SOA is so passe . . .
I’ve recognized some anti-SOA memes lately. The worm is turning.
Last month, in a meeting to discuss the design of a failing project, managers who had previously touted SOA as good for everything said things like, “SOA is great, but we don’t need all the power; our transactions are so simple, we don’t need SOA.”
So maybe this is the rap that will hang from the SOA dog’s neck. It’s too powerful. Beautiful — can’t blame anybody for using technology that turned out to be too powerful.
Why does working in a place where managers never make mistakes frustrate me so?
