Explore the fundamental distinctions between Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices in this 48-minute conference talk from NDC Melbourne 2025. Clarify common misconceptions about microservices implementation and understand how microservices function as an implementation style within the broader SOA paradigm. Step back to examine foundational SOA concepts before diving deep into microservices, domain APIs, and experience APIs. Learn how to assess and implement these architectural approaches effectively by understanding core elements that help align architectural decisions with specific organizational needs. Discover practical strategies for "slicing and dicing" SOA to create more effective system architectures. Gain comprehensive insights into evaluating whether your current architecture truly qualifies as microservices and how to make informed decisions about service boundaries and implementation patterns.
