Hi, I am Gregor Hohpe, co-author of the book Enterprise Integration Patterns. I work on and write about asynchronous messaging systems, distributed architectures, and all sorts of enterprise
computing and architecture topics.
Find my posts on IT strategy, enterprise architecture, and digital transformation at ArchitectElevator.com.
I just added a new article to my site. There is a lot going on in the area of SOA patterns but not everything that shines is gold. It thought it's time I'd share my thoughts on the intersection between patterns and SOA.
Design Patterns have enjoyed enormous popularity in the software community and have become somewhat of a fad. This can make it challenging to distinguish patterns that convey new knowledge from recipes or tutorials that have been cast into patterns form. This article examines the role patterns play in the adoption of new technologies and architectural styles. In particular it describes why the shift to service-oriented architectures requires us to discover, document, and share new patterns.
Gregor is a cloud architect and author. He is a frequent speaker on asynchronous messaging,
IT strategy, and cloud.
