So, are you suggesting people NOT architect for distribution and rewrite the system when load becomes such that it isn't cost effective to scale it up any more?

Very nice article! I have a question for you... Would you want to use an SOA-based solution for the purpose of future scalability?

For example, we have built a service which is an endpoint for scheduling data. Currently the only consumer is our web application. The consumer could one day grow to include Windows apps or Silverlight apps.

Your thoughts?

Thanks!

Dearest commentators!

Let me first express my deepest sorrow about super late response! Usually am very fast on replies – less than 24 hours, something really went wrong here.

@Udi Dahan

That is NOT what I suggest. I do suggest planning for SOA and other distributed architectures. What I suggest is asking questions I mentioned in this post. Asking these questions will help you identify what you know and what you do not know. If you are not asking these questions you are in the position where you do not know what you do not know. That is bad situation to be in. Expect non-pleasant surprises. A lot of. From your end users complaining on bad perf, IT folks who do not know how to handle incidents, security stuff, and few more. If you are NOT asking these questions you are more likely to rewrite your SOA architecture-based app either.

@Denny Ferrassoly

I would. You describe very valid scenario for “SOA” app. I like calling it distributed app vs SOA. Just do not forget that your customers are the most important part. SOA customers are more IT guys, developers, and architects. Want to satisfy them? Ask those questions when you build your next SOA app

@Fady Anwar

Great to hear you liked it! Thanks for the KICK!

Me estás eSTRESSando !!
