Clemens Vasters has a post where he questions the existence of SOA.
WhatÂ’s different now is that it is easier, cheaper and likely more productive to create bridges between systems.
He confirms my suspicions. The tools makes it easier, but it’s just not a completely new architecture paradigm. And you bridge systems only when you need it, because it adds complexity.
