@dancres interesting read - what are you referring to specifically on recent micro-services commentary?
1
@csterwa martinfowler.com/articles/mi… - “We've seen many projects use this style in the last few years” - contrast with: queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=…

@dancres to clarify for myself on tweet size - Fowler's article is after-the-fact w/ little history info & Vogels includes history detail?
1
@csterwa No, I’m claiming that Fowler is rewriting history, ignoring the best part of a decade and attributing to the last few years only.

@dancres although micro-services arch pattern has been impl for decade++, Fowler refs May 2011 Venice mtg where term came up
2
@csterwa @dancres It seems the *term* dates from 2011, but the concept, of course, goes back to at least Unix @boicy

@martinfowler @csterwa @boicy Okay, what’s the value of encouraging the use of a new-term for an old practice/concept/approach?
2
@dancres What term do you suggest should be used instead?
2
@stilkov SOA. It’s just services: queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=…

Replying to @dancres
@dancres Fair enough. SOA is more often thought to mean enterprise-wide integration and much bigger services, though.

@stilkov Often, true enough but not for all of us. And there were examples to the contrary at the time.
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov @dancres @trondhr agree SOA is overloaded as enterprise (monolith) application integration (EAI) using webservices.

@jeppec @stilkov @trondhr I think the overloading of terms our industry indulges in would be a great topic in and of itself.

@stilkov @dancres @trondhr but that's just a misconception. EAI as applied in most Enterprises has nothing to do with SOA

@jeppec @dancres @trondhr Who has authority to define what SOA is or isn’t?

Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov Disagree. Many regard services as a logical and the microservices are their physical comp, ACs in @UdiDahan's model. @dancres

@trondhr @UdiDahan @dancres I think the key about microservices is that they’re, well, micro. Don’t think that’s true for ACs.
