"I think SOA has turned into a semantics-free concept that can join 'components' and 'architecture'. It's beyond saving - so the concrete ideas that do have some substance need to get an independent life." -- Martin Fowler.
The industry only has itself to blame. Trying to convince customers that all the temporally coupled, three tiered architectures they had where, in reality, special cases of a beautiful new over-arching theory called SOA, has backfired.
Now the market thinks the tech. companies are pulling a stunt and they are largely right unfortunately.
I'm with Martin on this. Time to salvage the really useful bits out of the mess. Here are my suggestions:
- The noun/verb inversion in REST
- Temporal decoupling
- A "lets get real" approach to transactions
- Purpose-agnostic data representation
- An awareness that Object-oriented integration does not work in the large even though it works great in the small.
