10 ways SOA is like a Thanksgiving meal
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2611547/6276287
[Michael Meehan]
It's that time of year where people dust off old chestnuts, revive
traditions and take a wistful look back. This is something we ran in
2005 as part of a newsletter, but it never had an official home in
cyberspace. It only seems fitting that we rectify that situation.
Information technology is a serious business, certainly it's one we
take seriously. Even with a major national holiday looming this
Thursday we'll keep bringing you the latest in SOA, Web services and
integration news.
Yet, let's face it, you probably aren't going to be making that
enterprise-altering decision this week or going live with your latest
architectural achievement. Too many people will be skipping out early
and trying to beat the traffic, with gravy-covered visions dancing in
their heads.
We at SearchSOA.com recognize that. This isn't the week you're going
to change the world. Rather it's a week to reflect on what you've
been doing and what projects will soon be on your plate. With that in
mind, here's our top 10 reasons why service-oriented architecture is
like a Thanksgiving meal:
1. Like a Thanksgiving meal, it takes a lot of work to put together
an SOA ... and no one wants to clean up the associated mess that
comes with it.
2. Reuse, the next round of Web services you build are the IT
equivalent of next week's turkey sandwiches and soups. You should be
getting a lot of meals out of this feast.
3. Unless you find a way to spice it up or make it savory, SOA can be
dry and a lot of people around the table may quickly lose interest.
Also, like a big turkey meal, too much SOA can put you to sleep.
4. An SOA project can bring together a lot of people you rarely see.
In fact, you probably aren't sure you want to see some of them.
5. SOA can give rise to lots of interesting combinations, kind of
like turducken (a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a
turkey).
6. Everyone offers up advice on how to cook up an SOA, but they
always leave you with the distinct feeling that they aren't so sure
these tips actually work.
7. Standards, on Thanksgiving the standards are turkey, mashed
potatoes, gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce. In SOA it's WS-*
specifications and communication protocols.
8. You can undertake lots of small projects while you've got your SOA
bird in the oven.
9. It takes a solid network and good communication to move all the
food around a Thanksgiving table so that everyone gets to pick
exactly what they want. In many ways, it's a service-oriented meal
dependent on a loosely-coupled infrastructure.
10. Screw up your SOA and you'll never hear the end of it.
