Over the past year or so there has been a huge increase in the amount of discussion about Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and the number of blogs and posts on the subject seems to increase daily.
So with over 25 million references to SOA discovered by Google, why bother writing another SOA blog post?
Much of the discussion amongst the SOA community is interesting to other technophiles, but only serves to confuse the majority of readers. Bloggers like Mike Kavis try to bring the focus of SOA back to a business perspective, but the vast majority of articles concentrate on the technology debate.
In recent weeks the rise of a lightweight version of SOA, termed Web Oriented Architecture (WOA), has had the techno-bloggers tapping away at their keyboards. OnStrategies gives us a quick digest of some of the highlights.
Rather than join the technology debate about SOA we’ll take a step back and explain simply how it works, how it can be used and, with the use of a real-world example, describe why a properly planned and implemented Service Oriented Architecture can create a flexible way of aligning business and IT.
