Breaking News: SOA Not Dead After All

by Miko Posted on January 9, 2009

SOA Evolution in Action

After being pronounced dead earlier this week, in an exceedingly improbable turn of events, SOA narrowly avoided being plowed by a meteor by evolving wings and flying off all the while making an annoying squawking sounds.

In an interview, Miko Matsumura, proprietor of the web site formerly known as SOA Center said “I’m completely perplexed, completely flummoxed.”

Mr. Matsumura had changed the name of his web site from SOA CENTER to WHATEVER CENTER to commemorate the passing of SOA.

“You have no idea how much money it’s cost me, I’ve had bumper stickers printed for Whatever Center and everything.” he lamented. “I’m quite angered at this exceedingly improbable turn of events, I’d made considerable business plans for Whatever Center, and now I’m going to have to go back to SOA Center.”

Experts have weighed in on the situation:

“I must say, this is an exceedingly improbable event.” One expert was heard to say.

Whatever Center recieves kudos from key analyst in the whatever sector

I woke up this morning to see that Anne Thomas Manes had twittered my changing the SOA Center web site to whatever center…

Anne and Sashaatmanes Love Miko’s response to “SOA is Dead”: http://whatevercenter.com/ about 1 hour ago from web

A great boost to our little thought experiment…

On a more serious note to real practitioners, I am composing a baby/bathwater list to try to reorganize the architectural insights and patterns as well as challenges in Enterprise IT. The “death” of SOA leaves a pretty big vacuum and one that will require a constructive and creative response. Welcome 2009 out with the old, in with the new… become the change we need, and yes we can!

SOA is Dead, long live Whatever!

by Miko Posted on January 7, 2009

In honor of Anne’s declaration that SOA is Dead, I have decided to shut down the SOA CENTER blog site.

I would like to inaugurate my new blog, now called the WHATEVER CENTER at http://www.whatevercenter.com

It will take a while for the URL http://whatevercenter.com to propagate through the DNS, so for the time being, please keep using http://soacenter.com

This new blog will be dedicated to building solutions in large-scale software deployments, architecture, cloud computing, composite applications and of course last but not least:

THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS SOA
the artist formerly known as SOA.

In the interim stages where we dont know what to call this thing we are doing with Enterprise Architecture, we will refer to a symbol made by the hands in the shape of a “W” as follows:
