Week In Review: SOA, Scalability, Twitterpated<http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/netzooid/~3/514572195/>
by Dan Diephouse ... SOA Is it dead? How can something be dead when I wasn't sure what it was to begin with? I would prefer to kill the term. I would group part of what people refer to as SOA as systems design. Thinking about a problem wholistically. This is just part of good software engineering. For instance, the guy who has 6 services which do the same things for different parts of the company. Investing to consolidate these services will pay off. Investment and return. ROI. Why do we need to call this SOA? Also, you cannot separate this from the technology. How am I going to achieve a shared service which needs to be monstrously scalable? The outcome of this decision probably has big effects on your process. I especially love the insight that you cannot separate service design from technology. -- Nick Gall Phone: +1.781.608.5871 AOL IM: Nicholas Gall Yahoo IM: nick_gall_1117 MSN IM: (same as email) Google Talk: (same as email) Email: nick.gall AT-SIGN gmail DOT com Weblog: http://ironick.typepad.com/ironick/
