Martin Fowler on databases in Service Oriented Architecture


    "The recent rise of Service Oriented Architecture seems to mean very different things to different people, but one plausible thread is a rise of autonomous applications with their own Application Database that communicate through service interfaces - effectively replacing shared database integration with rpc or messaging based integration. I'm very sympathetic to this view, particularly favoring integration through messaging - which is why I encouraged the development of EIP[1] In this view of the world the integration database is no longer the default assumption."

Amen.
