This time from a Microsoft Envagelist.

“Seeing that SOA has been one of the most visible and widely talked about technology initiatives of the past decade, the fact that it has been pronounced “dead” would seem to require an autopsy to determine the cause of death and discover any foul play that might have been involved in its untimely demise.”

(Denny Boynton)

 

IT Architecture starts looking like a global financial system that are still in the process of melting down. The derivative and investment guys didn’t know what they were doing. They made money, plenty of it, but only based on a scam like scheme where it only works when everybody buys into the bullshit; it works for a while and the high priests of finance look really good. Then things turns south and it is evident that these wizards got no clue on what’s going on.

Well, it seems like SOA preached by the architectural astronaut has been swimming naked, then drowned and found dead. Sigh. Wrong turn. Go take a REST and pick up the way of the web.
