Service Oriented Architecture - Slice and Dice
"We have microservices!" they say. But when we sit down and discuss, the question often becomes: "Is it though?”. This talk aims to clarify the distinction between Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices, emphasising that microservices are an implementation style within the broader SOA paradigm.
We will take a step back to explore the foundational concepts of SOA, then dive into microservices, domain APIs, and experience APIs. By understanding these core elements, we can better align architectural approaches with the specific needs of your organisation.
This presentation will delve into the "slicing and dicing" of SOA, offering a comprehensive view of how to assess and implement these architectures effectively.
