In 15 years, service-oriented architecture (SOA) has gone from a buzzword to an established technology. But new patterns, frameworks, and standards continue to emerge in the SOA space. In this recently developed course, we will focus on design decisions and tradeoffs that SOA architects face today. Topics that will be covered include REST constraints and good practices; SOA solutions that include event-driven messaging, API gateways, and orchestration platforms; and microservices vs. monoliths, security, alternatives for integration to external systems, and other design considerations for SOA solutions.
