ArchIntel enables AI-powered architecture reviews across Orbit by combining platform and cluster insights with architecture guidelines, best practices, and information exposed through MCP-based integrations. ArchIntel helps assess security, reliability, performance, cost optimization, and operational excellence in a consistent way across the platform landscape. Attendees will learn how BMW Group is evolving architecture governance into an AI-assisted, self-service platform capability enabling faster feedback, actionable recommendations, and continuous architectural improvement across hundreds of cloud-native clusters.
