ebizQ has launched an interactive discussion on topics of hot debate within the IT world, and invite you to provide your thoughts. This week, we are debating the question "Is SOA Dead?"
By the way, Dave Linthicum put it this way: "We said the 'Emperor has no clothes,' but we are still willing to work with a naked Emperor." Is SOA truly a naked emperor, or a hard-working but under-dressed public servant?
Some other comments include:
"SOA is definitely at a crossroads, and much like in the era of the early Automobile, when Henry Ford said, "You can have any color automobile, as long as it's black," SOA also needs to adjust, and instead of just representing services to others, SOA as an application has to be much more service friendly for its users. Either that, or it'll end up just like Detroit...dead."
"It seems that something supernatural is going on about SOA - it is proclaimed dead the second time for last 2.5 years. However, it is very much alive - just look at the hundreds of new jobs posted on the Internet recently."
"Okay, if we're not going to do SOA, than back to the basics I say. I think that it may be a better approach to focus on concepts and approaches that are more simplistic in nature, such as data integration, and perhaps use that as a jumping off point to SOA, or SOA like substance in the future."
Is SOA really dead? Let's hear your views on the issue! The latest forum is posted here.
