Synopses & Reviews
For years, Thomas Erl's Service-Oriented Architecture: Concepts, Technology, and Design has been the definitive end-to-end tutorial on SOA, service orientation, and service technologies. Now, Erl and a world-class team of service experts have thoroughly updated their best-seller to reflect the new practices, technologies, and strategies that have emerged through the past decade of hard-won SOA experience.
Fully reflective of modern SOA environments, this Second Edition presents dozens of current case study examples, as well as 300+ diagrams that illuminate every key facet of creating, leveraging, and sustaining contemporary SOA. Erl and his colleagues guide you through every key phase of the SOA delivery lifecycle, from analysis and design through modern governance. Coverage includes:
- How SOA has evolved: crucial lessons learned, and current best practices
- Service technologies: WS-* and REST in contemporary environments
- Service Orientation principles and techniques, including new approaches to Service Inventories
- Building SOA: planning, analysis, modeling, technology, and design
- Governing SOA, including new SOA Governance Frameworks and Vitality approaches
Synopsis
The Top-Selling, De Facto Guide to SOA--Now Updated with New Content and Coverage of Microservices
For more than a decade, Thomas Erl s best-selling Service-Oriented Architecture: Concepts, Technology, and Design has been the definitive end-to-end tutorial on SOA, service-orientation, and service technologies. Now, Erl has thoroughly updated the industry s de facto guide to SOA to reflect new practices, technologies, and strategies that have emerged through hard-won experience and creative innovation.
This Second Edition officially introduces microservices and micro task abstraction as part of service-oriented architecture and its associated service layers. Updated case study examples and illustrations further explain and position the microservice model alongside and in relation to more traditional types of services.
Coverage includes:
Easy-to-understand, plain English explanations of SOA and service-orientation fundamentals (as compiled from series titles)
Microservices, micro task abstraction, and containerization
Service delivery lifecycle and associated phases
Analysis and conceptualization of services and microservices
Service API design with REST services, web services, and microservices
Modern service API and contract versioning techniques for web services and REST services
Up-to-date appendices with service-orientation principles, REST constraints, and SOA patterns (including three new patterns)
Service-Oriented Architecture: Analysis and Design for Services and Microservices, Second Edition, will be indispensable to application architects, enterprise architects, software developers, and any IT professionals interested in learning about or responsible for designing or implementing modern-day, service-oriented solutions.
