Editor's Notes
Image source: http://www.openclipart.org/image/800px/svg_to_png/halloween_004.png Blog post from Anne Thomas Manes Key takeaways: Shiny new technology will not make things better (WS-* vs REST) successful SOA requires disruption to the status quo SOA needs to be part of something bigger This makes SOA a very hard sell in the current economic situation as there’s hardly place for anything “bigger” “ Obituary: SOA SOA met its demise on January 1, 2009, when it was wiped out by the catastrophic impact of the economic recession. SOA is survived by its offspring: mashups, BPM, SaaS, Cloud Computing, and all other architectural approaches that depend on “services”. […] Business people no longer believe that SOA will deliver spectacular benefits. “SOA” has become a bad word. It must be removed from our vocabulary.
Report from Randy Heffner, Forrester Key takeaways: SOA should be buried inside a larger vision Forrester calls that vision Digital Business Architecture Anne Thomas Manes and Randy Heffner seem to be fairly well aligned here. “ Although many have had fun with the discussion, it is in fact quite misguided. No prior industry initiative for IT architecture has had an impact as positive and broadreaching as service-oriented architecture (SOA). But SOA’s impact is only part of the story: You have many more technology initiatives besides SOA. You need a bigger architectural vision that encompasses SOA, business process management, event processing, Web 2.0, and much more besides. Although SOA is far from dead, it should be buried inside a larger vision. Forrester set the foundation of such a vision in 2005 with Digital Business Architecture.”
