In this Review, I discuss recent developments on the long-term dynamical evolution of exoplanet systems, focusing on how distinctive dynamical processes may have shaped the orbital architectures of observed populations. I include three applications that highlight part of my own work. First, I examine the high-eccentricity tidal migration of hot Jupiters from a phase of dynamical instability and subsequent secular interactions in two-planet systems. Second, secular chaos as the origin of ultra-short-period planets with extreme period ratios. Third, secular resonance sweeping driven by a dispersing protoplanetary disk as the origin hot Neptunes residing in polar orbits. Finally, I discuss how upcoming observations will allow further constraining the prevalence of these dynamical processes.
