Feed Description: I am a software simplist. I make this beast of architecting, analysing, designing, developing, testing, managing, deploying software systems simple.
This blog is about how I do it.
Issue 8 of the Microsoft Architecture Journal is out, download it here. In it you can find my article on Autonomous Services & Enterprise Entity Aggregation:
Enterprises today depend on heterogeneous systems and applications to function. Each of these systems manages its own data and often doesnât explicitly expose it for external consumption. Many of these systems depend on the same basic concepts like customer and employee and, as a result, these entities have been defined in multiple places in slightly different ways. Entity aggregation embodies the business need to get a 360-degree view of those entities in one place. However, this business need is only one symptom of the larger issue: business/IT alignment.
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have been hailed as the glue that would bring IT closer to business, yet the hype is already fading. Weâll take a look at concrete ways that autonomous services can be used to transform the way we develop systems to more closely match business processes and solve immediate entity aggregation needs.
If you'd like to only download this article (at 130KB) rather than the whole Journal (at 3.3MB), you can find it here (sans all the pretty Microsoft layout).
