SOA vs. EDA: Is Not Life Simply a Series of Events?

Confluent

I will attempt to articulate in layman’s terms what an event-driven architecture (EDA) is and contrast it with service-oriented architecture (SOA). Philosophy aside and back to technology, this is ultimately a discussion about SOA vs. EDA, or in other words, API vs. events. Augmenting SOA with EDA can overcome these restrictions.

Enough to make the business more scalable in a fly-by paralleling development, testing, and maintenance across various independent teams. This much more precise and smaller architecture brought in many benefits.

Microservices and Kafka: A Perfect Match for Enabling Event-driven Architecture and Supercharging Integration

TIBCO - Connected Intelligence

With that, SOA has started to hit its limit. Scaling is a nightmare, only allowing vertical scalability by adding more memory, more CPUs, or both. It’s not just simply a request, which is why SOA isn’t the best choice when designing modern architectures that require a move to the cloud.

Microservices Done Right: Avoid the Antipatterns! Part 1

Accenture

No centralized workflow or state management exists – unlike traditional Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Not architecting for scalability. If you are considering microservices architecture, make sure to architect for scalability. Services interact with each other through formal APIs. Avoid the Antipatterns!

Microservices Anti-patterns: It’s All About the People

OpenCredo

The SOA Heritage. Consciously or not, many organisations approach microservices as a better SOA. Firstly, the technology landscape has moved on since the early SOA days with the emergence of new tools and techniques such as automation, containers and streaming. Scalability is a change in the number of instances.
