SOA: Old vs Modern Understanding

Term

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) — an architectural style where software components (services) provide functionality to other components over a network via standardized communication protocols.

Old Understanding of SOA (Summary)

• Heavy protocols: SOAP, WSDL, XML-based communication.

• Centralized architecture: Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) as the integration core.

• Monolithic and tightly coupled: Large services sharing centralized databases.

• Slow and complex: Heavy governance, difficult to adapt, on-premises deployment.

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.
